Apparently I'm not cool unless I hang out here with the cool kids so I decided to join yas! :humble:

From what I've seen, I know most of you already but in case I don't "hello, nice to meet you" and all that jazz! ;)

Think of a ZX6R.

Now think of it lying on the track.

Did that help or what?

Yep, me too. On the wet bike. The first corner of the first lap in wet quali. D'oh! I'd just fixed it all from when Phil crashed it at Wakefield. At some point I would like to actually complete a lap on that bike. I've owned it for 9 months and haven't ridden it in anger....

And hi Ed!! Nice to have you back with the cool kids ;)

I managed to get to t5 on the opening of the Qualy session Nick....I think it is the 4th time I have bounced in Qualy - 3 times on opening lap....I might start to boycott the qualy and start from rear afield.....

In the 4-hour, that's not much of a disadvantage. Much more of an advantage would be to practice running in boots, leathers and a helmet, so as not to take a tumble like Michael did!! :pound:

That's my fastest leg of the 4 hr. I love that start. Wish they were all like that.

They say that "if you're not crashing, you're not trying" so I think it's safe to assume I'm a try hard

Ironically, I didnt expect to qualify the fastest of our riders..so was just going out to settle in...didnt get that far and then the fall caused intermittent electrical issues meaning we went out on Mick J's biker on wets.....sitting it out would have allowed me to start and go out on drys...then again..I may have been caught up in all the mess that ensued....

guess Ill just need to toughen up and have a go.... ;)

I stand corrected! Funny as a circus, that was :pound:

Mercho caught it on Video....

Chubb/ Mazz and Damo did an awesome job considering the challenges they copped on the day....4 crashes and a swan dive....

Results may well have been different otherwise....
