| Registered Forum User Big Twin Bikes: Monster 620ie, 916Bip, Suzuki Gs500 And a Ridgeback but I have to pedal that one  Posts: 1,000 Join Date: Aug 2008 Location: Maidstone Mood: Scared! Coming second. As most of you heard, I came second (again) in Qualy and in both races. I don't mind coming second, but I would have liked to be able to see the bloke in front, No! not because I like the view of Niels arse  but because I'd like to be closer than 18 seconds behind!Now this thread is the best place and time for all the Awesome abuse that I'm sure to attract. Maybe a bit of preparation and hard work before Mallory park could help me to catch up. I have lots to do, As Neil said, it's not all about power! but having 5bhp more will help at Mallory . . . .

Oh! I've got faith Dude! - I'm Awesome don't you know! It would be great to have a good race instead of miles of space in front and behind. Bring on Mallory! | ||

What happend was that I got the best start and made it to turn 1 first, THIS HAS NEVER HAPPEND TO ME BEFORE, It completely through me and I didn't know what the hell was going on then I went into druids way to slow and didn't get a good drive out either then Niel Dived up the inside at Graham hill bend giving me a bit of a fright, (I've never been overtaken before), and I went wide and slow into Graham hill bend as well, then as always happens when you cock up a corner you cock up the next one as well. In the time i was poncing about Neil had pulled quite a gap alwready, So, I could still see him and set about trying to catch up, which in 1 or 2 laps I had, I caught up just as we got to druids and I tried to round it a bit quicker than him to get the advantage on the drive dowm the hill........ thats where it went wrong. I ran too wide on the exit and took to the kirbs then the rubber stuff then the grass, then I tried to rejoin the track but there was such a big bump I lost control again and went off the other side at Graham hill bend by the time I rejoined the track I was at the pit lane entrance half way along the cooper straight and in 5th or 6th place! | ||

After that though, you best start actually being awesome or I'll have to be lining up on the grid to make things a bit more interesting. Boring DD races are against Timmmy law!  Have more faith in yourself. Neil's a great rider. Fast off the start and consistent too. There's nothing wrong with your ability though and I've seen you do things I thought were impossible. Don't make the mistake of writing yourself off before you start. Less yap,less gap. Wise words from a has been | |
