I'm getting the impression you and your mates are nuts, Bob.

Dan...I only had my 6K one done in Nov. Reckon I need to get it done again? It's only at 7300ish.

Just need chain tightening a little and perhaps the freeplay on throttle adjusted. They've said

Up to you, as you've been using it I probably wouldn't bother.

Just do the chain yourself

quite the opposite San , especially this weekend , i didnt want to add to the list of statistics this weekend will no doubt have provided.

I am already hearing of 2 offs and a r.i.p.

One of the offs was a 42 year old being asked to take a "looker" for a ride on his bike , which he did , she was egging him on, and like a total prick , he ended up looping the bike at over a 100 clicks .
Both in hospital with not a lot of skin left .

Went to BSB at Brands yesterday ...

Big cage jams on the way in but we sailed happily by laughing at the drivers
Top racing ... superstocks, 125s and Virgin cup R6's (where were you San?!!) as well as the superbikes, although lots of crashes, but thankfully no serious injuries.
Top day for signor Lavilla and the new guy Camier ... 6 foot 4 and all of 20 yrs old ... definitely one to watch for the future i reckon!

Am bit sunburnt on me chest today .. forgot I was wearing a v-neck t-shirt

We left after the last race as there was a mad dash for the carparks after the 2nd BSB race. Out of the Paddock entrance (VERY nasty rocky, gravelly bit on the exit ) and on to M25 and back to the tall bloke's place in Stortford in less than an hour.
