sponsor let you down?

Do we have to prepare for Brands? I was thinking of wiping the oil off my cam covers, but I'm really not sure I can find the energy.... (or a clean rag).

Rumour has it that removing the lubricating sludge from the crankcases might help, but it means getting the bike off the trailer, and we all know that's never going to happen....

He wasn't in when I went to see him so I bought some, the fridge was empty!

But I'll be back to see him on Sat

He doesn't have his stickers done yet I don't think. So it might not happen until next year, if there is a next year.

cant you just say you're racing every week and pick up your beer.

You may jest, but she really is rough as the proverbial badger's tush....

Both of the spark plugs have fallen out, one of the wheels has fallen off (front, I think), the brakes have left the building, the bodywork is deeply distressed, the rear shock is mis-sprung, mis-set, mis-understood, and mis-sing....

All in all I'm considering dropping the 675 and entering on a rollerblade.....
