Took my advice then Steve. Welcome to Bedlam.

Shan't be around on the w/e, off to Som / Dors if the weather is kind.
Have you noticed that anyone going slower than you is an idiot, and anyone going faster is a maniac ?

An official, but belated, Hi Steve and welcome to SWB!

Nice to meet you on the Loui's Cafe breakfast run on Sunday. And great to meet another proponent of the mystical art of motorcycle grasstrack racing :-bd - and doubly great that we were both racing at the same time so could swop relevant war stories :-bd :-bd ! Even better, Geoff Skinner, my old mate & passenger from those days turned up at Loui's and confirmed some of them :mrgreen: !
Hope we get to meet again soon e.g. rideout, pub meet, Moto GP at the Exeter pub etc. etc.
Triumph Sprint ST 1050.
