I never watch them look slower than I am fast camera blokes ha ha half naked Andy ah your eyes ok ??? Ha ha
I was stood next to him at the time with my back to camera and then later off camera when he pointed to the tattoo of his dons name.
Well oulton park WOW what a track but wish I would of had some time there never being there and how technical it is I struggled but I had a goal to get under a 2:00 min lap first time there . Qualy was manic didn't really get a clear lap in but wasn't too worried I got 24th out of 39 so not too bad but well back couldn't see start lights ha ha . First race I got a 7th in class lost 2 places last lap after missing gears and getting a false neutral gutted 2nd race I got a really good start went though middle of pack and followed Owen round for 3 laps until and felt really good missed a gear at hilltop couldn't get into gear didn't want to get in the way so took the chicane about 8-9 bikes went past I found a gear carried on but over 10k clutch was slipping so just short shifting and kicking myself Feel a bit dissapointed but got a 1:56 and think I would of gone a tad quicker if I didn't have issues but a cracking weekend with all my hottrax boys and girls thanks too many to mention but you know who you are your brill . Thanks to all my friends and family for coming I really appreciate it love you all My partner Mark Thompson you done really well mate a bit if bad luck but you were pushing kidda proud of ya Rob Herbert cheers for help even with your dodgy digits Cheers Dave Wedge dad for taking camper back and you and mums help xxx Thanks to all my sponsors top stuff

Ha ha cheers Jimbo I will conquer the 1:50 on my blade hopefully wicked track and he's still a bumdar cheers buddy
Well croft amazing track amazing weekend tyke had his troubles bit jumped in with me on the Sunday . Qualy I was 20th out of 30 in the rain so wasn't that bad as I'm piss poor in the rain . Race 1 was wet so I had getting 3rd in championship was my goal so just stayed on the thing got a 3rd in class so happy enough . Race 2 drying bit damp patches everywhere decided to stick drys in which was the right choice but a little river running across a left kink was a arse clenching moment . 2nd in class . My clutch issues were making me not use QUICKSHIFTER as slipping in 4th and 5th but was rideable Saturday night beers beers and a curry with my team mate our dads and some friends cracking laugh . Sunday Yorkshire tyke came to play on a gixxer 600 from back of the grid Race 3 mark got a flying start and nearly took my leg off the fooker ha ha so I stuck with him he was pulling away in the fast stuff but I was catching him sunny in and sunny out and in the complex . He was dragging me around and we were passing loads and passing back makers his back end was all over the shop I was gonna dive inside on the hairpin but didn't wanna t bone my team mate and Id had a right laugh perfect our lap times nearly identical 1:35 I was chuffed to bits with that . Race 4 I got a stonking start and knew I had to give it some as after 3-4 laps I knew my clutch was gonna start going I went from 20th to 9th into first corner and done 3 cracking laps I could feel the back end spinning up coming out sunny out I was riding like I should of been all year loving it . Lap 4 total clutch slip every gear couldn't get power down I was gutted I was going to pull in but thought sod it few passed me and mark just gutted it went on my last race but I've had a fantastic season and got 3rd in the championship with 469 points . Big thanks to yorkshire tyke as he got me moving as I should be my lap time was 1:35:42 marks 135:46 brilliant time
