Had a great weekend and was nice to catch up with you all again.
As already been mentioned was mega hot on Saturday and was greatful of the slightly cooler weather on Sunday.
As for the guy on the Orange bike I have to say he was kind to me with his overtakes but I do understand he was abit rough on others.
One of the Highlights though for me was the potato cannon!

He clipped me last year on a pass and this year dived me up the inside line and sat me up - i just missed the grass but it sure shit me up. I saw him do similar to someone else the next session.
on the sunday he passed again and gave loads of room.
Thing is i appreciate some are more competitive that others, this guy clearly was a racer - the bike was a track bike, so why come and do this event unless you are clearly glory hunting by being the fastest of the slower riders who actually give a shit about their bikes.
He had a 400greybike sticker on the bike too - Baz if you are reading this - take note and stick to racing or show some respect to slower riders.

A few pictures.
Sorry if a little fuzzy but very difficult to take pictures of moving bikes with a nokia wp8.
I will try to load a few more as and when photobucket is playing game.
Great weekend, always a pleasure to meet the lads and chat bikes.
It was nice to have time to wonder the pit and talk to other people that you wouldn't normally speak to,
the NS500R was pretty trick along with the guy rebuilding old gixers and katanas.
There was a pretty trick MZ knocking about, think it was ridden by Guy Martin or a similar sounding name.

I heard loads of sightings of Guy Martin! Did anyone get him to sign anything?

As usual it was great to catch up with you all and ride our bikes round the track for two days. It is undoubtedly the biking highlight of the year and it really can't be stressed enough that if you love riding your 400 quick and want to do it in a safe environment then you really can't go far wrong with coming along next year.
I'm already looking forward to Snetterton in October and will definetly be riding on the Friday, not sure about the other split session on the Sat and Sunday yet.

*Yes heard he was there over the weekend. Think I even caught a glimpse of him as I looked in the mirror whilst washing my hands in the gents!
*Think he was there for a lucozade photo shoot but had to leave early due to not being able to feel his hands and feet after riding the vibrating MZ!
(* all lies but the people who were there will understand!)

Top weekend, totally knackered, great to catch up with everyone and meet a few new.
Uploaded my onboard videos today, at my channel:
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCfX6K- ... wBbPY0nMOw
Check out GoPro38 which has a couple of WTF moments
@09:00 Drunkn Munky tries to line up an overtake up the mountain but bizarrely gets shunted off to the pits by a numpty manoeuvre and I nearly collect the pair of them!
@15:40 I get forced off the racing line by a 2 bike affair - white bike stuffing it up the inside then out-braking himself at the hairpin, plus a block pass by the orange bike

Nice to capture it on video to show that we weren't making it up. Thanks a bunch chaps.
We do have some other photos & short trackside videos which are worthy to share if we can work out how to get them off the Sony phone...
