Might Need A Rider For Nlr At Donington May 16

  1. Guys and Gals...

    We might need a rider for out team for the No Limits 6 hour race at Donny on 16th May.
    We are currently a 4 man team that may be reduced to 3...

    We might run as three, or offer up a place... A chat over beer next week may decide that.

    Fees are paid for, all you'll need is a bike that'll pass scrutineering, tyres and ACU licence.

    @scrawnsenior is our first choice but need to confirm if he is allowed...

    Next offer goes to @bradders as pay back for giving us the shark's fin we needed last year; and I'm pretty sure you had an ACU licence last year...??

    Other interested riders please reply to this post... That includes the ladies...

    We were hoping to get Jenny Tinmouth to join us but rumour has it she's washing her hair... Bugger!

    We are not racers, just track day riders that normally potter around in the inters, but do an endurance race each year for a bit of fun, so don't expect a place on the podium...

    So no promises, as our original rider may be able to make it, and if @scrawnsenior can ride, the place is his...

    Cheers,

    Bob

  3. There's no need for that. I get the impression he knows his way around on a bike... ;)
     
  4. Lol Dom, so did I until I went riding with the fast blokes. I'm not so sure now. I'm going to dust the RC8 off for Donny if it's a goer. Make a bit of a racket and have some fun.

  5. Have you still got both RC8s Dave? Or did you sell one to get the Pani?
     
  6. My missus is away and will never notice if I just 'pop out' for a while ;) so if you have any tickets going I may have a ride up and watch/make T/take the piss :)
     
  7. I wish that was the case Dom, I only have the RC8 Track now. I sold the standard RC8 along with a motocross bike, trials bike and my caravan........just to pay for tyres for the season :Wideyed: I've got a few more things to sell to keep me going for the rest of the season but essentially I've used my savings to buy the bike which has created a bit of friction to say the least. I have a tolerant wife so when she does pipe up then I know it's serious :D but fook it, only live once.

  8. @ bradders They gave us plenty of tickets last year, so I'll let you know. Pretty sure we'll be able to get all in for free... If anyone turns up and can't get in then give me a bell on 07889 981416 and we should be able to send someone out with tickets or an over sized wristband ;-) We'll be running a white 848 and Blue and white R1 (number 46) and possibly Dave's RC8. Not been given a garage number yet...

    @scrawnsenior Ralph came of at Portimao which is why we're running Tom's R1 instead of Ralph's Blade. Not sure if Ralph's wrist will be strong enough for the race, and track day's the week before. We're going for a team meet Thursday night and will probably make a call then...

    Are you or Luke going up for the pre WSB track Days at Donny on 12 & 14 May. I'm booked in for both, as is Neil who will be sharing the 848...

    Cheers,

    Bob
