Thanks for the support from the visting smallframe posse today and yesterday Good to meet, Adam,Marcus and Hank/Jim in that order! Cheers to Jim and Hank on helping me change tyres and refuel for that last race- worth it eh! Fastest lap of the weekend goes to a vespa 90ss.And only a second or so behind Charlie over the line. Quite a good advert for the smallie eh! Just wait til i get brake on the front and get the slow speed corners up to scratch. Meeting Stoffi and Mikel? (that right Marcus?) was great. Really top guys and fellas I will keep in touch with. That crazy man stoffi was using a thumb rear brake on that pk! And both of em can ride a bike indeed. Everybody welcomed them and they got on great with us brits. Hope they come back! And last but definately not least thanks to Charlie Edmonds for the motor. This is an awesome thing and quite simply the fastest Vespa i've ever ridden.

thanks sticky. Good to meet you at last. I'm well pleased with the results from the weekend. Bike was excellent.I need to push a little harder here and there but generally i felt ok. A few suspension tweaks to come and i suppose i'll get a disc on it for next year as we spoke. That drum cooked a little in the last race. Cant be getting outbraked! Thats not on.

Tony, you sissy Before you swap for disc brake, consider following german country saying: Who brakes loses! ;D

No the race was shortened due to time issues. Circuit is 3.5km long. We normally do 6 to 8 laps here. Total distance up to 28km.
