Who Lost their Silencer at Brands
 
So was it then?
Saw it actually happen, one second it was pointing the wrong way, next it was off and laying in the middle of the track.
Marshall's didn't spot it first off, but when one did it was like a comedy momnet on tv.
The guy comes running down the hill and onto the track, he has about 10 seconds to pick it up before the leaders come round the corner.
Instead of picking it up he decides to finsh the pipe off with two huge toe punts.
Dont know if he broke his toe but he made sure the pipe was buggered good and proper.
It was funny to watch, just hope the pipe was still useable for however lost it.

Poor Jed. I don't think he's done a race report, but he was up to 4th on the first lap, from a grid position of 9th. I came around on about the second or 3rd lap and thought - Blimey there's a can in the middle of the track. Then I thought -Hmm looks like Jeds can! A few laps later I caught him and passed him. His bike was making a nasty rattly noise! he finished just behind me in 16th.

Actually I thought it might have cooled down a bit cos I remember doing a few laps and thinking - Hasn't anybody moved that can yet?

antonye 25-Apr-2006 11:57

Yep, was trying to reel Dom in a bit and we passed the can!

I wondered whose it was! :lol:

900MAN 25-Apr-2006 12:57

Glad the can was usable, it was just such a comedy kick, a real punt.
