Ah thats good, phew!!

I cleaned mine today, had to scrape most of them off with my nails. Never ridden with so many bugs before.... even my brand new boots are covered in flies

I did 126miles on the track yesterday, went there with a full tank, put 10l in throughout the day, now upto 160miles and still not into reserve. Not to bad for a fuel guzzling SP1.

JULIAN did you just say with practice you could go quicker ??

I know thats what works in theory but mate i reckon you were the quickest out of us on the day by far, so you deffo be needing to move up to fast next time matey

For all you peeps who are interested in the our day, heres a tale of the Ginger Ninja on a Blue CBR wearing Sunglasses flying lap.

Your out buzzing around the circuit, well flying really to the best of your abillity and then it happens. This BLUE blur dives up the inside of you and 10 others. Doing an out braking move that looks like a DO or DARE move and holly crap hes dead. But some how still makes the corner and the exit and disapears in to the distance

This happens every session and its the talk of talk when we get back into the pits.

Ok he does it to me one tooo many times so i thought i'm coming after you sunshine.

START/FINISH- straight he is a 3rd of the straight ahead of me.

REDGATE- I gained a tad on him, trying to avoid the sparks coming off his pegs.

CRANER CURVES- I'm pretty much up with him now.

OLD HAIRPIN- I'm looking for the spot, an opening.

STARKEY- I'm there, going to dive inside outside, got the run on him.

BUT then you get upto (is it COPPICE the 3 rights on the bounce before the DUNLOP BRIDGE?) and he starts pulling away again.

START/FINISH straight and he is a 3rd of the straight ahead once again.

This happened lap after lap for me and he didn't have a clue i was there. "I would of gone quicker if i knew he says"

I was deffo over riding though and was loosing it everywhere.

To give you a clue on how quick Julian can be not just on the brakes but when i was travelling around those RIGHTS before DUNLOP BRIDGE straight. He goes around the outside of you on the gas with sparks bellowing off his pegs.

Man the guy is BRAVE as

You and Simon's mate Scott deffo need to be in the advance group at the next Pembrey trackday. I'm staying where i at least feel i can cope in the Inters.

Fairplay to you mate.

Gav i need some advive on Smoothness. I've watched you many times and your mega smooth, i reckon this is my downfall and this is the key to a quicker lap for me


SORRY ABOUT THE ESSAY FOLKS. TOOOO MUCH RED WINE AND WHERES THE EDIT BUTTON GONE ??

Heres a video, only a few laps: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mXZ498DdK3w&fmt=18

The person you see overtaking is our very own Blimey, I let him through just so I could film him (Just like I let everyone through, if I added all the times I 'let people through' I could build them a whole lap with video editing)

Heres proof that Mark is better than Julian on the brakes http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KJwSjZeJrQU&fmt=18

Bear in mind that's the end of the 2nd lap and personally I think tyre warmers are for cheaters.

good stuff gav

I will have to let you have my dvd from on the bike their is a part where Blimey, deej & julian dive down my left hand side into redgate.
Trouble is its 18 minutes long & not got a clue how to edit it

No problems, I'm sure I can sort it. Just uploading the video of me following you, it will be a little while though. I'll let you have the better quality versions and all the pics on CD when I see ya next.

It was great day and it was fun taking pictures you can get quite close to the track which is really good

Next time I wont be taking pictures I will be on the track

HA HA HA

From where i was Julian had flew past loads of us just as he was just about to past you GAV.

I was thinking ok theres alot of people there i will back off early get a good run on them down the start finish straight, but then that BLUE BLUR went past and i thought no way i ain't havin this.

So i took off the brakes and pinned the throttle and took the lot of them

But what makes me laugh looking at that is JULIAN puts his hand up as to say look at this idiot

Cheeky git when that was what he had been doing all day.

I thought he was waving him on knowing he would get him again next time around

Cheers matey your a star

Just noticed i havn't mentioned COLIN

Ok we have tyre warmers, thanks to him and Dave. A bit strange at first, do i, don't i sort of thing.

Colins been here before i will follow his lines for a couple sessions. Don't run before you can walk sort of thing.

Out the pits, REDGATE, COLIN gone Heeeellllllloooooooooo COLIN where you to.

Every session this was.

One session we came out of the PITS then REDGATE and as i was just starting down hill for CRANER his was over taking 2 bikes into the OLD HAIR PIN

NUTTER

Heres me following Colin http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z993l2nx7rI&fmt=18 until Mr VFR800 took my liking then I went after him.

The bullet cam is fish eyed so things do look alot further away than they actually are, somewhere in there you see a ZX6R do a Julian style overtake (tm), in the video it looks quite far away but I was about 1 foot away from clipping his back tyre.

The blur you see is Blimey then Deej & eventually Julian going past









Sorry if this does'nt work but there is no EDIT button
