Ah well, so much for Blighty then.

Hmm, I've seen that end in tears many a time.

Put Out The Lights On The Age Of Reason

 

basically if the worst happens next Monday, and I get a ban, I'll be
flogging my road bikes and buying some track bikes - I want something
like the ZX7R that Champ's flogging, but I've always quite fancied an
RGV too.

I'll let you know at some point - presumably you're leaving the thing
in Aylesbury for the time being?

 

Definitely agree about the greasy one. The further in advance you book, the
cheaper it gets. But if you leave it to say, a week before travelling, the
price goes up big time. Last week's flight would have cost me twice as much
with the orange mob.

Personally, I never know what I'm doing that far in advance. Normally book
about a week up front.

Well, if I did a trackday tomorrow it'd be on my road bike.

 

I think that what Paul was implying was that even if you're doing a
track day on your road bike, it's best not to ride it to and from the
track.

 

Yup. I'm leaving tomorrow, but the wife will be here for a couple more
weeks. She knows how to open the garage door.

Dunno yet. Not this time though. The wife's going to spend a few months
there with me and see if she likes it (Spain, not me). If not, we forget
the idea, rent the spanish house out and get a job on a building site in
England. Had enough of IT.

I know, but I don't see it as a huge addition to the risk of going round
a track. It's not like doing 1500+ miles in a day or anything.

And if you crash on a track you sort out recovery, again no huge
problem.

 

I've got one, but can never have enough spares.....

 

*thud*

 

*wince*
so true

 

Well to Belfast International Airport, yes. Nowherefuckingnear Belfast
though.

<> bored us all completely to death with wittery
prose along the lines of:

Que tengas suerte, que todo te vaya bien en España!

Mandame un email cuando puedas, amigo.

I thought about x-posting this to es.charla.moteros, as it's been a
while since we've had an 'invasion' to a non-English NG. Then I
thought better of it

 

Dang, I didn't realise it was so close. Could have dropped by easily.
BTW the entire coastline between Malaga and Estepona appears to have been
turned into a little corner of hell.

 

Can't imagine why...

Of course the beer......

Well take care & you know ukrm reaches that far.... )

 

Well yes, but not all of us can afford the track bike, trailer, car(!)
etc...

When I binned the SV at Rockingham and snapped off the front brake lever I
must say I did have a bit of a "hmm" moment.
Handily some bloke gave me the one from his wife's (the shame) SV as she
wasn't riding it home...

 

it's closer to Belfast than "London Luton" and "London Stanstead" are
to London.

 

I'd wondered about that until my mate splattered his Blackbird at Kyalami;
he called one of the vultures[1] and that was that, some bucks later he was
recovered to home. Cost a few bob-shillings more to patch up the bike mind.

[1] Freelance roadside recovery dudes that hang around in very odd looking
recovery vehicles in South Africa, the term 'vulture' is not an affectionate
one.
