![]() Are you still on a novice licence? If so, all you need for a signature is a finish in any race that day. Position and time aren't relevant. Wish it was that easy on a clubman licence - the bloke... |

![]() Ah. I'm not on a twin, I'm running an R6 in the pre-injection 700 class. But yeah, I love the wet - everyone else slows down much more than I do, so I get my best results. Should be at Combe both... |

![]() Only just seen this. Yeah, I was at Oulton, had a cracking day. Beat my best time from last year in practice, took a full ten seconds off my practice time (!) in the qualifier, and then the heavens... |

![]() I'll be #49 - just updated my avatar to a snap from Cadwell, so the bike should look like that unless I bin it (again) at Oulton. |

![]() Nah, pre-injection R6. You can get sigs any time, just pop down to the race office with old result sheets. You can even post the results off to the ACU without sigs on the card if need be, so long... |

![]() Riding on full wets for the first time is a quasi-religious experience. I used to be wary of riding on a wet track, and now I actually look forward to it raining. Just about the best fun I've had on... |

![]() Not as such. They normally run two Newcomer races, one with two classes (under 500c, and Minitwins) and one Open for everyone else. Sometimes, as on Saturday, they run a single race with all three... |

![]() I was down on power compared to bigger and newer bikes. In my own class (pre-injection 700) I was fine on that front. We share a grid with the 1300 class, hence all the R1s, but I'm not actually... |

![]() You're not numpties. You're just a bit odd. Spending two days at a circuit and neither racing nor drinking all day. That's just weird. Still, glad you do it, otherwise we wouldn't be able to. |
