    Its a factual observation - yellow flag is being waved, we slow down a bit and see Andy off at side of track!

    I told him yesterday he was up for nomination and he thought he must have been up for 2 awards for the number of fingers he held up.

    Christ no entrance last year and 2 by Mid Feb

    Numpty twat for me number 2

    Spending 3 hours ( 2 yesterday and 1 after work today) trying to work out why my bike won't start. Only thing I did was fit the fairing and........................................ remove teh tilt sensor.


    So after charging up my original battery, remove the lithium one. checking the kill switch 3 times, most of the wiring, all the fuses 3 times. looking over the bike. Muff suggested that I ensure the Tilt sensor is fitted correctly

    Ahhh yes. 30 seconds later it started


    AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH NOOB

    Never say never Mike. We all thought Blags was a shoe in last year until Zee started channeling Ewan and Charlie.
