Paging Eddie

Where and when tomorrow? Washington Services 7:15 ish?

 

7:15?! That's about the time I was thinking of leaving my house.

Mind, I haven't looked at the instructions to see what time we're meant
to be there, yet - have you?

 

Yep. Signing on is 8:00 to 8:45, briefing at 9:00. I reckon 45 mins
from Washington, plus a few minutes fuel stop in Darlington. 7:30
then?

 

OK, I should be able to manage that. In the main car park for the services?

 

Yep - not the petrol station.

 

I give up. Where are you going ? (Apart from Washington Services)

 

YTC#1 says...

At a guess I'd say Croft circuit for a trackday.

 

Track day at Croft.

 

I'll wave as I go by in the north bound queue then ;-)

 

Fine!

 

An excellent track day. Discovered 020s may last for thousands of
miles but they don't half cut up when abused. Didn't see a lot of
Eddie as he kept buggering off into the distance. You could tell he
was trying - when we topped up again on the way home he'd used UKP16
or so's worth of petrol to my UKP12 or so.

So when are you and Jean going to come over and do one?

 

He was on a Bindit wasn't he ? They always use more

When she finally gets a Ducati ?

 

No, he's got a clit bike now - Ninja 9.

LIke a 750?

 

Bear says...

The 9R is more of a clit bike now than it ever was, what with the amount
of gurlies buying them. Clitty-chick-wheels?

 

Bear says...

It looks like that weight I needed to lose will be disappearing soon.

 

nah. twas decreed at the Rock n Blues. 9Rs are officially girls bikes.
I know more girlies with them than blokes.

Absolutely. Even the weather mostly behaved itself.

"The bike made me do it."

I did do 6 sessions, compared to your 5, though.

It was 18.12 litres, and ~120 miles (including getting to and from the
track): ~30mpg - not so bad, considering what I was doing with the
throttle most of the time.

 

It's a very consistent bike. Although timing was not allowed I could
tell on that last section that, without timing you over three laps,
you were within a second of the same time each lap (1:53).

 

.... which almost sounds impressive, until you find out that the lap
record is 1:21.245, which must be completely mental.

 

That may be sooner than you think

But I can't see her taking one round the track.
