TP\'s had a brain explosion ...
 

... sorry, can't make the popham megameet this weekend.

I've entered the Desmo Due monster in the MRO round at Cadwell this weekend. I've entered minitwins.

Woohoo!!!

I'll be number 12 too, wicked!

Yes yes I know, I'll get whooped. Just like Saturday ... I don't care. I'm going for the experience and to enjoy it.

I'm really looking forward to this now.

So - if you want to pop in and say hello, feel free. I'm looking for a pit monkey too if someone is able to help. Basically someone to drive the van if I break me or something - who knows. Tell me to wind my neck in when I'm getting stressed etc, that sort of thing.

Anyone?

Is it saturday or sunday tony?

Both, two races each day.

I'm going to try and make it to the practice day on the Friday as well and get a few laps in the afternoon. Just to get used to the bike on SuperCorsa Pro's as opposed to the diablo's we're running now.

If my decorating schedule allows i might be able to get over on sunday!

I would go dude, but it's a 200 mile trek just to get to your place.

Good luck though chap, I'm sure you'll do better than I did on Sunday ;)

Will it be raining?

Best of luck mate, if ir wasn't for Popham, I come with ya's, even tho ya a dirty rottern cheatin Ozz :P

Weather forecast is sunny :D

Good luck, dare you to wear a wally bib just to see how close they will get to you in corners.

Dare me? I have to!! I'm still a novice so I have to wear a novice bib.

I may feel a touch out of place though ...

LOL how funny is that, I did a BSB practise at cadwell a fue years back and they were all over me rubbing tyres and all sorts. Next practise I took the bib off and was left alone funny that.

Anyway have fun.

Good for you Tony,was going to silverstone sat but may have to redirect.
Give it your best shot,hopefully you'l come away with a draw!:lol:

Nice one TP, hope it goes well, not sure I'd pick a MRO event, well not with my 583 as making the quallifying time would be hard work. I would still like to try Minitwins with North Glos at Pembrey, may yet happen.
But best of luck hope you havve a cracking weekend.
My mates lad Craig Polden should be there somewhere near the front of the Minitwins.

Great idea TP. Hope you have a stormer and show the overpowered fools how to do it! :D

See you Monday.

I now have a pit monkey for the weekend and I've even picked up a new sponsor - SENSATIONAL!!

Thanks to Steve 'Shaggy' @ Wraysbury Tyres for your help mate. You're a top geeza!

I know have a sponsor 'list' :D

I'm quite happy at the moment!!

Good Luck - Hope you enjoy- Have you shoehorned an 800 motor in there ?

Good luck TP
 

Did anybody see Boggy8 in the minitwins Saturday afternoon :puzzled:

Well, you needed someone to hold your hand and tell you how brilliant you are.

The things I do with my weekends......

You allowed wets this weekend TP, I think you might need em.:(

I cannot believe it!!!

The weather forecast yesterday said dry and sunny!!! All weekend!!!

How can it go from that to light rain all weekend? That is so crap!

Oh and we are allowed wets - I've organised some supercorsa pro's that I'll be picking up tomorrow but I may need to organise some wets as well!

BUGGER!!!

Kev, having spoken to Tony to some extent over several months, I know why he's doing it, and I don't blame him ;)

Glad you've some help mate, now show an Aussie can not cheat :P

I wouldn't be so sure about that. His "help" for the weekend is also Australian. ;-)

:D

Thanks Phill!

Then i sense, major league cheating ponting stylie!

Lucky I've got a good sense of humour!

:frog:

That you have mate :P

Not bad price for a minitwin racebike

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/2004-DUCATI-Mo...cmd ZViewItem

And my ohlins shock would bolt straight in ....

Hang the expense, don't sell the 996 but ride it in Sound of Thunder instead......

You know you want to.

:)

It's not such a bad idea you know .... but I'd rather spend more time in a class more dependant on corner speed than horsepower. Like Desmo Due or Minitwins.

Race the 996, you can't sell it anyway!! :P

So would an 800ssie be elgible for minitwins? :devil:

As I understand it Paul the answer to your question is yes. As of this year they I believe have allowed in 800CC aircooled bikes.

800SSie - Yes

Air-cooled twins up to 820cc are eligible. And that Paul, is my bike of choice for minitwins.

and your rearsets, the front wheel and discs are also interchangeable with your 620 and 996.
Just had to go and check you hadn't used the buy it now option :P

You selling something?

I'm at a Cadwel track day on Monday, traveling up Sun afternoon. Depending on arrival times will stop by the circuit to see how you did.

You mean you are racing on STICKY TYRES!!!! Ooops, wrong thread!

Have a good one.

Yes - Supercorsa's :D

I'll u2u you my mobile number so you can let me know if you'll be there.

PS - I have spare tickets.

So how did you find it TP ?
Can see you completed all the sessions and finished without mishap so come on spill the beans - how did the little DD bike do ? :)

He's still there racing today Lin.

Yesterday was practice, Qualifying and race 1.

Today is 2 more races.

Last night I believe he was extremely drunk, judging by the torrent of ungentlemanly texts I got :lol:

I'll let TP reveal results and lap times, coz I don't wanna embarrass him :P
