Will probably still have the R6.
Well done to her! Wessex has always been competitive, so she did well. Especially to get in before MMC kicked in.
I had a friend doing a 6 month SHO stint in Winchester from Aug to Feb...did she work there?
You'll have to let me know where she is now and her name.

Just got back from Woodbridge , yesterday we managed a full days racing .
Dutch guy reached 235 mph with the only clean run he managed due to electrical problems , its the first time in 5 years I have seen this guy turn upp and have problems .
We saw a couple of rodded turbo bikes , a gearbox failure , then today a guy had his brakes lock on and throw him off .
It appears they had been binding , then just locked the front wheel .
HE , tripped the beam at 135 , then got up and walked away , broken scaphoid only .

oh shit mate , that is such bad news , can you pm me some details please.
I wondered why he was a no show at the weekend , it was strange him not being there .
Almost every run he has ever done has been 199.** mph , finally getting a 200mph run last year

I heard a rumour this weekend about one of the magazine writers / testers .
Shares a first name with Dan .
All the testers have had to produce their licences for insurance purposes , and it seems that one of them was unable to do this, as he has never had one !
Presently to be seen riding a 125 around Peterborough

Still, you'd have thought that the magazine he was working for would have wanted to have seen the licence

Did you know Lorne Baker had a heart attack recently? Just in case you didn't know.
Been in contact with him now.
Poor bugger broke his wrist too when he had the heart attack
