@stevesvids Hi, no I didn't know you were with that lot until I saw you in the video, I was Googling looking for pictures as the ones from the official were rubbish and I saw several other people with big lenses! See you there next time!

[stevesvids]

Markypea.........thanks for posting your vids up and for the chat. See you at the track again some time once the bionic bike is rebuilt....we have the technology !!!

Cheers buddy

P.S. Renaming Stowe corner to" Steves Corner " !! ;-)

@markypea

Thanks for link - they emailed me the blog . but thanks anyways. Did u know I was with that lot. I got the track photograpers pics which are much better. Gotta bit of proper knee down action.

Speed ......Im only guessing my speed by what others told me they were doing. 2 x blades said they were doing 140 down the straight and i flew by them, guessing 160. They said i scrubbed about 40 off before tipping in. So somewhere over 100 at least...I never look at speedo ever !!

[markypea]

@stevesvids That is fast, I just looked and the fastest I tip in is 85! At least you walked away from it, shame it was the end of the day though. There's a couple of pics of you here blog bahnstormer co uk/?p=743 (had to remove the dots)

@markypea

No collision !! After i stopped tumbling that guy was there. He must have been around me somewhere when i lost it. I came down the fast straight into Stowe down from 160 to about 120 (maybe - not sure...but v v fast). Good body position chest down on right hand side of tank, knee out...going well...apexed too early.....that threw me wider on the exit. Hit rumble strip, stood bike up, onto astro turf, high side, ground sky sparks slide slide slide tumble slide, roll, slide stop!

[markypea]

@stevesvids Ah, I thought that you two had collided and gone down together. Did you highside coming out to end up down there?

Check me out at 13:57 - leaned against the tyre wall in red leathers

Yep thats right!! The dozey twonk that ditched it in Stowe and got the session red flagged. Sorry to everyone in that session for cutting it short and thank you to the guy that stopped (off track with me) Cheers for your help !! ;-) Owe u a beer !!
