I'm doing the Desmo Due series now.

I haven't ridden much really since 1999. The only time I've ridden bikes since then is when I go racing, I've gone 5 years out of the last 7 without even sitting on a bike, let alone owning one or riding. It's been tough.

I did have a ZX7 in 2003 for about 3 months, then I sold that to buy a CB500 which I raced once and then sold it. Then did nothing until last year when I did DD.

Dunno why I expect so much when I go racing really. I'll be turning up at the first race this year without having sat on a bike since the last race last year. Nevermind.

You'll be fine. It will all come back to you after half a lap round on the sighting lap (it always does with me!!)

Are you racing this year then?

Yep, after a few years off. Did the New Era Pro Bikes for a while, then I spent last season spannering for a BSB superstocks team www.motomob.co.uk . This year i've been offered a ride doing the KRC endurance championship. Should be a laugh. Trouble is the BSB team want me again, so gonna be a busy old year arrgghh!! Ah well, it's good to be at the tracks.
