I've heard Edwinas being refered to as "collar bone corner" more than once.

What a rubish weekend!

Here's hoping it goes uphill from here

Let me know if your mate can't sort the bike for you, I'm doing Mallory on Thursday and Warwick (I'm assuming that's where you are from your info) isn't to far out of the way for me to drop it on the way home.

Thanks mate. Hope to have it by then but if not I'll give you a shout.

Ooops. I was out drinking with two of the No Limits instructors who were there over Friday and Saturday. Friday was described as one of their best trackdays ever, with only one incident and a huge number of Ducati Monster owners riding and driving away very happy indeed. Saturday was described as absolute bloody carnage, because no-one could stay upright all day. Danny and Ratty said virtually every session was red flagged because of crashes.

Apparently the inters group were completely clueless and the most dangerous group they'd both of them ever seen.

That sounds all too familiar sadly. Donington last month was beyond the ****ing joke, 9 sessions in the morning between the groups and 9 red flags including a guy in the fast that ploughed straight into the barrier coming out of Melbourne right infront of us. And then in the inters I come round the last left hander onto the start/finish to find a triumph on its side spinning round and round. Cue lots of bikers practising the swerve test

Inters, or inconsistent group as its better known. I've toyed with the idea of going in the advanced group from now on, its safer!

That's pretty much the reason why I made an extra effort to improve my riding, so I could feel comfortable in advanced (or fast) group. It is safer there usually.

i'll go from being usually 1 of the fastest in the inters to undoubtedly 1 of the slowest in the fast. But whats that saying, big fish in a little pond
