Have a go at a hill climb

Bloody hell!

 

Provisional meeting dates list just arrived. First event (as usual)
Hartland Quay 20th March. Pencil it in to your diaries. Last time I was
there that early in the year it snowed. The way this winter is shaping
up it may have to be changed to a downhill ski event.

Aye, he's not bad. A regular in the top ten, but not quick enough to
beat Jimmy Hodges or Paul Jarrett this year. BTW Paul's Aprilia super
trick SXV550 is for sale.

I think it's visible at least a couple more times; appears to be on
the tighter corners.

 

Indeed. TBH, most of the old-timers reckon he backs it in too much and
that he would be quicker if he didn't do it so consciously at nearly
every tight corner. Very entertaining for the spectators though.

It doesn't look quite right for countersteering, IMO. It's a bit late
in the corner and doesn't seem to initiate the lean as such. It's also
much more of a wheel motion that I'd expect.

More likely he's got the rear moving around a bit into the corner and
is correcting for it.

 

Looks that way to me.

If he could only manage a couple of wheelies at the same time he'd be a
shoo-in for the IAM.

 

rubbish - there'd be a trip to Thailand required before-hand.
