it did sound lovely, I could hear it before I seen it, sounded dead lazy, dirty and grunty.

what a great day, I was having that much fun on track and at the "training school" that I missed my lunch and was powered by red bull and fags.

I have broken my nail though, its sort of coming unstuck from the finger and I have a nice bit of road rash on my bum area from coming off after acting like a tit.

i'll post a wee review up when I get the photos back

nice to see you johney cracking limp btw and congratulations on not being a fat bd anymore.

RIGHT, when are we having another one?

no excuses, I have no more booked, therefor nothing to look forward to....

Prolapse - come on im sure you wont be as st this time, you look great in an orange bib anyway
leighz - you never post on here, get your arse on, have you fixed the gsxr yet, you need to do more than 10 laps come on
v60marko - your a seasoned pro now, well better than prolapse, when you coming back up
johney 50 - we will let you off, you do have a broken back
McKean - wtf man, get your arse up once, you're local to me, or at least you work in the same sector and town I do in, stop going to tracks abroad and take me up in your van/trailer.
that guy with Glasgow with the R1 - come on....

lets go to knockhill.....

Firstly, i don't have a van or a trailer, what do you think I am, made of money!!!

Secondly, you want me to cancel Brno, Jerez, Aragon, Portimao, Almeria, Valencia and Le Mans to go to Knockhill???????????

ARE YOU fkING MENTAL?
I was just joking smile i'll let you off, as to be frank that's an epic line up, never knew you had all of them coming up. But it would be nice to see you up there if you can make it or on the Scottish run out. I'm a lot more bearable in the flesh, honestly...

Just trying to get the Scottish section on here to meet up every once and a while, as they are all hermits. Be nice if we got a few regulars together and maybe went down south together, like the rest of PH does.

I'm in Fife for the next couple of weeks and I have my bike with me so i'd be up for a ride out. Not sure about Trackdays though as I'm struggling with a shoulder injury so I'd rather not take the risk.

Do you know anything about Fife and are there any good roads around here you would recommend? There's a Fife coastal route which I was going to try on the next Sunny weekend..
let me know, ill take you out on a few roads. im out most weekends

just had a look at the weather, its been raining all day and will continue till Sunday.

I'll still go out if you fancy it, riding in rain doesn't bother me, I would say though I don't normally choose to go out in it. I'll let you call it.

I'm proposing a venture down south...

oulton park 16th and 17th of july. think loon, George and tim are going to be there.

hopefully get 3 or 4 bodies, rent a big van, do collections along the way, head down on the 15th drop the bikes off in the pits, then camp out with a BBQ and a few Malibu's and Pineapple till the 17th then head home.

its only 4 hours away from central Scotland.

Anyone fancy it?

£80ish for van and diesel
£250 for two days on track
food and beer wouldn't be much

that's based on 3 of us going. Anyone fancy it.

I'll start with the mix-tapes.

It's a good idea. To be honest though I was thinking of getting a few more days under my belt at Knockhill first. I fancied a trip to Silverstone later in the year, like September time.
fair enough, anyone else?

Sadly I'm probably out due to lack of funds this year. Can only make Knockhill because I pre-paid.

Next year though....
you said that last year...
