All

So here I am, planning my track day at Snetterton (second one ever) and it is raining; not much you would say but enough to leave the track wet and slippery. To the point, that at the end of the straight at 120mph or so, I do not know if it was aqua-planning or the front brake just blocked but the front went and me too, sliding on the road for metres and the bike sliding too. :hissy:

Well, picked by the recovery track and thankfully with just minor bruises, I made it back to the pit to only see that the steering was broken as well as the brake lever. The bike was my way back so I wondered how I would make it back to London.

There it was when different people came to help and in particular a young gentleman who helped me to understand what I had to fix; after talking a bit he asked me if I was memeber of any Duc forum and I mentioned this one, and he revealed himself as Jonzi.

Well, thanks to him I managed to get my bike back on its wheels and later on safe home. I did not manage to say goodbye when I left, so here it is more an "au revoir" and many thanks to Jonzi for your time and support. :ukm:

Blimey with all his recent good deeds all we need is a couple of miracles and he'll be canonised.

Staying upright at his next DD meeting must surely count as 1. You can do it Jonzi :)

He's getting a bit of a reputation as an all round nice guy recently. Maybe its all a publicity stunt and he's running for mayor? :)

Nice one Jonzi :thumbsup: Random acts of kindness were also on show at the "ton up day" at Brooklands - I love biking :-)

I saw you riding around the paddock for a bit after then I couldn't find you. So I figured you had left.

Glad you made it home alright.

I am back at Snetterton near the end of July for a race, so it might well be me next time

I'm wondering if modama is actually an alias for Black Bob
