No but I live for racing

After all the constant financial stress, more broken bones than I care to remember and relationship pressure, I wonder if I'm just addicted or mentally retarded?

I like both tracks, the fence is a little daunting at Symmons Plains and tipping in to the sweeper at full noise. Baskerville is a buzz commiting to the turn at the top of the hill without even seeing it

You don't mean my stoppie that went too far and had me pinned under the bike when in pole position? Thought people had forgotten about that

Is it rude to laugh loudly at this point?

Probably. I'm gonna do it anyway! Classic.

Posted: **Mon Nov 20, 2006 1:22 pm**

Stereo, I think by now John's heard em all over this one! But it was a corker!!! I was in the pits watching out of the garage at about a 45 degree angle. I was gobsmacked at first!!! On pole too!!!!!!

Didn't the clerk of the course have a hissy fit over that one John!!!!!

Mind, is it as embarrassing as flipping it over the hill at Wanneroo in a vistory celebration wheelie on a 125???? Wasn't that Waters????
