Haga is fine!

Had a cracking day, met up with Cal C through a friend, ended up having lunch with him and few others. Got a few autographs, including Spies, who is a stroppy bugger! Stood at Melbourne on the infield :D

I went up on the steed sat, hotel'd it (not hardcore like the campers) then obv there reli early sunday. Had an amazing weekend, would reli recommend a paddock pass, we watched the second race from the exit of melbourne loop, reli good photos, i'm in a lime green t-shirt when ben spies does his burn-out there by the american flag if u watch on eurosport (looking after the flag for some cool yanks we met if u wer wondering) which was reli cool. so ye shame bout nori, but got me lid signed by corser, various other signatures and meetings, including all the supersport podium (cal, juan and gary), a final thought of all the riders i met, xaus, kiyo and juan lascorz were stand out, reli nice people, plenty of time for the crazy fans invading their pits and wud chat with you for ages :cool: v happy boy

Sounds better! :D

Spies just doesn't like signing things, i considered it pretty stroppy of him to throw my pen away after i stopped his scooter! he just pushes past everyone refusing to sign things! Still.. maybe it'll be worth something eh?!

Got a programme signed by

Ron Haslam
Leon Haslam
Gary Mccoy
Tom Sykes
Leon Camier
James Ellison
Fuijiwara
Cal Crutchlow
John Hopkins
Anthony West
David Checa
Ben Spies

And a few others!

That's a well signed programme right there, did you get to see any of the races? :) mite just have been cause he was on his ped, he seemed quite happy to sign his life away out the back of his pit, unlike nori after the first race (slammed the door on everyone, oh well he got done by ben 'pies/ elbowz' spies)-get better soon nori. The guy I went with almost got run over twice by max biaggi on his scooter, I'm thinking he wouldn't pass his cbt! :thumbsup:

Re: WSBK Donnington!
 
Lol yeah, watched all the races apart from the 125 and the one after that!

Didn't do the pit walk but just bumped into most of the riders walking around! saw Carl Fogarty but he wouldn't sign anything either! We had the same thing with Haga after he came out of the interview, straight on the scooter and away from everyone!

I got my own back on Spies for throwing my pen away! i signed his truck with a spare pen! silly boy.

Did see Biaggi flying around pretty darn quickly on his scoot! same as Johnny Rea pulling wheelies with Leon Camier on scooters, pretty sure i've got a pic of that somewhere!

I got my pic with Schwantzy which was a huge highlight of the weekend! We camped, and were all over the track on sat, although stayed at Redgate outfield for the races on Sunday.
The campsite had no atmosphere at all, after staying in one at Catalunya. It was dull as dishwater. Nobody allowed to rev bikes, no fairground and the whole campsite seemed to be asleep by 11. Yawn.

I dunno, considering Camier started so far back he did very well in the 2nd race imo :)

Ye 6th and top wildcard in a wsb race is good under any circumstances I will admit, but it wasn't the Spies v Camier Show that it might have been after the 1st free practice, he just didn't seem to get any faster over the weekend which was a shame cause he's on fire rite now
