Mines not orange. That van must weigh a lot more going home.

You can take the lad out of Liverpool.....

That was mine.
Been trying to get rid of that for ages. I don't like the colour.

I was also impressed that several of the Wiltshire boys used the suspension services and seemed really pleased by it.

Young man! I’ll have you know, when you get to my age leaving the house with matching shoes is considered a result.

Dear All

Belated thanks to all the RTTL crew who made the weekend so successful - I trust you all enjoyed yourselves and have recovered - especially those who did more days than they initially planned...Weather was a bit mixed to begin with but by the end I think everyone had a decent share of dry sessions. It was a great event for us - our instructors worked really hard and we've had some great feedback. Highlight for me was Sunday afternoon - watching some of the boys in the fast group putting in some quick laps - unofficially timed at very low 59's. Nice to have a chat with you on Friday and Saturday evening. Trust the ''newbies'' have now got the bug and am sure next years event will be bigger - where ever it may be. In the meantime ride safe and enjoy. Regards Alan, Phil and the team @ PBTD's and Pembrey Circuit.

A bit of footage from the little 390 for anyone who's interested.

It's on the Friday, and is the session after my off , I'd just bent it straight(ish) and was taking it a bit steady for the first few laps at least and there is hardly any traffic so it's not too interesting TBH, but it does show how much space you get on Phil's days with the reduced numbers.

Aside from @singlesman (I think) on the out lap, and another bike at approx 13 mins , you don't really see anyone else the whole session, which I think is likely as there were only a handful of bikes out there - admittedly it was still a bit damp in places and was spitting a bit when we went out, which I think probably put some off.
I've got some from the Saturday as well with me on the 890 too which will feature more of the gang in it so will have a look and maybe upload some of that too if it is less fuzzy than it always seemed to come out on the (same handlebar mount) on the 765.

Was that in the dinner break.

Yeah, pretty quiet eh- one sesh on Friday I think there was just me and Kev out, may have been that one, can't remember but the rain or threat of rain definitely seemed to dissuade some Friday peeps.

Here's a bit busier session from Saturday with a fair few of us out in it I think, albeit it still doesn't look exactly busy.
I've got another vid of me following you for most of the session- just let me know if you want it and I'll stick it on a memory card or something as it's 2 or 3 gigs- unfortunately, its the same (shit) quality as this one though, I really need to sort a better mount ( and put more gaffer tape around the mic )

Quality riding sir, making it look easy, and hitting every apex with a clear track
Don’t think I used the same bit of tarmac twice in two days of riding

Why is Tricky out in Novice group?
