Just eat more cake next time you want to celebrate your birthday mate !
I cant take that again ! It was just so good to see you walking out of the med centre looking a bit bewildered but otherwise ok.
Your dad has quite a story to take back tho

At least you learnt that doing a handstand on the tank isn't the way to save the bike !
1st crash looked awful, I was amazed you got back out and am glad you are ok if a little bruised and sore.
10/10 for style

Relieved you're ok, Chris.
It's dashed inconsiderate of you to knock yourself out like that. Us spectators are on the edge of our nerves seeing DD racers bin it. Doing it twice in one day is just hogging the limelight. The least you can do is stay conscious, get up and wave.

I'm sure all of us are very relieved you landed on your head, thereby doing no real damage. Although I think one DD racer might be thinking he'll knock you out cold for saying he was 'slow' round coram next time he sees you

Chris, very relieved that you're safe and sound.
What's the outlook for Cadwell, you and the bike fit?

Cadwell on a 620?

I thought you was on a 620 already, as you passed me on the back straight we looked at each other as you drove by.... I thought, wait for me...

Didnt know it was your birfday mate, you should'v said... Many happy returns.

I am gutted for you and your Dad, you tried so hard for the win, in fact 110% doesnt even get near....

Hope you heal ok, thats the last I'll see of you if your doing the Gucci class... and we was having so much fun passing each other, your a real racer mate..

Andy

Not met you yet Chris,

But was real pleased when I heard you were a bit goggle eyed, but ultimately ok.

To be honest, I was having a real hard time holding Ali Bisson off to claim my first top 5 finish (had to prove Nick B wrong! ) so when you got it red flagged, you did me a massive favour.

Come and say hi at Cadwell, I owe you a beer.

Cheers,

Tim

No wonder I hurt.


How do I get this rubber off my leathers, Micron and seat unit? I've been soiled.

I've got to say when you came past in the bloody ambulance after the race ended was the worst feeling for me. The thought that the guy that had made Cadwell such a top weekend for me could be badly hurt really shook me up.
Far more than the collision, leg riding or unbelievable speed on grass.
I looked back to see what had happened to you but I was up at the start line on the grass by then and couldn't see back that far.

As soon as I saw you in the garage looking as well as could be expected after what must have been a massive off. I started to feel like I had to get back out and ride all the emotions out. Still couldn't get any faster round that Coram though probably only doing 30 or 40 I recon

I think you will be one hell of a force on that 620 Cris, good luck with it.

So pleased we are typing this mate, now about this Cadwell I dive for the apex at charlies Two slowly, got it. Rattler on the other hand, go's real wide
