  1. It was when Barry was ops manager! He allowed them on ! Talking to him about it later he allowed them on provided they didn’t treat it like a race day!!! Anyway Kevin Healy was in Spain and he actually phoned him! I was stood about two feet away from him when he relayed Kevin’s message word for word to Simon buckmaster! They were gone about an hour later! The point I was trying to make was people riding like twats! Nothing more!

  5. Yep, we spoke on the phone before I went to visit with my mate Steve to buy it. Great bike.
     
  6. He was there for a bit while still working for FE at Almeria, I believe he came back to the UK.
     
  7. No reason why he shouldn't.

  8. With you brother. They should let anyone on who has the requirements. And equally kick anyone off who acts like a test. Which seemed to happen in this case.

    I remember hodgson saying at a Ducati trackday that he cant understand why anyone ever crashes as no one is ever going fast enough. Says it all: his 60% is probably most peoples 95%

  9. I tell myself that quote all the time.
     
  10. Just because Hodgson said it doesn't make it gospel. Crashing and/or riding isn't just about speed.

  11. Sure, but i take it that the bike is capable of going round the corner faster than I think it/I can so DON'T PANIC!

    If I crash it's more likely to be my fault than the bikes ability.
     
  12. Fair dos!
    Have fun and don't crash! :upyeah:
