Tempting Fate before the French Run

I've just booked myself in at Snetterton on the monday before.

Anyone else fancy coming along?

I don't fancy Snetterton again. Especially not on the Tiger.

Did you/your mate look at the "7R question", BTW?

 

Yes, but still awaiting photo opportunity as that fuckwit
out in the sticks keeps cancelling on me.

 

True, but it gives me a deadline to get the 600/620 sorted and
then give it a proper shakedown on the track. It's only an hour
from here, so no real hassle for me. Plus it's only £85.

 

<waves> I'm free!

 

(a) Thursday night?
(b) Have you done my plastic yet?

 

What time?

I'll have it with me.

 

I'd like to say, here and now, that any French Runner who toddles
along and bins it, and then asks me for a refund, will get remarkably
short shrift

 

This sort of thing?

 

Ah, the luxury of multiple bikes

 

Well *quite*

 

It's not a brilliant track, but it's a real track and it is cheap.
The 600/620 doesn't really like it either given the long straights,
but it's good enough for shake down testing.

They've improved Snett a lot in the last 5 years, although it always
had a really good garage setup from what I can remember. The new road
certainly helps to get cars in and out much better, but I think that
was more to do with the sunday market than race events!

 

About 8pm

See you then. You can try my new GT8.

Nice one. Will phone to confirm.

Does it go up to 11 ?

 

Heh, you spotted the obvious flaw in my plan!

 

In message

The garages were fairly new when I worked there in around 1988-89, but I
don't know when they were built exactly. I can't remember much else
about the place tbh, although I can remember being the chequered flag
man on the raised starting gantry on a blazing hot summers day, kinda
cool for a 16 year old.

I wonder...

Adie fell for this classic at the TT last year:

Q) "Can I have a go on your R1?"

A) "Yes."

Q) "Can Christofire have a go on your R1?"

A) "Yes."

"Good, we're using it to do Jurby endurance in October."

She changed her mind very quickly and might get suspicious if I ask to
borrow it just before France.
