BN - was this all because of you not getting on with the new blade? Or your mojo was just out of kilter?

Did anyone beside Tim85 have a good day?!

I had an awesome day! Took it steady bobbing and built up REALLY gradually.
By the time I'd finished, I had no chicken strips and was really pushing myself (safely).
Bike flattered me, performed faultlessly and looked a million dollars.
Think I'll have a track bike in the next 6 months and retire the GSX-R to stud smile

All the bikes fault, I was well up for a good scrap on track.

Aky even offered me his bike to use.

The difference from your first session and the last I saw from the pitwall was like night and day. By the end it looked like you were going really well buddy.

No, he was in the bottom garage with his racer mates.

He did come up to our garage a couple of times though.

Thanks very much.
Was letting the engine do a lot of the braking for most of the sessions, most of the corners. So I know I could have pushed a lot harder with regards to braking.
Glad to hear it looked like I was improving, always nice.
Think I remember your GSX-R now, at the front on the other side of the garage to mine?
BN - no, don't think I had the pleasure!

After a busy weekend of a trip to hampden and banger world cup I headed to Edinburgh to pick up Prolapse. I called to remind him to bring a pillow.

It took 3 hours to load up the Bike onto the trailer. The reason being the trailer had to be dismantled, adjusted and eye hooks moved. Also my normal mounting points were no good. with two bikes it was hard to secure it as any available clamping point was too short and the rachet straps too long from hook to mechanism. Oh and I forgot my pillow when I saw his. Cock

We headed down without any drama. We did try to get a bbq but every supermarket was shut at 4 pm on a Sunday. Yet they claimed they were open 24/7. This disturbed me greatly. Wtf is this all about.

We discovered why the ride on the skoda was shocking. With sporter springs (vrs) and a ton towing and carrying it was bottoming out and the front trying to escape up like a tiddly wink.



Tim arrived and made a st job of reversing, his trailer was held on with a prayer and had more naughts in iT than bill Gates bank statement



It's not easy mind. I'm st at it.

We had a bbq, which was a nightmare as it was windy ad fk

Luckily Prolapse is bear grills and spent 20 minutes making smoke signals with his mouth to get it going. He is probably going to die from miners disease but it's a small price to pay. We did try to light it in our pod. But after this discovered a huge smoke and co2 alarm so rushed it outside. For some reason Prolapse got 12 burgers We were stuffed. And I eat a lot of burgers.



After this we retired to our hedgehog

Prolapse and Tim were both sleeping by 10:30 leaving me bored watching jaws to start with and only fools

I was told to keep it down so had to Suck my monster munch and turn my tele down.



I did eventually wake up at four dying for a pish after drinking. I toyed with doing it in a beer can but had to get up and climb over Tim and pee in the cold.

My mattress had shrunk again I was now sleeping on the floor. They are st.

Tim nor Prolapse snore but they are whistlers. One through the noise and one mouth. It sounded like a faint model locomotive going back and forward all night I felt like killing them. Then the fking birds started tweeting at 4 in the morning. What they fk are they saying at that time.

We went to track. Got unpacked. I got angry at Prolapse for trying to sit on the bikes while we unloaded them and doing it one handed. He took the huff. He flung my helmet on the floor. I resisted the urge to beat him to death with it

The ONe thing I said was apart from bring a pillow was keep your bike key in my ashtray do it now. No its ok he said as we left Scotland. Sure enough he lost it and tore my car apart looking for it panicking us all to fk for 30 mins before we went out.

I fought the bike all day I had various issues. Like BN I just need it ssetup

Lunch was good a good old natter and just like on here. Hebegb did comment that my hot dog looked raw however. When he said something like "let's see" I stupidly turned it vertical for him to get a better look sending the sausage plummeting to the deck splattering it's tomato sauce and onions all over me like a cluster bomb. It was insanely pink and now covered in grit but fk it this cost me 4 quid. I wiped it as best as I could on my leathers and ate it. It wasn't bad. The grit however hurt my teeth

I loaded the car up as prolapse finished his session. We headed home. I was not impressed when he cracked open a tin before we left the car park. It was now clear I was doing all the driving.

We joined the A1 and headed south by mistake as I said in picture a day. I still Blame him. I said a few times my sat navigation wants to come off. But I listened to a guy who lived near here at uni. So that's my fault somehow.

Anyhoo. I drove home. All the time rolling fags as prolapse cannot skin up a simple rolly

I mean come on did you never smoke a joint. It's a piece of pish. I can do it driving. Egyptians could do it. I can do it Pissed. Kids can do this. Your a grown man for fk sake.

Coming up doing 60 a van pulls right out into out path yards away. For some reason I cooly and calmly moved to the right just missing it and not jack knifing the trailer. Prolapse hadn't pissed me off enough clearly as I didn't head into it using him as a crumple zone.

That was until he suggested when we got back to his we go to the graveyard to unload the bikes instead of outside his house. This didn't go down well with me. fk the neighbours I'm thinking I want my bed. I've another two hours after it. He assured me it would be fine. I ignored this for fear of burying him alive if there was an open grave. We unloaded the trailer sorted it and left feeling that our friendship will never be the same again.

I got in at well Past midnight. Tired and vowed never to do it again.
