Remember sitting on the start line on Isle of Man thinking how lucky I was to be sat where so many greats had sat before.

Best of luck Monday,ride safe & enjoy
Cheers Stuart

Just really focus on the start lights (or flag) ...nothing else matters.

Thanks for all the suggestions, I've written them all on a list and stuck it to the speedo.
I hope the lights take long enough to let me contemplate them all!

Now, where's the Dio-calms.....

Hey, good going. At least you stacked it on the last race, not the first. A sore head will soon clear, the bike will need a bit of help. Made a list of what you need yet?

Nice one! At least you've got the balls to go and do it. Shame you binned it.

I always remember hearing a very eloquent Mrs Mike "Spike" Edwards tell her hubby "Now listen dear, in order to finish first, one must first finish".
