Ok, so mentioned it on the phone to Shiv today and she said "can we talk about it when I get home?"

Translating that from girl-speak means she'll be really upset if I do go, but doesn't want to say so because she doesn't want to seem like a kill-joy. I'm now a probable no.

(Sod off the lot of you. The thumb is a useful covering, it keeps the rain off don't you know...)

Nah, she's prolly had a call from the track asking if she can talk you out of it.

They cant afford to repair the track if you fall on it and dent it you see....they say the pics of the road after your last off and noticed you were fine, bike was a bit bent but the road had a great big bear shaped ding in it

well it's not quite bear shaped, but you can see the damage caused here:

Silverstone simply can't afford to have you do something like that again, cos they'll never get things fixed up again in time for the F1 racing, etc...

Sorry Bear but it's for the good of a whole nation!

Jaime have you tried the old getting back on the horse analogy? It'd be a crying shame not to be able to cruise in your slipstream. Why are you not going Spiderman?

One more thing Bear: DON'T MENTION THE R WORD IN A TRACKDAY THREAD!
