[Trumpet]

Kev, I was at Snetterton on Sunday and had some new tyres fitted; I was told by the bloke on the tyre truck that we were definitely on the same tyres and that he had all the remaining tyres 'ringfenced' for this year!

I have to admit that wobbling round Snetterton on the first session, I realised that it had been Brands last year since I was on any bike, but by the afternoon it was starting to feel normal.....apart from the idiot that charged up the inside and then running wide, pushing me off onto the nice slippery wet grass! I ended up about 100 yards from the track in a ploughed field.....still upright..... but at that particular moment I would have quite happily 'ripped him a new one!!!!'
Anyway had a great day at Snetterton, was good to see a few friendly faces and now just looking forward to the season.
