Put me down Tony.  It was a right laugh today, I really enjoyed it.  I cant believe I won a couple of races! The only bummer was the hour it took me to clean my bike tonight.

Morning Sam, congratulations on your first win in 20 years, Its a bit of a shock seeing you win a race again, who would have thought it 6 months ago!!
The racing was brilliant, I know we aint quick anymore, but how close was our races, and Lee was the most improved, even winning the motos, good to see 796 put some effort in for a change, Im sorry I couldnt finish a race, I really do need to sort my health out, mind you if I do, your gonna get a run for your money!!!

Great day, Daggers next in 2 weeks!!!  :4_17_5:

Tony put me down for that one.

Very happy with my second placing but want to try for the number 1 slot.
You are right though, the races were very close. Just need a bit more stamina (funny my  missus says that too)!

After the end of feb, I will be finishing a two year term in charge of a group im involved in, then I intend to dedicate more time to riding and getting fit. Hopefully I can then at least finish a race, its embarassing not getting round, I still think like a 16 year old when im on the track, I just wish my lungs would listen :2funny:
