Talking Hgh Praise to Johnny

Thanx Johnny for giving us the chance to do this. Your a star mate. Just listening to your advice helped me a lot. Much safer and more confident which is oh so good. Tyres looking well used for me. Apparently coming out of the bust stop I even was leaving darkeys which a guy was following my line. Oh I was in novice too.That was reasonably fast.

It was so great to see Stalker just ride like that. Fantastic day especially as I had intended just to watch 1 month ago.

Well done Johnny and to your No Limits Guys and Gals.

Andy

"He came down very early for the fast group and sat waiting for the novice group to clear the track as the rest of the fast group formed up behind him, most of them totally unaware that the guy at the front of the line was a world class rider and British racing icon."

Actually, not all of them.

A few of us followed him down thinking 'great, we might get to see him disappear round Gerards' then instructors - masses of them - appeared from out of the darkest depths of the tin sheds and filled up the first group let out of pitlane.

Bunch of big kids, really

Was great to see him wandering around chatting to people, top bloke.

Massive thanks to the whole No Limits crew.

Yet another slickly run trackday, friendly staff, helpfull instructors, lots of tracktime, minimum fuss.

'masses of instructors....' tee hee, only three of us went out in that session but big Ewan at 20 stone plus maybe made it look like there were more and as we only normally let 8 go at a time, with Chris, that left just 4 Monsters! It was funny though, have to admit and I did actually ask the No Limits person on the gate not to let loads out in the same group as Chris as I was concerned that we only had one faller all day and I didn't want a dozen people trying to keep up with him. I suspect most, if not all, of the group would have seen him come past them as they got 'lapped'. I, of course, had to be far more responsible being a No Limits instructor, I politely backed off and didn't go through the traffic as quickly, (yer right!)

What exciting stuff. Glad you had such a good time. Will definitely want to be on this next year, as long as it doesn't come so close to RTL, that is.

Sounds like everybody had a good time, I was going to come and watch as I had a days leave booked for that day, but ended up having to work, next day I picked myself up a 600 Monster just a few days to late to book in and ensure the time off wofk.
Maybe next year as WJB always makes it sound like a top day at the track
