[Rattler]

I too enjoyed the day greatly, but I'm absolutely knackered!!!!

A cheeky curry in Eltham last night with Dibbs, Jon, Steve and a guest appearance by Chi meant that a late night / early start did not prepare me well for a day of thrashing the nuts off my poor Monnie to try to keep up with the "bigger boys"

I did get some quick laps in though, only because I blagged a couple of rides on a very, very trick 749R - many thanks Butch and on a very well sorted CBR600RR - many thanks Jon.

Both these bikes need to be worked, but when you get them up into the top of the rev range - fcuk me - they are extremely rapid and handle sublimely.

Now if I can only get my Monnie to turn half as quick as the 600RR and feel any where near as stable and planted as the 749R I'd be a very happy boy.

It was great to catch up with DSC'ers old and new and many, many thanks to Monty et al for "keeping the faith" and making TA5 a reality.

Here's to the TA6 - Jerez 2006 (now that's a good idea!!!! )
