I was meaning to see when you were next doing one and consider coming to play, but that's right out for me even if there were spaces unfortunately.

I would hope so Smile - but I am really rather out of practice - last time I rode a bike on the road was the KTM when it was still yours and not much before that in the last year!

I'm going to be zooming around tomorrow Smile

I hope the 11th is dry for you, it's not looking good ATM Sad

I'm in inters tomorrow. Novice is just crazy slow like slower than people on ride outs on the road. Hence novice yes so it's good for them, but if you're a capable rider you'll be wanting to go into inters as you get held up a lot in novice.

There's more grip than you think.

Seriously, go elbow down on the sighting lap.

Paddy was going at a good pace in the damp conditions with the fitted wet tyres up to temperature.Unfortunately he binned it as he approached the left hander at the end of the bottom straight.He slid for quite a way before coming to a halt on the slip road,the SV coming to a halt on the grass.

The last I saw of him he was being loaded into the back of the St.Johns ambulance with his crash helmet still in place.

Not sure how he is.After helping to load up the 675 and the damaged SV into the van I left his Dad to walk along to the medical centre.

Can probably sort something out if need be, one way or another.

I had to wait all day for recovery, and the van arrived 10 minutes after your crash.

When I saw the guys attending you, I told my self: " stop complaining , it could be worse, I could be that one Wink"
Glad that you are ok, it's never nice to see the ambulance on the track.

My shoulder is a little sore, but other than that, I'm fine, something I can't say about my poor baby.
I guess crashing is all part of the job (but definitely not part of the fun)
