There I was looking forward to my first outing of the year. Nip down to the goat pub to see the lads. Then! Bang or rather tinkel tinkel. I took the baby beast for a run on saturday , and I may have been a bit possessive going into a roundabout, NO pimpled faced youth in mums VW golf GTi XL Turbo thingy wotsit, was having me. I won of course and beat him to the next roundabout, thing was I had an extra noise now, nice man at the garage said my cam shafts not all oval in the right places, one bits sort of rounder now. Anyway whats a few hundred quid to wipe the smile of his greasy face. 200's still rule even from the pit lane. see you all next time. XX

Aw Derek! You must look after your toys. They are collectors items you know.

Baby wedge is in a nice warm workshop, cam done, NEW rear gaz shocks and springs fitted tomorrow. And the new magnetic sump plug I bought at last years BBWF. See, I am looking after the old 200. It must have been that lasagne I ate.

Well done Degz - real shame you did not make it on Sunday.

I'm fitting my new rear Gaz shocks on Sunday - busy spraying plus gas on the bolts every evening..

Good luck with yours
