There's no "apparently" about it, he is rude and arrogant.
Been a really nice bloke the few times I’ve talked to him

I’ve never met him hence my “apparently” comment

Made a last minute decision and booked for Slovakiaring with Tracksense yesterday, and the local bike drop off was today.

Trackdays are the 24-26th of May, making a weeks holiday if it and going with the missus.

Really looking forward to getting out on the bike again properly after my 2 days at Croft whetted my appetite

The fact you could barely get your arms round me was the hard lesson I learnt that I need to lose weight. Imagine how fast I'd be if I wasn't 19 stone

No, he’s a little bit more awesome. We had a good chat though and like last year when I met him for the first time realised what a nice guy he really is. It’s strange how he comes across on TV as a bit of a miserable sod, but I guess that’s his race face. Apparently Shakey is the exact opposite.
Josh is a really nice guy, and always has time for people
I worked with Josh recently, and he was super friendly to everyone he met, and took loads of time to talk to anyone that asked him anything

I’ve heard from a few people that shakey is a nasty piece of work at times

He's cuddly and still fast so don't feel sorry for him.

Silverstone GP on Tuesday, weathers looking good at the moment, I can’t wait.

Is there any point taking a generator to Silverstone or is there easily enough garage space for everyone?

There's enough garage space and electric points Pat.

I can't wait, first track day of the year for me as Donington was snowed off in March. Any idea if it's new or old pits? Either way, tons of space in both places. Silverstone is particularly good now it's been resurfaced. Went round in the car in Feb and it's super smooth.

So I did the evening session at Snet yesterday.

Gino Rea doing his bit at Mach3...bloody hell...

For me, I hate Snetterton. I just can't ever seem to gel with the place. Yesterday was a clear example of it. I felt like I should have been in novice group. Felt all at sea, couldn't relax, vowing never to go back to Snet.

I'm happy at other tracks. I just feel the almost stop start nature of it doesn't suit me at all. Like it doesn't have a flow to it, being interupted by hairpins and chicanes constantly...


Meh. I'm booked for Monday 11th evening session again to see if I can get out of the funk of the place.
