The naked bike managed to stay upright and suffered a bent exhaust, the other bike looked like someone had charged at it with a sledgehammer. The rider was okay though.....he took more of a beating on fb

I think the camera bike was a 04/05 ZX10, the now collectable C model. Nice ones just got a little rarer. I rode past the wreckage thinking "ooooofff!" as it lay at the side of the track (rider stood next to it obviously uninjured) and apparently as it was delivered back to the paddock the marshalls kept going back into the van for a few more armfuls of stuff.

It's not moaning John, purely an observation that unfortunately impacts on everyones enjoyment to a degree, Nonetheless, we still had a good time and good night out on Saturday. The place we started out at reminded me of the pub in 'American Werewolf In London'
Its always been the same though hasn't it, nowt really changes, pleased to hear you all had a good time though.

Drink!

He does take some good pics does pete

The images from Alex and pete at the No limits days seem far superior to those from the MSV days.

Even bought a couple this time

I think that looks pretty good tbh. There are lads on here with a similar style and they are quicker than I ever could be. Your looking where your wanting to go that's the main thing and something i'm slipping away from doing like a tard.

Sounds like it was a good weekend I'm just jealous we haven't had a northern one this year.
I thought this was the northern one?

It's the other side of Cambridge, far enough north to me.

If I live south of Norwich, what does that make it?

Thanks though I know by the end of the day my arms are fvked from holding on too tight as I am not utilising locking my elbow into the tank.
It's better than it used to though!

What goes on off track stays off record!

Half the attendees were Norverners anyway which is (possibly)why we wandered from pub to pub looking for the 'perfect pint'. rolleyes

I might have a look on Wileman's website for some shots when I get a mo sometime this weekend.

John ( and Jon ) , not quite the same vibe as usual - my weekend was a non-starter...I shall write up my little saga over the weekend ...if I can get my the fingers on my right hand to start working properly by then ...
My physical condition ( inability to brake) brought me in after 5 laps ... to find the pooling fork oil around one fork leg , caliper , wheel and tyre ...which would certainly have had me off had I got going in normal fashion ....
Good company, food and ( eventually !) drink though ...!
