newcomer vists
just attended the febuary manx gp newcomer visits, what an awsome weekend, i thought i new the course reasonably well. i knew fk all, to anyone going to the manx this should be compulsory, some may dissagree whith that i know, some are just fast on the roads, but the tips and course knowlage handed to you on a plate can only be good, and the okells still tastes great, rob

Re: newcomer vists
Sounds like a plan mate, sounds like we'll be in the same race if all go's to plan, will be hitting that beer tent after the first race to celebrate a life time ambition!
So are you racing the RVF400? I'll be on the SV and looking to do the Newcomers and the lightweight, just got 2 signatures left to get my Mountain Course Licence. Wayne will you be back for the Manx this year? |

Re: newcomer vists
just the sv carby, we only have the sv for the manx, we do have a cb 500 to for thundersport rounds to, but concentrating on mgp this year, i have 4 rounds to get my mountain lisence, you may have thought we race an rvf coz of my user name ( rv racing ) r = rob v= verity ( the missus) she races to, and has more pots than me, something i must adress, he he , im in the newcomers and the wednesday race, not sure if the supertwin and the lightwaight are seperate results, if so, i may opt for the supertwin option, even tho its a standard motor, i will need to take advice on that to be honest, one thing is for sure the beer tent will be given a good pasting, and the town later, i recon all the newcomer lads n lasses should should form an assault party and hit duggy very hard, we have a few days to recover before were on duty again mitch, you up for it ?????

Re: newcomer vists
Ah sorry about that, user name kerffufel! Yep I recon a session on the town afterwards is compulsery, you only get to be a Newcomer once at the MGP, then your thrown in with the rest of emm! Did you see the video, think you may be on this somwhere? I see the entrys are just out, better get saving, £333 per race!
Had my first session on track yesterday on my SV, was dam cold but good to get out, my first race meeting is on the 25th March up Jurby IOM, Next one after that is 15th April, then I can get my MTC Licence, happy days!

Re: newcomer vists
I know what you mean about just getting a finish, just take it steady but thats easier said than done!
The Jurby Festival is ace, we'll be able to enter it once weve done the Manx too! So do I get a free breakfast at the MGP Newcomers weekend lol. |
