Big Bike Bash, if you're not there…..

Pah! You do not know of what you speak! Ducati's have chocolate cams and cam belts. no good when you're using the bike to commute 80 miles to uni through winter or tour germany france and denmark. The r1 does all of the above with so much more style than a bag of spanners 😛

The jump!

And I though you were a women of taste. Nothing cant beat the feeling to ride a duke trust me specially not a R1… Mind you they are after all bikes for girls 😉

I had a lovely email from RudeBoy!

"Thanks to all who organised BBB we had a great time and thanks to WCA for remembering Joels autism and having a little chill out bit for him, lovely. Joel had an amazing time and I have never (honest) ever seen him so happy or relaxed." (a post from me)

Brought a tear to my eye. For that alone, I know it was worth all the tremendous and selfless effort put in by everyone involved. That's surely what it's all about.

What a nice chap.

Simple.- I think you might know my brother.
He does loads of bike trackdays on his black ZX6r track only bike, owns a couple of 'blades. He tows his bike with a black Passat estate witha yellow 'No Limits' sticky in the rear window.
Lucky git also owns an Imprezza trackday car , and occaisionaly rides his Scott Genius MC30 around the Peak District. I think he is off touring Scotland this week on a 'blade. Alright for some.
Didn't see you at the BBB, hope you enjoyed it.

Singletrackmind –

Didn't see you at the BBB, hope you enjoyed it.

Fabulous fun, still giggling now. I was on an orange bike and wearing an orange top..or in a bikini on the podium (a mistake in heinseight..but understand that if i put my top on it would go see through in the boob area ha! and it was cold!)
If i saw your brother id' probably know him. He's likely to have seen the girl on the GPZ500s taking the pish. Is he an instructor? MY nolimits sticker fell off, they're not speed proof.

Hoping to do Cadwell in September with nolimits but need to get the shoppingtrolley through it's MOT first and i'm too busy playing on my Marin.

Juan – the cheek! Ducati's are nice but no good if you want to do mega miles..or keep your hearing. r1 now has over 50000miles on it which is nowt for a car but you rarely see a motorcycle with over 30k on it unless the rider is nick Sanders.

So what do you have..I can see you're a ductifetishist and illinformed haha 😛

Lake jump video is funny, from the start of the run up it looked like he only just went off the end of the ramp >whinces< I think Juan even let out a girlie 'eek' 😛

PS is your brother single? lol Got all the toys

also which magazine/s are piccies expected in? 🙂

XC Race 18+ Fun Women 1 Lap
Position No.
1 D045
2 D064
3 E043

That explains why women I overtook were on the podium then! I did 2 laps, must have missed them saying it was only 1 for women and then the chap with the clipboard said it was 2 laps when I went through the finish line the first time. Oops, never mind,I was enjoying myself and according to the other half I was second back of the women that did 2 (he thought the ones stopping after 1 had given up !)

Nick gropes man in Lycra.. He did say big prizes for winning 😉

any other caption comp viable photo's

Juan – it's supposed to be women who like a big thumper between their legs, steady on chap.:P

See you are new here so I won't reply ;-), just to save you some embarassment 😆
Actually not 😉

Next time you are over to the continent to tour with your nut box come over down to the south east let me now I'll make sure you get a lesson given by my "big thumper"…
😈

I did 2 laps, must have missed them saying it was only 1 for women

Me too! Glad I wasn't the only one 😆

I am pretty sure that on the start line the ladies where told they were doing the same number of laps as the men. My wife raced for three laps in the open category, no one mentioned that she could have stopped after two, although she was helping Juan pace himself around the course. No prize for first (and only) single speed lady, that category disappeared – to think we could be walking around in matching Sue-Me t-shirts.

@ Simple

Yes! I believe he is at the moment . He is deffo not an instructor tho. If i can find the piccy online , there is one of him flipping into the gravel as his bike cartwheels away from him.

Orange bike ? Can't remember that, remember running around like a loon when the Prodigy was played by the DJ.

Now I know you're saying that fairly light hearted, but it's soooooo far from the truth. Modern Dukes have a 7500 mile service interval, and a lower recall rate than BMW. What's the service interval on the R1? 4k?

That aside, you really are dreaming about the style thing…….

