I've only gone and done it (1 Viewer)

[csd4t]

Well with early retirement/redundancy talks ongoing, I have finally got me a Hymer. Plans are afoot so watch this space.
I have started a blog (not that I know what I'm doing) should be at https://fredsbreadbintravels.wordpress.com/
Mainly to keep a record of what I'm up to for friends and family.

We have a wordress self hosted site, so I assume it is the same? Click on the top left of your account. From the drop down menu chose dashboard. Dashboard appears and about half way down you see comments section. Click there and you should see my comment awaiting your approval.

Once you reply to it, I should get a message...I will let you know if one comes through. It should be a good way of testing things are working for you x

I remember when we set up our account it was mighty confusing but bear with it, it gets easier. Any questions just fire away. We are travelling at the moment, so if I dont reply straight away, I am not ignoring you just no wifi access.

Attached a few photos of what our screen looks like..hopefully yours looks something similar.

I reckon the reason for the chair is just to carry the drivers balls ! Need huge ones to push an outfit round the track.. Mind you the weight of the big sphericals is off set by the removal of the passenger's brain ( cos I am buggered if I would be ballast on a racing outfit !!! )

In about 1983, young Ron Haslam took a break from GP racing to passenger his brother at Cadwell. In between my races, we went down to hairpin to watch.
First lap all the loons came hurtling in, all slid round and shot off, leaving Ron sat on his arse on the track.
He took a bow as he got a massive cheer.

Ahhh.. back in the days before he got all up his own importance then !!

Got a picture somewhere of me on a TZ350 on about the 4th row at Croft, on the front row is Ron Haslam and Roger Marshall on TZ750's round about 1980 I think.

I always thought he was reet down to earth.

I had the bloke spitting feathers about 14 - 15 years ago.. Why ?
Cos he had a dolly bird on the back on a track bike at Donny.
This was at a novice day and he scared the pants off a mate, albeit ligit race move but a move that had no place on the track with all total novices
He did the same to someone else and I got the hump.
I for the rest of the session deliberately held him up.
He was two up on a 600 and I was on a slightly ( ! ) altered Bird.. By the time he caught up to me into the every 'next' corner I was all over the place and he just could not safely get past

After the session I walked off to one side.
He came screaming over almost frothing at the mouth and wanted to know what total W"^%*er owned THAT bike..
All my mates were laughing fit to bust by the time he left the scene !!

IMHO nothing scarier than an outfit on full chat on the IOM.

A different breed altogether

Yes it's pretty fast and also flat out for much longer than the solo guys. Out of union mills then on the stop until the 30 sign at greeba castle about 7 miles I think (I shut off for ballascarey but the top men don't)
