we need one of them Flanks - and the 'embarrassed' one too:D

how d'you do that?:puzzled:

just used the url from the properties of the picture, and posted as an image

remind me next week to do, not really got time now, and not near a pc during tomorrow.

Yes I bin'ed a Ducati UK bike- sorry to ducati and all who wanted to ride it after me.

well my thoughts on the M620:
Engine- very good, with lots of drive
Supension - Soft
Ground clearance - not enougth (less than a m600?)
Brakes - bring back the 4 pot stoppers.

anyway the accident:
had the exhaust on the ground (again) as i turned into Gerrards.
knee on the ground trying to keep the thing on it's wheels
ran wide
grass to gravel
over the bars
was knock out & bike landed on me (so I was told)
to Hospital to get head and back checked.
all ok nothing broken

just need a new helmet and leather-since these where cut off
but they need a good job, so that dose matter.
hope to be back on bikes next week.

Thanks to all that helped me
especialy the medical staff at the track, the hosital staff. and the people who sorted the van out for me.

sorry to all for causing delay in track time
and for those who had to watch me go off

aching and a bit sore

oh well gotto fall off some time
rather do it there than down some remote lane on my own.

Shame about the fallers - three at Gerrards and one at Edwinas. All three at Gerrards just ran out of track going in too quickly, I saw the final one happen. There was one other off, but it involved a No Limits instructor on a CB5 - no not me this time, one of the guys slid the back a bit too much at the hairpin and ran out of grip - picked it up and carried on!

On a lighter note, what a fantastic day. Weather was lovely all day, although there was a moment when it got a bit dark and we thought it might rain. I have an eye infection at the moment and can't wear my lenses, so had my prescription sun glasses on. They fit better under my helmet, so I wore them on the bike under my black visor, so when the dark clouds came over, I could hardly see!

Great to meet Stuart Easton and Paul Smart as well, what a nice man. When he came to sign on later in the morning, I gave him and the MD of DUK a very short brief on what was happening and jokingly asked him if he'd done many trackdays - he either didn't get the joke, didn't think it was worth responding to or thought I was a numpty being serious. I overtook him on the CB5 anyway, so there:lol:

Also good fun to mix it with a few DD racers as well, these bikes looks the absolute nuts, can't wait to see a full grid of them at Snet.

And handing out Haribo jelly sweets while were waiting on the grid to go out John..doesnt get any better than that !

Yep great day resulting in a 1.04 lap which I was quite happy with on the bikes (rubbish!) standard Michelin Pilot tyres.....apart from my highside slippy slidy moment entering the esses...absolutely shat myself I dont mind admitting...it was only the damper that stopped me going over the bars..:o

Quite nice experience following young Stuart Easton round on the 749 (very quick young man)..although he did outbrake himself at Edwinas and went straight on :lol:

Also impressed with Dave Reilly on his desmodue bike...very swift..


Cheers

AK also had a brilliant day.

He just came home with an extra bike:o - black M900, about 5 yrs old & 5 thou on the clock, and hefty scuffs newly created, and a few broken bits on it

Owner did phone us a short while ago, but Alan didnt get his name, or a phone number (muppet!).

If anyone knows him (Twickenham resident - no, not TP) AK CAN fix the bike with the loan of stuff from our race spares bin, enough to get the bike ridden home.

Absolutly cracking day.
Spent many hours talking to lizzie and Michael and the other DD'ers Had lunch with Stuart and the lads from Ducati uk(whilst negotiating for the damaged 620).
Most impressive part of the day was watching Stuarts race mechanic Jay bounce the back of Chris's bike half a dozen times and the discribe to Chris EXACTLY how its handling!!!
Knowledge is a wonderfull thing.
As usual the lads from No Limits ran a first class day.
Thanks to all involved
Butch

He and I have a similar riding style :smug:

I followed him through after getting the back wheel of the 999 off the deck - where's the brown leathers smillie?

Was a very good day

Big thanks to No Limits for a well run, friendly day

:)Crust

Charlotte, I may have the van at your place tomorrow with my monster in the back of it so I could bring it back to Twickenham as well if it's needed.

Then I could have three Ducati's in the garage :D , albeit briefly :(

Tony - if we knew who the guy was - or had a contact number, we would recco he took you up on that!
