how long did they follow you for Kev? I did a Track Day at Castle Combe with the Rizla Suzuki team a few years back with John Reynolds, Shakey, Steve Plater and James Hayden. They followed me around,,,, for 1 corner, then a couple of laps later another corner, and so on.

I then had a pillion ride with JR and I think he went faster with me on the back than I could go on my SP2.

Quite a while ago now but it was 3 or 4 laps, I was expecting to get a lecture afterwards, but maybe having a Novice Vest on spared me that.

I don't like football, I really can't stand the noise of 1000's of neanderthals shouting at a bunch of ponces skipping around on the grass

would I buy a house next door to old trafford?

Why are bikers, and motor-sport enthusiasts discriminated against, it seems that in this country we like to applaud the success of top level motorsports men/women but on the way up your treated as scum.

as soon as you mention motorbike people think of asbo
