not running at all now? Looks like my tools are taking a trip through the blackwall tunnel then.
Give me a shout at the end of the week and we'll sort it out.

its virtually unrideable as it is ... :(
So Webby - just you & me (& WJB)
I'll be there assuming it's dry probably book on the wed/thurs next week - can't think it'll sell out??
Webby - what the new steed then - heard rumours you're turned to the dark side...........
Dickie
Would like to do the trackday in Feb - but probably going diving......

Who is organising the track day?
Trackday is with No Limits - £89
Dickie - going to the blue hole in Dahab if we ever get organised assuming they don't bomb it again.............freediving
Been doing it for 18 months, qualified in Nice in June - trackdays are for wimps!
To be honest the deepest I've gone is 25m (constant weight) so more like extreme snorkelling!!
Good way of keeping fit though

Ooh, the blue hole!
I tried to get up to there when I was in Sharm in Sept but couldn't swing it. I want to do some technical courses so I can swin over the hole, go down the oceanside and come back up through into the middle. They entrance is at 100m apparently. Yes that's right, 100m!

freediving! not for me. what made you take that up?
TP - Blue hole - very deep, very nice! - been trying to set up a trip for years!
Dickie - tried it in Sharm, liked it & realised it was a good way to keep fit

probably his "anti samonella" spray, which luckily wouldn't have been needed on Sunda.

I'll see what the weather looks like later next week and then decide. Agree don't think it'll be a sellout.
Yep have turned to the dark far eastern side and should be picking her up this sunday all being well:D

Quality hijacking of a thread guys....back to the plot....
Weather says dry at the moment and mild.....could be an ace day.....or it could hiss is with rain!!!
In any case, the No Limits garage will have the mega gas heater going, the tea urn bubbling away and the big screen showing the No Limits DVD and a few chairs for me to have a kip on inbetween sessions. Who cares about the weather.....I'll be on a CB500 with wets!!!!!!!!
Bring it on

had a brill day, started wet, but the cb5 with wets on was buzzing. by mid morning we had a dry line and from just before lunch the RR came out to play with super corsa pros. Did loads of laps, busy day. saw a few of the DSC lads. knackered now though. Picked up my new 05 upsidedown forks with the radial brakes from Colin at 100% who has just fitted Ohlins internals for me, should be fitted for Jerez in January.
Still Sunday to rest then it's off to Donny on Monday
Hoping that will be 'dry and mild' as well...

Hello
Many thanks to WeeJohnyB and No-limits and especially Mark for the instruction, arrived in the dark/rain, without thinking picked paddock number 13:o
an R6 and R1 in with me both crashed out.:eek:
Had a fantastic day lots of dry lines, and sun.:)
Made it home in good time to get the car to meet the Oxon peeps,
went to fuel the car and put £15 worth of unleaded in my diesel.:(

Damn - sounds good - should have gone!

thats about 16 litres and I think your tank holds about 70 litres so if you fill it up and dilute it down it should be ok, I know people who have done worse and got away with it. Just keep topping up with diesel and diluting it down

Was there at Brands and Dony. Bit of wet track Saturday morning and bit of wind on Monday but let's not be picky for a December hey! Absolute couple of brilliant days.
Felt absolute rusty since I had not been on a track for more than a year and was trying my new 998(R)S. So quite a lot of adaptation but getting back into it slowly... and realising what a brilliant bike I have.
Actually I managed to keep Johnny behind for a few corners (he was listening to the noise!!!) :)
Joining a picture of the bike as an eye candy. (some will recognise that this was the bike that Steve was selling earlier in the year).
