Been to Almeria for 4 days ........
 

4 days on track................:D

Weather looks like 30 degrees all week!.......thankfully!

Are we supposed to be happy?

:lol:

Hello andyb

Have a great time, lets see some pic's when you get back
to cheer us all up . . . :)

TopiToo

well i know i am!...................;)

oooooooooooooooooooooooh!:D

Lucky bugger, I loved that track last year!

How did you get on? Got some pics for us yet?

Fantastic..........,and well done F/events!


The track was resurfaced 2 weeks ago so it was smooth and even, with loads of grip! Plus it wasnt aggressive on the tyres too much!

Glorious weather in the 30s everyday.

Piccies to follow.......

Stalking my mate........

late apex..........

Looking good Andy, and the track definitely looks smooth - it wasn't like that when I was there! And the temps were a bit milder, but a great track nonetheless!

I had to take a good book though, the Desmo Due bike took a while to get down that 1KM straight!

Actually got the old girl into 6th gear down there!!!! followed by a comfortable bit of skwirming from the rear tyre to make the last right/left combo...........

6th eh! That must have been a fair rate of knots! Thank god those things are fairly stable on the brakes :D

Saw over the 160......ish.

Have to say my bike performed superbly, i was chuffed to bits it didnt miss a beat!

Unfortunately there was a chap there on another 04 999R who had the statutory plug coil failure on his front cylinder day 2.............and the nero 999 that didnt want to start..........does get embarassing when the pit is mumbling about poxy Ducatis.......

Got one back for the Ducatisti though, out braking him on his mates K5 thingy...........

And you're looking pretty good on the bike too - all in all a good 4 days then!

Dos cerveza per favor :D

Dos bottles of rioja por favor!.............(read as "why did i do that?"......)

:lol: In one evening? :eek:

This might be a bit of blasphemy on this site but after my more recent trips to Silverstone and Brands I'm beginning to get a soft spot for .... the R1!!!!

<----------- They're a bit nippy!

If there was a sore point of the trip it was the hotel...........still it was clean etc but food was sheiitte!

At least with the hire car we all ventured out.....two cars got smashed up !!:lol: :lol:

and a third hit the armco barriers......:lol:

You know the score though, no food ish during the day, straight out for a few beers.....oh the wine looks tempting, the next thing you cant stop!........

Said we would meet up with a group of lads from the Wirral, (read Scousers)
they were the ones who hit the barrier on the way to the restaurant, we were getting directions from them by phone to the "look for the giant Shrimp" restaurant. Then it dawned that they might be screwing the rooms while we were out!:lol:

Met a nice South African lad on an R6, had done Silverstone level 1,2 recently......he got carried away on the Sea food......one meal, over 100 euros worth of Lobster and king prawn thingies......

All good fun......

Not at all, I am the epitome of self control when it comes to alcohol :o


Oh yum! My favourite! I love seafood ... and a nice crisp kiwi white wine to go with it ... ahhh, bliss!

They are ugly though these 999's..........

Agreed ;)

:lol:

You know it miffed my mate off somewhat..........in the pits, at lunch, evening meal, everyone want to look at the duke, talk duke, and ask all about the bike...........some just stood and stared!

A quick lap....?

Who knows???

Anyone can look good in a photo!

;) :p

Youve been drinking havnt you........;)

Oh and i disagree with that! :eek:

I didn't mean you looked good :lol:

It certainly looks quick enough, I'd be very happy with that shot :)

Have you started on the wine yet?

Kind of feel ive had my fill really.........but yes..

:D

I'm off to grab my first beer!!! I can't believe I've held off this long on a Sat night!

I'm out of wine, otherwise I'd have some of that ... it's a red wine kind of night I think ..

im all rioja'd up..........

Do you want me to PM you my address so you can post some down? :D

what, pictures....?:D :alien:

ready for another one....?
