Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear....
 
Apparently this:



and all the other bits currently sitting in my bellypan are supposed to be inside the engine!!! :o

Which is a damn shame as they exited stage left at a cruical moment in today's first race.... :(

Gutted.

Thanks for all the great offers after the race. I couldn't hope to blow up infront of a nicer bunch of people! :lol:

Apparently I missed quite a spectactular site - you going down the straight with the bike on fire. Didn't know there was a stunt show as well!

Shame I missed it all as I was so far back. Just came out of clearways and ran through a big cloud of black smoke and wondered who was having a bbq in the pits!

At least you've got 4 weeks to get it sorted - didn't Phil_H just acquire a spare engine...?

the belly pan looked quite spectacular as Ali went past the start finish line--it was glowing a bit!!!!!!!! looked like a mobile BBQ----commiserations and i hope you get things patched up before cadwell

Shame Ali, looks a bit expensive too :(

I promise not to ask you again how long your engine's gonna last!

Mutters 12-Sep-2005 00:28

Smooooooookin :lol:

Look i have been thinking about your offer and if you don't mind I am gona
Sleep on it.

You were thrashing it like a man who knew he was going to sell it today.

You must think I'm silly, there are other bikes out there you know
:frog:

Looking good till that fire though.:lol:

If previous repairs are anything to go by, Ali will have that engine patched up already with gaffer tape and extensive hammer fettling.

First one to go pop this year though - watch out you other smokers!!

There must be a 620 with your name on it Ali ;)