🙂

Bow in front of peter once again…
Jason I though I was the one giving louise someone to chase 😉
For BBB² I'll come with something lighter than 15kg 😈

Juan, she said she kept trying to get rid of you, but every time she looked around you where sat on her wheel 🙂 Thanks for making sure she was ok on the night race.

rofl at jason

this was my first ever race as a competitor and i really enjoyed the chilled atmosphere, the course was a challenge with big wheels around those turns but fun all the same, the real ale was awesome as were the bands, i especially liked how WCA arranged the battle of britain fly past and the vulcan flyover
2 1/2 pints before racing in the sunshine probably wasn't a good idea or drinking at 10:34 onwards (as the cam exif says)

all in all i thought it was a great weekend, sorry for late post as i spent the remaining week in Dorset without t'internet

P.S. did i win a prize?

simple?

if it is i think you passed me (as did so many others!)

Regardless of ducati service interval spacings a ducati with a home mechanic and no dealer service history is worthless because mostly (not all) ducati wanters are snobs and want near new. Fair enough but I dont trust anyone else with my bike. Oil change every 3500miles. no big deal. it drains while you clean it/adjust chain etc. Don't bother with internal stuff until you can feel something up. leave it factory sealed.

Rocketdog – no that's erm not me. 🙂 I didn't pass many people.

singletracmind – lol @ ur brothers picture, photographer's never in the right place when i gob it. If you're referring to outta space… twas my request *Awsome tunage* I was the one skipping glow sticks until 1 am. ha!

the air show was awsome, the vulcan being the highlight, never seen one of them fly before. I live in lincoln and uni campus is next to the RAF base (Scampton) where the red arrows are based. it's sweet air shows daily. 🙂

ah, no probs, thinking about it that lady didn't have a Brummie accent, then again i'dnot have noticed if you did as i have one myself and i'd have thought it was normal 🙂

rOcKeTdOg – thats me, it was my first go at racing too hence the odd choice of bike for XC racing 🙂

oh, sorry for accusing you of being a Brummie!

Well I'm not quite a Brummie, born in Bromsgrove, parents farmed on the Lickey Hills before moving to farm by The Malverns just after I was born. 🙂

ah, Bromsgrovians are a race all to themselves!, i live 5 mns ride from the Lickeys, not quite up to the Malverns though

Been by the Malverns for 33 years now, so not really a true Bromsgrovian 😉

You change the oil every 3500 miles :O Even angela can keep her oil for longer…

Juan, I choose to change the oil every 3500, book says 4000 but you can hear the oil is tired after 3500, engine is a little loouder etc.

Oi I dont talk like no saft Brummy,
I'm from Coventry my accent is a huge mix of lincolnshire, sheffieild ish, brummie, black country and geordie.. just because of the people I spend my time with and I pick up accents realy easily..tis baad.

Simple just sorted out your drag race prize! You nearly lost out I need reminding of things, you should have pestered me!

Ooo what did I win? I need some touch up paint. it seems marin orange is softer than specialised grey. Ha! another mad mountain bike weekend has been had. I also need a new lid Tree 1 – 0 Simple.

whereabouts do you live Soma_rich? might take my girly motorcycle for a spin and collect?

Simple I think it was some Middleburn vouchers. Steve/Matt will be in touch. Well done you!

dont think Middleburn make helmets though 🙁

simple I live in the south of France if you want to visit 😉 I'll teach you how I ride my girly bike 😉

SweeeeEEEeeeet.
I've just taken my wheels to local bike shop to be made up. woot!

need a new middle ring aswell. niiiice.

Juan – I've been to the south of france. been there done it?
I have a job next summer (after) uni escorting people on laps of the nurburgring… i'm not sure you'd want me to rape your little lady ;). If however you do, have you ever been to the nurburg? OR how about a lap of lovelly cadwell park. both are fabulous tracks to give ur duke death on.

Track, paa that really is for girl my dear 😉 Plus I have just no idea what the nurburgring is sorry :(.
What about cols 😉 Start easy if you want, la bonette and then back by la cayolle.
Then la bonette/larche/la lombarde and more to come 😉
But then I don't really want you to get scared 😉
Plus I don't own a duke… Well yet 😉
