  3. Guys guys! Do you not remember what it was like in England 20 years ago? The Internet was only just emerging, mobile phones were clunky,heavy and like bricks compared to now, there was no such thing as WiFi and your IBM with 360 Meg of RAM used to take 20 minutes to start and didn't have enough memory to play solitaire whilst showing the back of the cards.







    That's what it's like in New Zealand today. I can understand @NZDave reluctance to do this!

  6. Cheers Mary. Great fun. I wasn't sure if I would be bored with 4 days there but there's so much to learn.

The 748 shed will be picked up tomorrow from CJS with a moderately healthy 165bhp asnf the other race bike is sat on my bench getting some tlc. And I was given a lovley BJ last night. Arrh life is good.

  13. Yes, I seem to remember it gets tricky after that long looping left hander. The one that spits you out all cocked up for the next right hander. Took me ages to get that right!! And the next 3 turns.....

  15. I always struggled to get the long left right whilst going quickly enough. The only definate is that you have to exit at the curb on the left to get the line correct for the 3 rights......I never consistently wrestled the bike to the curb to be super quick through there.
