Farleigh Castle 2012

In a bid to compare apples with apples can anyone elaborate on who was faster and on what?
As far as I know Ballard was on a twinshock Maico and seems to have been on the pace in the over 50’s class when the bike was running.
So if guys were 15s a lap quicker were they younger guys (mid thirties?) and were they on Pre 89 bikes or were they also on twinshock bikes?

Yes Twinshock bikes and pretty much everyone is in their 40's and 50's.
Each team of 4 is allowed 1 rider over over 35 and the rest over 40.

Geoff, funny bloke, looks like John Cleese too

So true....I've always kept the John Cleese likeness to myself thinking nobody else could see it, dismissing it as yet another quirk of my obtuse version of reality. Thankfully someone else finally sees it......Basil Ballard OAM

Did you get your money Simon?

Yes thanks Steve. Love to Ray and Tanya. Missing my new buddies already  :'(

I told him I thought he looked like Cleese and he just laughed and said that he was a big fan

Geoff was more or less on the pace, certainly top 10, the field was closing in with Bell visibly the fastest rider on the track in the over 50's.

Stickers are you trying to look fast?

[crankpin]

Ooops they're still on my desk. I'll put them in the parcel with Rays stuff far ya Steve. There's some extras in there too.
