Well, I went to Silverstone (WSBK) to see Max fall off and most of the the others come to that, weather was good around the track but not at race time.
I can say that I never saw another MM,(was anybody else there?). Talked to one bloke and who saw my tank bag had MM on it but thought that only 3 1/2's were ever sold over here. At least he recognised the Logo.
My son bought the tickets and in the deal he got the Pit Pass, for 3 of us in total. £50 for the ticket and £35 for the Pit Pass. The Pit was open from 11.05 until 11.30, so we watched the 1st Super Stock race and with 15 mins to go we tried to catch the shuttle bus to the pits, by 11.15 I left Jamie and his mate to it, as the bus had not arrived and wandered back to my seat to see the 1st Wsbk race.
The lads got to the pit at 11.25 and were not allowed in, so questioning the G4S man he said, "I suppose you watched the 1st race then".
The Pit Pass cost £35 each, non of which we were able to use. £105 in total. So beware if are going to a race at Silverstone make sure you understand the in's and out's of your purchase, obviously the bouncer knew what was going on as he concluded correctly why we were late.
So I've been to Donnington, Silverstone, Mallory and Oulton Park, but have also been to Assen, Hockenheim, Monza, Nurburg, Coleraine and Le Mans. We I go abroad to the tracks I seem to have no problems, no issues, no rip offs, just fun. (forgot Dijon, sorry)
Anyway the Corsaro was superb on this trip, I can say with absolute pride that I adore my bike.
Hail, downpours, floods, German car drivers all were taken in it's stride, no faults, nothing electric failed, wonderful. Saw off a Street Triple south of Lancaster on the road to Carnforth and an MV on the A43 to Northampton.
Which brings me to my topic for tonight. What is it with this Bling on Audi, Merc etc? Is it fairy lights for the Rep's or is it a way of enhancing the "look at me" image of bland, look alike, German cars?
I would like to say "God Forbid" we have the same on our bikes, and I'm sure some will do it. It may be a forced issue from the Eu, like don't change your silencer, or be shot. No insinuation here.
Off to post a picture of my new inscrutable wavy discs.
