Felix,

Sounds like you had a good weekend, you are so right about time in the saddle, there really isn't any substitute for it.

As you know I did two meetings in 2003 on my 748R and got some fairly decent results (top 5's), then apart from two track days (one of which was DSC Rocky where in the spirit of unison with 12 other riders I chucked it into the gravel) I didn't ride the bike at all in 2004 due to other commitments.

Determined to do a full season in 2005 in my first practice outing at a circuit that I particularly like I was 5 seconds slower than I had previously been around there in 2003 in spite of the fact that I had now fitted a new motor with considerably more Power!

However, it doesn't take to long to get back in the groove - so make sure you book the next outing soon!

Well done.

Well done Felix, great start, but I know you have more to give. There's little substitute for time on the bike and racing in particular as said above. I know, cause I've not had much time on th ebike without instructing and I've not raced at all yet this season......and I'm getting slower by the week.

Nice report mate, I will try and find you and your team at Mallory now I know who you all are !!
I am so jealous of you lot with BHP.......my poor thing is rattling even more after donny having given everyone of it's last 110hp to drag my arse around I would have killed for another 20hp and a couple of 6th place finishes
Roll on Mallory.........and Mr Photographer can you look for no.67 as I seem to be mr.invisible

Oh, you're not invisible to me Mr 67! In fact, I am going to use you as my next target, if you don't mind. I already tried at Donny, but just couldn't manage it as you finished about 15 sec or so in front of me.

I won't be at Mallory, as I will be watching the MotoGP race at Laguna Seca, but my two team mates will. It'll be good to meet you, tough, at a future event.

Well done Felix.

Was miffed to miss the meet but after seeing this I am double miffed but well made up for you.

Confidence returning, race time under your belt, best bike in the field

You will be bringing more silverware than that home next time out i think!
