Nothing more to say really, if it's been organised it'll be here.

Never mind all that Andy, where's your bloody videos? I'm expecting some good footage of my chuff in HD mate ;)

Yes, good words indeed Simon, but more windy than summary I feel - like being repeatedly beaten with a good stick - champion. It was the best time I've had in a leather bag for ages, since the weekend before in fact. Alas the whole experience was far too short so must make it both days next time :P

Just some observations from the weekend:

Anglesey is the windiest place on earth;

International circuits are the way to go, YAY!

One can decide whether or not to erect an instant shelter, in an instant;

Happiness is a piece of cake - for that more rounded [fuller] experience on track;

Gaffer tape is extremely versatile;

Adorning a track bike with "Glow in the Dark" paint is totally pointless;

Van interior lights consume seriously more power than you would ever believe.


Mi seems to have captured the essence of this fantastic meeting extremely well in this short video, be sure to turn sound right up to hear the girls talking, enjoy:

For sure her talents bear No Limits and at time of writing her newly formed production company "Half Baked" is in talks with the TD organisers about shooting their promo videos at circuits up and down the country, watch this space...

The icing on the cake for me was winning the oldest baldest rider chap competition which I have to admit really was a walk in the paddock. Young Scott does look a tad miffed that Tony pipped him into 3rd place and scoffed away with the banana booby prize

Thanks to my extended family and friends for making it special and to the Ynys Mon marshall who's name escapes me for the jump start, happy days... 8-)

That 3rd photo really sums up how amazing Anglesey's views are. I could have parked up there for a session and just taken n the view.

You also managed to get pictures of me on my old bike in the only session I rode it. I was a bit wary of the cruise control settings tony had installed though lol

OK Gents, I can take a hint.
Last night I spent 4 hours working on a cinematic opus the envy of every skinny jeans wearing bearded hipster on BikeExif. A masterpiece combining beautifully framed High Definition footage with moody photographs, stunning transitions and a soundtrack from the latest soulful R&B band but then my steam powered laptop crashed yet again so instead here's some glorious shaky footage, filmed on a cheap GoPro knock-off, pointed through a dirty and scratched screen with some nasty jerky editing........

In this episode we get to watch Simon attempting to crash in the pitlane, me discovering how effective NC23 brakes are whilst trying not to take him out from behind and the pair of us running out of petrol.

In the next episode there will be footage of more of the group and you all finally get to answer the question "does my bum look big in these leathers?" - The answer's yes by the way :P
