so we can drink tea and talk shyte!!!

you've got the instructing lark sorted then....... as 'chief' instructor, cough, choke, I will be talking the most sheeite and in true chiefy type fashion, doing the least amount of work....I think it's called delegation.... or possibly learning & development as it's called nowadays although there is no budget for development anymore, just a link to a website or 'sametime' active learning sessions, maybe instructors should follow this lead and just tell people to read twist of the wrist...

ok Bradders, you're first bit of virtual instruction

just go faster

there you go, easy this instructing game

I have a photo of me racing on my CB5 at home next to a picture of James Toseland fully cranked over on his Ducati, both signed by him, on the photo he wrote "just go faster" and on the poster he wrote "not this fast though"
We talked for about 20 minutes about CB racing, he loved it when he won the CB5 cup. He was going to Donny to see his mate racing a few weeks later at a New Era meeting and said he would look me up in the paddock.....must have had another engagement as he never showed up!

Cheeky pup

Mood: R U thinking what I'm thinking?......Oh dear!
I'm not convinced of the instructing lineups qualifications to talk complete borroxs.

They need to prove themselves...................

Track etiquette

Lord R’ or anyone of your noteworthy colleagues, can I trouble you for some advice on track etiquette and associated niceties for Cadwell park.

Will these Desmo Due racing ladies and gentlemen (I wager they may be some ladies present but I can be difficult to ascertain on the circuit especially if they are not riding side saddle) give some sort of signal if they wish too overtake, perhaps three short toots on their mounts horn or a hand gesture as they come alongside?
How should we acknowledge such a signal, a cheery wave or nicely handwritten letter to their staff in the paddock?

Can arrangements been made for riding companions with umbrellas should one need shading from the sun as one circulates about the circuit on ones steed?

Yours respectfully,

Ray
