last year I went round Shaws Corner and ran out of ability I actually left the
circuit via the car park gate.
Luckily the marshall could see I was a f**k wit and just side stepped
to let me past.
This year I have a new bike but still f' all ability so look out for more of
the same :confused:

I'll be riding again as will James from Dawlish (both on S4's). Got my noisey cans this year, so at least I'll 'sound' faster :lol:.
Provisionally planning to travel up the day before, and travel back the day after, so will be hoping to meet up with a few peeps on the Wednesday and Thursday evenings.....

I'm riding again :D Looking forward to more blue edged tyres, though this time they'll be half decent and not 7000+ mile old boot leather :lol: . Should have a non slipping clutch too, be nice not to have the engine wizz away over every bump, woo!! Sign me up for the yellow group :burnout:

Wish I was going this year, cos last year it was "the dogs" but I'm all paid up to go to the Isle of Man and would lose too much money if I cancelled.
Last year, I.O.M followed by the track day, couldn't get any better !!!

"BOWLOX" :mad: :mad: :mad: :( :( :(

Well I did Mallory yesterday for the first time on my M900, still grinning insanely, I had SOOOO much fun!
I can report that the 900 monster is pretty competitive, lots of Jap sports 600s out plus a TLthou and a Falco, and even a new Gixxer Thou (novice group though) and NOTHING passed me in 3 20 minute sessions :p I absolutely loved it! Held the Gixxer 6's and ZX6Rs I was racing down the start finish straight (just about), to around 120mph, scrub off a bit and round Gerrards at a steady 90, scraped my cans, brake pedal and footpeg out of Edwinas on a regular basis, lifted the front wheel off the throttle between the hairpin and bus stop with a quick hard squirt in first :p I just loved every minute of it!!! Consistant 1.07 lap times, I was well pleased with myself!
Roll on June . . .

Don't worry, there will be quite a few of us first-timers there! :D I don't ride fast at the best of times, so I'll be taking it easy too.
