I'm bringing my camera, and my brothers supposed to be popping over on Saturday to get some shots.

I'll be loading the bikes this afternoon and over to the track this evening. Anyone need anything bringing across?, we'll be in the van. I'm bring tools, kettle, etc

It's 12.50am, I've been driving for over 4 hours, I'm knack erred, I ache and I really need a bath, or preferably an acid dip, but all I can say is what another awesome weekend I've just had. :-)

Roll on next year.

Despite all the mechanical problems which plagued the two days, I still had a brilliant time. It was really nice to finally meet everybody. We should definitely try to organise another get together in the near future.

:rocks:

Well - what a weekend.
I can certainly say i had a fantastic time, and it truly was only made better with everyone here meeting up and having such a laugh together.
The time on track was brilliant, i felt i was getting quicker and quicker each time - until the end when i felt i was pushing the little bike too hard and with laptimes of around 2.11 (i think that was it wasnt it Jim ? when not held up by other bikes?) was pretty decent for what is essentially a 250 trail bike.
The time off track with you all was great, we all had fun and looked after each other and mucked in.

I am looking forward to seeing the photo's if anyone managed to get any. If anyone wants to post me a CD of any images to host and publish - PM me for an address.

Thanks again to all of you who came over to just say hello, and everyone in our group. it was a highlight of the year without question.

EDIT - and just a couple of moments to remember for me personally.

Tony - and his fuel coupling. and "can you find that circlip" and not to mention the padlock !
Simon - how fast can you eat a pizza ?
Mike - handstand on a skateboard down the track.
All - holding down the gazebo to stop it being blown away in the mini tornado and torrents of rain that came from no where.

Yes, consistent 2:11's despite being held up by those 400. ;)

Some great moments, almost too many to mention.

Next time I'll make sure I bring a bike that's running, or at least a spare bike as back up. I still think us all going out on old 125s would be a brilliant idea...

Either, Andy's got really long arms, or ........




I know they said 'If your not pissin' your not drinking enough but, really!!! Maybe he was topping up the fluids on the bike?

Disclaimer - he was just about to get on the bike, not a strange pre-track ritual


edit - Just wanted to add, great weekend and good to catch up with other members.
