  1. That's the same day (29/07/20), I too ran out of talent :eek:, with a big off at the gooseneck, looks like it had dried by the time your footage was taken though :cool:.
     
  2. You have plenty of talent and willing to push hard. Really enjoyed that, thanks.

  8. Just back from Almeria with focussed
    Unfortunately, the chain snapped on my BMW on the first day going through the seat unit, and taking out the gearbox sensors, so that was the end of that bike for the trip
    I then rented a ZX10RR road bike with track fairings from Focussed and spent the final 3 days with a camera stuck to the front chasing my 14yr old son around, who was there on next year's BSB practice Ninja 400
    Other than the buggered BMW, it was a great trip and a nice way to see out what's been a pretty rubbish 2020

    Got away lightly with the snapped chain, with just a few bruises on my arse and a small cuts on my lower back

    Although it was quite sunny for all four days, there was some weird weather front over Southern Spain, and it was pretty cold and very windy. They had to close the track a few times as they have a 60kph wind limit, and on the late afternoon of the second day, the wind took a bit of the roof off one of the garages !

  9. I noticed that cold wind at Almeria early this year. Played havoc with tyre temps. Was not aware they had a wind speed limit though. Hoping February 11th will be ok.

  10. Epic father & son pic right there!
    I was in Almeria in Nov a few years ago and it was f'ing cold! I recall approaching the circuit and the hills in the distance were white with frost. The wind coming off them and on to circuit was shocking! :cold_sweat:
     
  11. Yeah, a mate of mine that lives near there was saying that if it's windy in Dec/Jan timing, the wind can be bloody cold
    If you managed to find a spot out the wind and in the sun, it was properly shorts and shirt weather, but as soon as the wind got on you, it was jeans and puffer jacket
    The track stayed fairly grippy though even though the long back straight into a headwind really chilled your front tyre off, so you had to be careful in the last two turns and build some heat into turn one
     
  12. Yeah - i remember the tyres being colder when you came back in!
     
  13. Chilled front tyre as you trail brake into the final chicane.....nice.

    Probably a good idea to go for a warming coffee in the paddock cafe and watch the carnage :eek:
     
  14. Found these snaps in the drawer. Sometime in mid 90s I was lucky enough (!!) to get a few laps on the platform around Brands with Roger Body. Scary, even at gentle pace.

  15. Bloody hell mate. I take it your left leg is ok? Looks a bit hairy that.. :astonished:
     
  16. A bit bruised and battered and I had a few cuts up my lower back below the protected part of my leathers, but basically ok
    Got away with it lightly really

  17. glad you’re ok pal. Epic shot with Mikey as well.

    apart from the chain snapping, how you find the beemer compared to the R1? Thinking of getting a beemer myself.
     
  18. It's hard to tell as the chain snapped on the 3rd or 4th session, and it had a shift cam sensor failure before that point, so I've not had much luck with it so far
    It feels like a great bike though, and the power is super linear
     
  19. Cartagena last weekend. First time out on the R1
