Do you go into the film section on ph and tell them they are wrong for not liking a small budget amateur film. Because this is exactly what your doing here.
To be fair, I think what you're saying is more akin to you going to see a low-budget amateur film at the cinema an then complaining that some bits were a bit crap. I'm probably more in the "at least they're having a go" camp. I'm not sure those series are really designed to pull in the paying punters as a spectacle in their own right.

On a similar theme, 2 stroke meet at a local cafe today, weather put many off I think but I took the LC along, with my daughter on pillion. I cant get my head around the fact around her age, I had my first LC..
Some lovely bikes made it anyway.
Great pics mate - Your daughter on the back of a 35 year old LC, memories......Some lovely bikes made it anyway.

We are nearly into May so what's up with our weather at the moment where we still get snowfall once in a while!
Nearly froze my nuts off on the bike into work this morning, might have to put thermal base layer back on tomorrow.
Nothing new about being cold this time of year, you youngsters have been spoilt with global warming!Nearly froze my nuts off on the bike into work this morning, might have to put thermal base layer back on tomorrow.
I can remember getting back from Greece in early June and going to a country fair at Ardingly in Sussex and we could see our breath at 11am...

I know I need to hang off more, but I quite like this photo from yesterday at Donington.
I used to wear a body warmer and I couldn't work out why I was top end on my group one day then piss poor the next.
I assumed it was a hangover but it was happened out on the road as well. I went out a session back to back without it and found it totally restricted my movement for leaning off. It pinched at the arms even though it felt fine off the bike.

Not at all mate. It is thin fabric that stretched easily mainly to keep wind off as leathers perforated and it barely went above ten degrees all day! I used to wear a body warmer and I couldn't work out why I was top end on my group one day then piss poor the next.

I spoke to Loon yesterday about a run out but like you say it looks like it isn't going to happen.

This was racing in the forgotten era class at the weekend
Loved these back in the day
Looks great doesn't it. Just looking at the picture I can hear the fairing rattling and feel the seat & tank digging into parts of my body.Loved these back in the day
See the joins on the fairing? No, there isn't any, front wheel has to come off to do an oil change!!
Wasn't there a Swedish (or that area) rider who raced these in the IOM, in white with white leathers? Can't remember his name but recall both names starting with the same letter.
