Nice write up, I find it interesting that a mate was putting up similar laptimes in the 1980s on RD350LCs, CB900s and a GPz900r.
The main difference is that he was filling a trophy cabinet with those times!

Good luck!

Crazy how times rock on. Wouldn't mind a trophy or two, but, I have a lot to learn yet.



And the race is on tonight if anyone fancies a watch, 21:35 on motors TV

Sky+ is on it, I look forward to seeing how it goes either later today or tomorrow.

I notice you have a Gixxer K8... styling wise definitely my favourite year, I'd love one in classic red/blue/white fairing.

It was weird seeing the race, but I was on there a few times, not a great deal as I didn't win, but none-the-less Red Devil(on this forum and my race buddy) was on there quite a few times, he was bike #92

Watched it, pretty full grid, were there any non qualifiers? How far off the leaders pace were you, the front runners looked quick.

The grid was full(so 38 riders), there were 6 non-qualifiers and they ran in a race with the Golden Era 1000cc.

I was running 52s laps, the leaders 50s laps, so a bit of work to do.

Did you see the massive crash in the 2nd race at clark curve?

Yes, the leader highsided and 2nd hit him. Easy done when you're pushing hard trying to get the last bit out of it.
You going to Cadwell for the round there? Was my favourite track.

Yeah I have 2 rounds there this season, 30th May and 17th October for the Finale.

When did you race and what did you race?

Raced proddy bikes (yamaha 250) when I was a kid then got back into it in 1998 I think. First meeting back I won 400 class on a YPVS in the wet at Mallory. Always had a YPVS to race in different classes and also TZ250 V twin GP bike. Even passengered on a F1 sidecar and drove one for a year, give me a solo any day!
Won some races, couple of championships. Packed it in in 2006 due to injury, wouldn't change things though and still miss it.

Wow, that brief history sounds awesome, sounds like you had loads of fun.

The sidecars, I always thought being passenger on them would take some balls, seen them race at Brands many times, and it always provides excellent entertainment
