ok, so I'm somewhere far away, but still thinking of riding bikes. Big work deal on the moment, so visiting clients in HK and Sydney in 3 days, ouch, tired or what, what day is it? I have three overnight flights wed, thu and fri and then up to Donny for racing on Sat, so looking forward to my bed on Sunday night. The time difference means I'm all over the place. I've not slept now for over 36 hours. Tucking into a few beers at HK airport in the exec lounge, la de da and all that, the company pay billions for the flights, and I get free beer/wine/ food etc - although I don't know whether to have breakfast or dinner - answer is to drink beer.

See you at Donny maybe.

now thats taking jet-setting name-dropping to the extreme Johnny :P good luck on Sat mate

[Jools]

But I bet that jet setters like you are in business class eh?

Oh no.....more free wine and beer! My problem with long haul flights is that I sometimes forget I have to drive at the other end

I know what you mean WJB, I jet back in from the States late on Sunday 31st, load bike into truck, hook caravan on back and lumber my way slowly down to Snetterton for the TD on the 1st! Enjoy HK, and don't go s******g any of those gorgeous (oops) ladyboys in Bangkok!

Drop into the Coogee Bay Hotel for me while you're in Sydney.

Drink about 10 shots of tequila, a load of beer, watch a band in Selina's (the dodgy nightclub attached to the Coogee Bay, I saw the Offspring there once - I think) knock back a dodgy kebab/chinese then vomit all over the footpath out the front, all the way down to the beach and then fall asleep on the sand and wake up at 10am with wicked sunburn.

Ahh the memories ....

Hope you'll be bringing some gifts back when I come and say hello on Saturday
