He's going to the first round in Spain so as a pal here is going, I'll tag along.
Dave will get me some free passes ;)
I have a mate who's entering this next year too, he had a taster of it at Thruxton this year and liked it so much he signed up and has bought the bike already, from a mate of his who competed this year.

Andy won't trouble the front guys and, I'm sure, will be pleased if he makes it directly through to the final from initial qualifying.

Been racing with Bemsee for a few years, Minitwins and, latterly, in Thunderbikes.

Pretty sure someone I know from No Limits racing is in the BMW cup. Best check and see if he's doing it next year too :D (The main reason I wanted to be able to watch BSB from here - all of it, so that I could see the supporting races!!)
Life is for living. Buy the shoes. Eat the cake. Ride the bikes. Just, ride the bikes!! :bblonde:

Unfortunate that the first round of BSB clashes with the Le Man's 24 hour. Navarre is nearer to me (420 miles) than Le Mans (840 miles).

I get pit passes for both events, but think I will go the Le Mans event

Because I was riding at Maspalomas and then Jerez next weekend, I couldn't get to the Navarra round

Just been chatting to my pal and a few are having problems changing gear.
The engines were all built by same folk.
They're at the track and told them to use the clutch ;)
Duff auto blipper apparently.

Hmm

So pleased to see Danny Kent top Superpole. He's toughed it out the last few years.

There's only three Yamaha's in it and they've locked out the first row, I did think the Grilla bikes were going to knock him off the top spot, but he done good.

The R1's sound so much better than all the other bikes too.

My old racing pal in the F900 series, Dave Crampton is 63 today.

We all raced from Leeds and we're great pals with the racers from Leeds including Larry Carter (the BSB commentary dude)

Apparently he's been bigging Dave up on the commentary at Snet today :D
