Bugger, no way! Wires got severely crossed somewhere along the lines then. Apologies for that I honestly thought there was at least another hour to wait. Feel like a **** now

I suppose the next one is in somewhere near the north pole?

Cadwell, October.....

[harriebird]

well i had a fantastic weekend. i came into the paddock screaming after qualifying on saturday as i had played cat and mouse with zimbo, it was such a buzz.

for me it was the best weekend (in terms of being happy with my riding) since i rode at brands.

i was actually racing this weekend rather than circulating at the back on my own and getting frustrated, which was just brilliant. my starts are improving, now i have to get some balls (oi Spikey!) because the first corner, which i am now reaching at the same time as everyone else, is ****ing terrifying

i've decided to sell my body and definitely do cadwell, porridge and pasta over the winter it is 8)

thanks for all the ducatisti support, it makes a BIG difference when you know there are people cheering for you! and it was great to see a few EBers too

[Brian]

Sorry i didnt make it there to watch

So how did you do then??

[nogaromill999]

Orderly queue for the said body for sale please chaps, there isnt a lot of it to go round ! You REALLY did well Harrie, and we could see a definate CHANGE in your attitude to riding, like you said, you were RACING this weekend, and your last few lap dice in the second race was better TV than Stoner buggering off and leaving the rest ! Well done !

As Douglas said, it must have been the weight of filth that he wiped off the bike that made it quicker !

Dan, we got a picture of all the ducatisti bikes lined up on zimbo's camera, hope it comes out ok so it can go on the homepage!

thanks everyone for hanging round and shifting your bikes

I only did the tea. You've got Douglas to thank for the cake - much appreciated by many.

It was good to see a couple of familiar faces and some new ones from this site too.

I had a bit of a shocker of a weekend after an off into the "carrot patch" on Friday and a siezed engine on Saturday. I was happy to walk away with a couple of points at the end of it all, and just a few bruises and aches.

Roll on Cadwell. I like it there so hope to do a little better. Hope to see a few friendly faces again. Zimbo commented yesterday just how many people there were in and around team DOH. Keep on turning up please.
