  9. Didnt seem that many when lined up tbh.

    Most seem to have gone by second session of the afternoon too.

    Some lovely kit there again today. Cookster and I have a really interesting chat with Iain from MR while looking over Bridewell’s bike. The stuff you find out is quite insightful ;)
     
  10. So, you ARE going to buy a slipper then!?
     
  11. Only when I get back into fast group track pace ;)
     
  12. Cracking day, had a blast.

    First real trackday as castle combe Doesnt count as is just w&nk.

    last session was by far my favourite. Even though I was almost out of energy.

    Second session, outta juice on penultimate corner and under chequered flag. Managed to restart after a bit of bouncing about. Just got back to the pit entrance and paddled all the way back to garage 40.

    Some very courteous riding in the novice group, few new friends made and managed to stick with the chap I was chasing all day on a 1299r for the whole of the last session.

    well impressed with the bike and roll on the next one.

  16. He makes such a fuss. He's here now! It was only one digit out, 5 should been a 6.
    Nice.

  17. 5 instead of a 6. Fat thumbs..
    I should have checked the message.
    1st time have made that 'honest' mistake. I did say 25- 30mins.
    1hr+ I did start to think about calling. Still found his way here. < said in a nice way.

  18. Cracking day out with a great group again, spent as much time picnicking in garage 25 as we did riding, the 30 minute sessions were along but fun, and still passed quickly, day was cut short exiting pit lane at the start of the last session, thanks to Wilf diagnosed as a MAP sensor so that's ordered and on its way from Snells before the bike gets shipped to Estoril on Saturday, so better it happened yesterday, rather lose a session here than 3 days out there.

    Big thanks to @andyb for the wheel swopping help ...

  20. Lol, I did ask wilf who to call for them, he asked who looked after the bike and he said Snells are good guys, get them off them. In my defence lol.
