[plowsie]

:smt026 Just called in sick, gonna come and watch for a bit longer than expected :D

[plowsie]

Got home about hour and a half ago. Everyone seemed to have a good day, met old boy racer 1 and 2 :-o :lol:

Nice to meet Blue, Weazelz and the other chap i dont think that is registered on here.

[weazelz]

good to meet you plowsie :)

was a good day out, a bit chilly but DRY, which is the most important thing really. I did the morning in inter's & then moved up to fast for the afternoon. knocked 8s off my lap time compared to last year which I was quite chuffed with, in spite of the tyres never really getting up to full temperature because of the cold

not bad for november :D

Indeed, a good day, was good to get back on the track again after a bit of a lay-off :thumright: Good to meet everyone too 8)

Did you find you went faster when you got into the Fast group weazelz? You said you were being held up a bit in inters 8)

There appears to be 3 version of 'boy racer' ... one .. er ... was a gurl!! :D

Just cutting some vids ... I got that titanic SV-v-GIXER thou battle ... its 8 mins long and a corker 8)

[plowsie]

Lol Titanic battle!

Did you find up what was playing up with cam on the last blast on the mille? Loose connection?

[Blue_SV650S]

I know you had a preview ... but ... you wait till you watch it, I am quite proud!! ... we were being a bit rude at times with the other riders mind!! ... my bad!! :smt044

As for the Mille footage, yeah, bearing in mind it worked fine when I transferred it to the SV, yep, musta been a loose connection ... shame as that was a good bit of footage at that point ... :smt022

Still got some footage from the session before - that will do :thumright:

[weazelz]
