Grib posting here....
We didn't get snowed in after all! Cracking day, albeit bloody freezing cold. Unfortunately Rattler had a bit of a mishap in the last session and his bike's not looking so good now :( Loads of crashes, people losing the front all over the place....it was just a little too chilly to press on.

Rattlers ok though, just spoken to him, he was just entereing an Indian eatery with Nelly ..... damage is mainly "sticky out bits" on the bike .....

Thanks dibs good to hear he's not done to much damage and hasn't lost he's apatite. Nice curry should get some warmth back in to him, Nelly that is if he was there watching. :lol:

Cracking day with loads of track time. A few lowsides on the very cold tarmac. Only the very fastest could keep any heat in their tyres. I had warmers and those wooly covers over my tyres and they still didn't get very hot. By the time I'd done 6 laps, the left of the tyre was freezing and the right only mildly warm, so the trick with warmers was to go for it from the first corner and then ease off and come in.

Shame Tim went down:( Hope you're not too bruised and the bike is just the easy-fix bits.

The No Limits van head gasket went so we had to get the nice men from AA Relay to take us home.

Photos available on Guido's site below, (in the next few days).

Back up to Cadwell for racing in two weeks, ouch, so far off the pace. Paul who does our hire bikes went out on his CB5 and blitzed me, kept with him for a bit then he just beggered off. ah well, as long as it's not as cold as yesterday, should be fun.

If I know Guido, he will have got plenty pics over the mountain. What may dissapoint you is just how small your wheelie was! Mine are never more than a few inches.

As I remember you're not allowed to wheelie there and I was told before that standing up to push the front down isn't allowed LOL

Just between you and me I think Couchie's wheelie's were a tad higher than a few inches :D
