I want to do it, really got the itch for it as i'm having loads of fun the past few days on the bike, but don't think my broken ribs will take being stuffed in leathers for the day :( so i'm going to take pictures instead. Let my rib heal properly and then do it another day :)

Samnooshka's hoping to head down in the afternoon after work with her camera, so hopefully she should be able to grab a couple of shots
OK, who is actually going to this then? Me and in_your_way_racing so far. Blue? Weazlez? are we going to get the fun of watching you both hassling R1's etc??
I'm not even mentioning the weather ;)

You winding him up! cos it's not stock, but a rather nice laser twin pipe.
Guess it's just an end can tho'
Glad you had fun James!
Funnily enough that is the stock exhaust, I changed it back, because after running a sound meter on it at work, it was hitting 109db :D :D
It'll be swapped back to the laser at the weekend :)

Best is to host them at photobucket or smugmug or something and then put the img code in your post.

Looks like it was a nice day out. If you got some pics of the Tuono's in the evening let me know Julian as I know a couple of lads that attended and I can pass on your details.

Wow, how did you recgnise it was an SV straight off (yes I can see it now that you mention it) And what's wrong with it?

What do you think of this guy's positioning? The right way to get your knee down or a horrible contorted effort doing way more harm than good?

There were 3 of them, 2 curvies and a pointy, all naked, all with "interesting" colour schemes. i have a feeling they are Mini Twins guys, but I didn't get a chance to speak to them....

Because I am an SV anorak, aren’t you?!!?? ;) … there is nothing wrong with it really, but I think they look silly with just a bikini fairing on then!! :P
As for that dudes style, looks reminiscent of John Reynolds type style to me (think it is JR who’s head stays central and pivots body), it is far from unorthodox pro-racer wise anyway … :smt045
....
There is a race CB500 too, which club is racing Brands this weekend? :confused:

Um, unless their running some pretty hefty disguises I don't think those boys will be running with the WSB bunch :D :D Must be for the weekend after I guess.

In advance i'm crap at all things to do with compooters...
so can I e-mail any volunteers a pic of me on the bike so they can post the damn thing?
:smt013 :smt013
BTW there was a massive crash on the main str8. A guy on a cresent suzuki had a massive tank slapper, jumped off (litterally) bike torpedoed into pit wall at about 100mph.!!
Frame was broke in 3 places, someone actully caught on cam and will be putting it on utube.
The guy was ok, and in fact gave an interview to accompany the vdeo footage!!

Yup, had a look at the remains of the bike as they'd dragged it into the garage next to me. A BIG mess, I don't think there was much worth salvaging. Both wheels broken, forks bent, tank and all body work destroyed and the engine was leaking fluids from all over the place. Guy was laughing about it though, and he wasn't hurt.

That's a really nicely presented bike :smt045 ... is that a GIXER 1000K5/K6 fairing?
What's that by the rear sprocket? (metal 3 holes) Is it crash protection?
(forgive all the newbie qu's :roll:)

chain fin. helps stop your foot getting caught in the chain & sprocket int he event of a crash. because of the direction of rotation it will tend to drag an errant foot in

not good enough, got enough dough/time.
I was going to, done the ctc thing at rugby, but it took too long to prep the bike. By the time i contacted Bemse i was told they had enough novices!
Blessing in desguise.
Initial thought was why is there smoke billowing from the building...:cyclopsani:

Imagine that ... a 46s lap on a SV650!!! 8) .... I can see the only way that could be done is to pass the timing gate, pull in at the end of pit lane, go back up pit lane, then come back out the pit lane at the top and down the straight and pass the timer again ... to be honest it might even be difficult to do all that in 46 seconds!! :D
Or perhaps at the end of the pit wall, stop, cut across and re-join on the backstraight just after Graham Hill bend!?!?! :D
