Thankfully Stalker sent me his address today to send him his futidge, while he is in Spain I can "borrow" his SD, however I think he might notice if I wear off the chicken strips once I put it back.......

Unfortunately im at Court (again) on the Tues, and lates Monday

I used Smallboy trackbikehire the links are from NoLimits site, £200 for a days rental, could probably get it cheaper for 2 days, as stated that was for a gixxer 600 you can pay for triumph race spec 675 and a race CB500

Was some seriously fast riders out there today and they wer'nt taking any prisoners,if you dont like close passing at high speed then today was'nt for you


Great pics...leaving pits with your warmers on
good stuff gentlemen
There may have been a minor crash, you know, in the spirit of things...
I would expect nothing less
Mmmm doh!!!
I think I need to get my brakes sorted, they might be a bit snatchy ...

It was a decent couple of days, on the Monday we had the morning and then the heavens truly opened. Klinck and Ginge arrived joining myself and Reaper and some intoxication may have occurred, Ginge trying to cycle up the mountain after a few 'wife beaters' didn't make us laugh at all. Today was a different day, the BSB boys were out and bee fook they were quick. it was a great day until I came off but to be fair, it didn't ruin my day as it bloody threw it down immediately after, bit sore but massive thanks to both chaps for mechanical help before and after my ridiculous off...
Hey I have a memory problem ok Warmer is repairable, it just pulled the live and neutral wires out of the connectors in the warmer, will get it sorted over the weekend.

Was a brilliant day as always. Had a giggle out on track with Ronin and Reaper, Ginge volunteered for pit bitch duties again, I think he secretly likes it you know Was in fact the camera man for the day, the official guy could learn a lot from the angles he finds.
Day didn't get off to a good start. Went up to 100% suspension as I have just fitted the SDR forks. Basically there is very little rebound damping in them. Even on 1 click its not enough They are coming out and heading to MCT. Annoying but shit happens. Still managed to have a fab day and broke into the 1.44s so happy with that
There were a fair few BSB boys there, on the whole they were good as gold but there was one dude in a pink helmet who was a fooking prick Within 30 mins there were several people in the paddock very unhappy with his passes. Standing people up in corners was his fav. He did me through Hall Bends about an hour in Proper stood me up when 30 ft later he could have easily passed me at the Hairpin. First time I've had to complain about a quick and obviously talented rider. He really didnt give a flying fook about anyone else out there though. There were a couple a blokes wanting to chin him He seemed to chill out after the bollocking. At least I didn't see him stand anyone up again.
We had some great track time right up to 3.30 when it fooking chucked it down. Only downer was someone decided it was Crashfest 2012 MkII - now with added crash! I'll leave him to fill you all in but safe to say he did it with style 15 mins after the MSV van pulled up to drop off Super Duke cargo the rain came so we all packed up and headed off. Great day apart from the off, at least rider and bike are ok, they really do crash well you know

Edit: he posted while I was typing that. Looks fooking scary on the vid. I had literally just gone up the inside of him a spit second before he binned it. As I came round Mansfield 40 secs later I saw Dan walking around at the bottom of Coppice and thought I'd stood him up or something and it had gone wrong. Spent the next 10 mins in the pits feeling guilty as fook thinking I'd trashed his bike. Was a very relieved man when I heard the words "false neutral" The guy we had just both overtaken out of Barn said it was most impressive. At one point Ronin's bike was sliding along the tarmac at around a ton and he was sat on it's side surfing it before they parted company Just glad both he and bike are ok. A couple of pics of the wounded beast. it must have slid into the grass at speed to force the turf into the wheel rim like that. Both tyres were like that.

Holy feck dude, Kudos for one of fasted SD crashes on GOPRO

I still dont see how you managed to crash, did the front tuck? that sooo needed a slow mo, thought you could have just kept going onto the grass?

Neck ok?
Bike ok?

And how were the R forks?
Good to see your getting lick on CK, forgot you got R forks too, they lost rebound due to age?

Sorry could not make it down, work, work, work

DAN the problem there is very clear
you slid forward onto the tank and the extra weight made the front tuck
nothing to do with the brakes or false neutral
nice crash and yes i am happy to see you mostly got away with it
