That old video that I had of me in Inters from about two years ago is brilliant. The amount of people I rode round who are throwing their knee at the ground desperate to get it down is amazing.
I went in Inters with Fleegle and Aky at Sneterton 5 years ago on my first ever visit.

I put the camera on for the first session and the One after bait and had the same thing.

I've told you I don't like pushing with the camera on because I'm convinced I'll film my own demise.

Next year I'm having a new camera and I'll film every session and then post the quickest one up like everyone else does.

At first it started of as a serious comment, then when I discovered how much it annoyed mckeann it became constant. Somewhere along the way I've lost track of if I'm being serious or not. I can't tell anymore. I'm not even sure if people know I'm in on it as well. I don't know if there laughing with me or at me.

I'm dreading fitting my track tyres and new sprockets
At you, definitely at you.

My camera broke last year, so I'm missing all my 1:41s round Oulton. I can live wth it though, as I know I was on it and awesome wink

When someone does something good and you know they're expecting praise in real life you could jokingly say "do you want a pat on the back" rather sarcastically.

"Have a Banana" is my slant on that.

I thought you were broken too, sorry gramps.
Just a ruptured thigh muscle and 2 broken ribs and damage to the tendons in my shoulder.

I should be fighting fit again soon.
Christ,John, knew you'd had that little off on the fun bikes at Teeside , didn't realise you'd got fairly well bust-up ... heal well and soon , sure you will , hope to see you out before too long !
I just caught up with this, I didn't realise you'd hurt yourself that much, again...

It's been a hairy year for quite a few of us, I've fallen off more times this year than I have in the previous 25 years and I'd forgotten how much it hurts.

Not me unfortunately. Right now with my back I'd kill to be that flexible however silly it looks.

Yeah, its a knacker job for me for the rest of the year, all I can do is concentrate on getting the Honda back to a road bike then look for something different.

I fall off at least once a year. It tends to only damage the bike though, which is quite bizarre at my age.
