Title: Re: Bournemouth - HERE I COME!
Post by: jazzyje on August 25, 2006, 06:40 PM: you can relax a bit sats as that big dip in the jump has been filled in since then.its actually not to bad to ride at speed.good job you got a new bike though as i would'nt fancy your chances of escaping injury on that firebird.
Title: Re: Bournemouth - HERE I COME!
Post by: aaronsat on August 26, 2006, 01:51 PM: Shame the gaps been filled - Looked like a big enough space for my tent :LolLolLolLol:

Yeah, just picked up the bike - not too sure of the condition - off to get it out the car and have a closer inspection!

Post by: harris on August 26, 2006, 01:53 PM: have fun be safe :)
Title: Re: Bournemouth - HERE I COME!
Post by: Flying_fox on August 28, 2006, 11:22 AM: Dont worry about Bournemouth, its no where near as scary as Hayes first straight. Like Jazzy says the middle has been filled in on the big step-up.

See you in the Scout hut for Jazzy's hokekokey disco Saturday night. And the Hawks own media whore Tonydabutcha is on test the nation, so I think theres going to be a TV as well so we can watch that. Personaly I'll probably get very drunk and talk crap all night, then struggle to do anything that resembles racing on Sunday.

Post by: jazzyje on August 28, 2006, 08:46 PM: karaoke and test the nation.how sophisticated us hawks have become.i'll take two tellys so we can watch the butch without getting in the way of some awesome singing.

Post by: oldmankev on August 29, 2006, 09:39 AM: Hopefully there will be a huge turnout as this is the last Southern
Reg before the brits, weather looks good at the moment, so get
yourselves down the south coast next Sunday.
Title: Re: Bournemouth - HERE I COME!
Post by: jazzyje on August 31, 2006, 02:28 PM: sats,tony and i wont be going down on the saturday.the weather is forcast heavy rain all day.this will mean most people wont bother going down on the saturday and hence no point in me hiring a trailer to lug my pa and camping stuff down.hawks wont be there and neither will brixton.there will be plenty there on sunday but not being able to ride the track sat really means its a pointless and expensive two dayer.

Post by: LucyLastic on September 01, 2006, 12:24 PM: Was just looking at the website. Go to History / 1980s and look how flat the track was :shocked:

Post by: AJWD on September 02, 2006, 01:12 PM: Got hammered in football yesterday and can't move my head, so can't drive. Are there any other meets on the south coast that I can come too? I live in Brighton.

Cheers,
Adey.
