[AK]

3 of them in the garage... 3 of us last nite too...

Have left the lads with long faces, after 'crasher Clemmans' had his wicked way with Mrs Snot at paddock in the gravel

So much gravel stuck in all kinds of places

as some of you know, it was half full in the airbox (memo: make sure there is a cover of some sort on yours, if it's likely to play in gravel) - and also gravel down the bits to the pistons. Also gravel jammed into the fins from all angles.

Head at the front is off, lots of gravel in there too - more piled up against the piston....

AK needs a magic wand - and not just for the other broken bits that have to be replaced (seat pod, throttle, footset etc) - and I'm going to have to take out shares in Mr Sheen to get the paintwork in anything like a good condition that it was.

Brands? - wossat then? - 2 weeks??

I've come in now, to escape the long silences in the garage

But keeping fingers xx'd that hubby, Doug & Mutters can mend/buy/steal/fix bits to get her living again

Good luck - it was a real shame to see Mrs Snot all gravelly!!

Alan takes great pride in prepping his bikes and was sad to see her looking a bit abused.

But she'll be back I'm sure.

I just hope she cut out before the gravel went into the cylinders!!!

we dont think she did Tim

no good to read... I really hope Alan the Desmo wizard is going to make her even more beautiful than before and in time for Brands.

Bugga - 675 then for Brands?

Sorry to hear of the little excursion CK. Am I right in thinking No 34 went the same way with a bandit on board?

[NBs996]

Bad news there's so much damage to the Snot, but Paddock tends to take no prisoners, I've marshalled there and seen the mess

#34 just got a bit muddy, didn't hit the deck jon.
actually it looks a bit like a tractor now but this ain't my thread so I'll shut up!

[AK]

#36 was carried away by enjoying himself so much, he didnt leave enough braking room... he said he hasnt slid so far ever!

#34 (with substitute jockey ) also did similar, but not to quite such extremes

hey-ho - thats the nature of the game tho - quicker you go, the quicker it tumbles - and the times were quite good on his last session too.

Tis trackdays/racing - occasionally something happens - we still have the smokin' 675 as you say tim, and also a 'stuffed' 583' - with no barrels.... so - we WILL be out to fight again - one way or the other


oops: - just need to add a disc to the shopping list too (or otherwise he'll nick the pair off my bike for the next meeting! )

I've got 3 spare sets of discs (one belonging to Paul)... in each of those one disc is warped I think, but it means one can be used... Let me know if it can help.
