YouTube: 1999 World Superbike Nurburgring - The Oil Spill

Remember this one?

 

Yes.

Edwards was particularly pissed as it was oil on the Castrol corner, and
Castrol was his primary sponsor that year.

"Castrol all over his leathers and bike - including the tyres"

 

Id quite like to see the full race and commentary of that!

Heh, I do. What a fucking mess that was.

 

Green 7R race bikes. Now that makes me all race nostalgic.

Hello one and all. It's certainly been a while!

 

<waves>

Fancy a clique run later this year?

 

<thinks>

Crikey! Hello mate. About 2 or 3 years ago I think I tried quite
hard to get in touch with you, but failed. But it was to do with
racing, which is all history (for me) now.

Hope you and your family are well.

Oh dear god yes please. 18 months off a bike so I have some catching
up to do in more ways than one!

<fx: Prays he's configured Agent 5 correctly this time as quite
frankly I can't be arsed to head over to alt.test/>

I have already made the greatest contribution to the fight against climate
change that I can make: I have decided not to breed. Now quit bugging me and
go and talk to the Catholics.

 

As I watched Platy's VFR being loaded onto the back of a recovery wagon
at the weekend, I thought of you.

 

Hello fella. Yes, I read your blog a few weeks ago. Quite an
"entertaining" read. But 12 months on, suffice to say it's cool to
see you're on 2 wheels again.

Getting there. New place with an extension on the back twice the size
we originally planned pretty much gave me a stroke last year. Any
thought of sideways promotion into Project Management at work will see
me opening a chip shop in Wales. That role certainly isn't for me! If
project managing the build didn't nearly kill me, living with my
mother for 18 months should have. It all seemed like such a good idea
at the time.

Family's cool although Milly's also got as we call it a "funny head"
which roughly translates to an eventual diagnosis of Complex Partial
Seizures (Epilepsy). You may or may not remember but she was in a bit
of a mess when she was born (6 years ago!). So this is the side
effect of that, which given her initial problems we've got off pretty
damn lightly so it's not so bad.

Anyway, life's finally started to settle down a bit, the sun's
starting coming out so the bikes firmly back in the frame and blimey
does it feel good.

 

All's good thanks mate. See my reply to Champ for the boring stuff.

 

A cup nicely half full there.

<g> Let us know when you're next at Croft!

Still one of my favourite British circuits. I've promised myself a
couple of BSB rounds this year so maybe make that one of them [1] and
see you both there.

[1] Assuming it's even on the calendar this year

 

Alas no, but tempting indeed.

This CliqueRun sounds more intriguing by the minute but end of August
has a good chance of a date clash with the hols.

I'm pleased to confirm that I escaped the madness over two years ago.
Unfortunately I now work on behalf of a bunch of chartered surveyors,
so frying pans and fires abound.

 

ditto

 

It is. 11-13th Sept. And for once it's on a weekend we have free.

 

Ha you can never escape.

You'll fit right in here then.

 

I think Champ may be organising something that'd be just right for
you.
