An amazing weekend- big risk that we were in the rainy season - rain held off- today it is pouring and we would have had a disaster. Fortunately there was one fall the whole weekend and other than bruising no real damage. I personally have never been so stiff in my life - I rode rode rode rode rode- it was great- no heroes just good riding and even a better party on Saturday night . till 02h00

Hi Dave
Yes, I was in the UK. I tried to contact you, no joy. I am still interested in the four stroke. I am waiting to travel to the UK again shortly, waiting on a business meeting. PS I am the good looking dude, sorry no photo's to back up my absurd claim, only action and still bike photos
Possibly we can meet. Please can you send me you telephone number. Thanks Gavin Williams

Crabman - the good looking one - Ha !!
He's the tall one looking a little crampled on even the CR 480 !

Yes, it was an awesome event. Quite a few new faces for us. We did a 16 hour Roadtrip to get there, 6 bikes in tow.

more later
