bkeirle Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 Read it again Hawkins... Bren's on a bike. A Westfield corners and brakes much better than a bike... I wonder if Bren would be willing to let this ex despatch rider loose on his bike for a couple of laps Sure..as long as we operate on the you bend it you mend it theory...and of course.. I can take your westie round...just to compare it with mine of course..lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blatman Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 Have you never been before??? In all seriousness..Quite happy to give you a few pointers...and take you a pax lap..and IRL it is very different to GPL... Never found the time before. It's been on my list of things to do for both me and my brother for many years. And yes, I realise GP Legends doesn't give any idea about gradient and track condition, but at least I have a (small) idea of what might be coming next, if I don't get a mental block caused by abject fear, of course.... As for pax laps, I'm not a very good passenger in or on anything. It's a control thing. Going round once with Sabine will probably be enough Oh, by the way... Doohan says hello...

I am sure you will have a great time...I do..every day.. If you don't like pax laps & not being in control..Sabine is a strange choice for a ride ..lol..But she is definitely entertaining http://www.slidersguesthouse.0catch.com/images....54.html BTW Say hi to Mick for me...

Mark Purves Posted January 19, 2005 Author Share Posted January 19, 2005 Nice pics Bren looked at rest as well. I was surprised at Blatters comment as well re being pax. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blatman Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 Hey, I make no bones about it. I like the adrenaline, but I also like to have my hands on the vehicle too, so that I'm (mostly) the master of my own fate. I've done literally hundreds of thousands of miles on motorbikes, but I *hate* being a pillion. I'm not one for rollercoasters and stuff for this reason. That and vertigo... As for Sabine being a strange choice, I'm hoping to be distracted enough trying to come up with an original chat up line to be scared... BTW Say hi to Mick for me... Done. Mick was just telling me about an XJ1300, a broken wrist, and him calling your Mrs to tell her you were in hospital... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkeirle Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 Done. Mick was just telling me about an XJ1300, a broken wrist, and him calling your Mrs to tell her you were in hospital... LOL....Moral of this story..do not take for granted someone has seen you.......That hurt....Poor bloke was on his 1st ever lap..and about 500m into the lap when he got rear ended by me doing well over 120mph....

Pete Collins Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 Don't think I'll be able to join you all but - watched the program on the box last night about SpeedFerries who operate between Dover and Boulogne. I've just checked their web site for the dates you have planned and they come up with a return price of £50. SpeedFerries Hope it helps Regards Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
