Anyone doing Snetterton today from near my neck of the woods?
I went for an hour or two. now back to watch the football. <touches wood> they were running well, 15th overall and 2nd in class after two hours. -- Adie (replace spam with nickname to reply) UKRM FAQ: http://www.ukrm.net/faq/ Triumph 955iSS / GSF1200 bandit / CG125 MRO#11 BOTAFOF#7 BOTAFOT#130 DIAABTCOD#17 MIB#24 YTC#16 BOB#15 ex-UKRMMA#22 BOMB#11
I was stuck at home until 1pm hoping desperately for a confirmation email to arrive (it did, so i definitely won't be doing the snet 24hr race.) Then cleaned the bike (absolutely filthy after the Cornwall run, dust several mil thick on the wheel rims) and went for a spin. Amazing what a difference a well adjusted chain makes. <john thompson> nice </jt>
They'd dropped to about 18th, and 3rd in class at 4 hours, but I left soon after that. All of the time was lost in the pits due to a slow stop when the chain had to be sorted to stop it jumping on the sprocket.
Kiran wrote They had finished when I left. They got into the points about an hour from the end only to have it cruelly snatched away by thoughtless faster riders overtaking them, in the last 15 laps. Quite a gripping finish as it goes.
Using the patented Mavis Beacon "Hunt&Peck" Technique, steve auvache It was that. I won't steal the riders' thunder too much, but I will say that our departure from the circuit was slightly delayed by the need to attend the trophy presentation... <Great Big Shit Eating Grin> I am *fucked*, Christ knows what the rider-types must be feeling like. Couple of pints, bath and bed for me, I think. *Top* weekend, thanks everyone! -- Wicked Uncle Nigel - Manufacturer of the "Champion-105" range of rearsets WS* GHPOTHUF#24 APOSTLE#14 DLC#1 COFF#20 BOTAFOT#150 HYPO#0(KoTL) IbW#41 ZZR1100, Enfield 500 Curry House Racer "The Basmati Rice Burner", Honda GL1000K2 (On its hols) Kawasaki ZN1300 Voyager "Oh, Oh, It's so big"

<oft quoted story> One of my all time favourite Shobba cartoons features a woman sat on the sofa talking on the phone, while her fella is passed out on the carpet in front of her, surrounded by empty beer cans and with the contents of a tin of beans up-ended over his face. Her speech bubble says "Well, when he says he's in training for the Bol D'Or, it's not quite as impressive as it sounds".

I have a copy of AWOL around with a centre spread of the Bulldog Bash with the centre shot being a picture of me, flat on my back asleep, with my head in Jane's lap and a tin of beer balanced on my middle. I got a T shirt for that.
That was an Alien Kev picture. -- | ___ Salad Dodger |/ \ _/_____\_ GL1500SEV/CBR1100XXX/KH500A8/TS250C |_\_____/_| ..73850../..18203.../..3184./.19406 (>|_|_|<) TPPFATUICG#7 DIAABTCOD#9 YTC#4 PM#5 |__|_|__| BOTAFOT #70 BOTAFOF #09 two#11 WG* \ |^| / IbW#0 & KotIbW# BotTOS#6 GP#4 \|^|/ ANORAK#17 IbB#4 '^' RBR Landmarks: 5 Pts: 90 Miles: 455
