I'll be back next year, but I'll get there earlier, and will have more of an idea of how to access all parts of the course on foot.
I'll make sure I'm there next year, no going out on the piss the night before.
I've heard that before :D

Very nice, but I bet it steers like a supertanker... And brake calipers mounted ahead of the forks - that dates it.

I like that a lot. In fact I think I might have had a model of almost exactly that when I was a kid.

But it looks like it's in Sellafield and I've already been up there before to buy a vehicle, so I'll pass.

For a second I thought the front cylinder exhaust was routed into the spot lamp.
