  1. Not a Club crash, but somewhere in there is Fujigas
  2. As detailed here Time limit cut to one minute per section (from 1.5 minutes) No walking the sections on the day Top riders no longer last to ride. Bou will be first man away in Spain I have my own thoughts on these, but what do others think?
  3. That's it sorted and on front page now
  4. Results eventually received, but in a format that won't convert to PDF for publication. Dibs - 18 Brown - 28 Morris - 38 Sorry to those in the other classes patiently waiting, but it's been a long day, I've tried several times to convert the spreadsheets, but they won't play ball. I'll try again in the morning when not so tired

    That is such a non-starter! After so many years doing the job, can you really see Caz working for someone else even on a Consultancy basis?!! There would be murder.
  6. Cracking day up at Kinlochleven today. Rare sun made the the mound an absolute pleasure. Bet it's back to p***ing rain come first week in May though Dave Willoughby normally sorts results and he has a 3G Dongle he uses to email them straight away. It works really well in terms of getting things quickly. Dave wasn't available this weekend so Mick Wren was covering. Poor Mick doesn't have a dongle so we still await final results. My photos are uploaded and awaiting results to accompany them. Video is currently being sworn at/worked on. This is my first Trial of the year and, having upgraded to Windows 7 during the closed season I now find Micro$lop don't include Moviemaker with Win 7. Moviemaker isn't the most complex of video editing products, but for getting video online fast, it was perfect for my needs. Following online advice I downloaded the Vista version of Moviemaker, but it doesn't like the output files from Canon video cameras. I'm now in the process of giving myself a crash course in Corel VideoStudio Pro. Patience is a virtue - or so they say
  7. Spanish World Superbike at Circuit de la Comunitat Valenciana Ricardo Tormo Sunday April 11 2010 World Superbike and World Supersport race report Round Three Weather: Dry Temperature: 20 to 25 ambient, 29 to 46 track REA TOP FIVE AGAIN AFTER TWO SOLID FINISHES Championship leader Leon Haslam (Suzuki) and Noriyuki Haga (Ducati) took the wins at the third round of the Superbike World Championship but two gritty rides from Jonathan Rea (Hannspree Ten Kate Honda CBR1000RR) put the Northern Ireland rider fifth in the points. Jonathan went sixth in race one, fighting a lack of front-end grip on the notoriously fickle Valencia tarmac. The next best Honda finisher, Max Neukirchner (Hannspree Ten Kate Honda CBR1000RR), was 13th. Both riders improved on their qualifying performances, with Rea seventh in Superpole on Saturday and Max 16th. Race two only lasted for three laps before a crash involving two riders on the main straight stopped the contest, leading to a second leg over 20-laps and an aggregate final result. Rea had been second in the first race and restarted from that place on the grid. Vittorio Iannuzzo (Squadra Corse Italia Garvie Image CBR1000RR) was involved in the crash that stopped the first running of race two, and hurt his right hand and ribs in the crash, ruling him out of the restart. He also crashed at post 2 on lap 13 of race one, losing the chance of scoring points today. It was a hard day for another Honda rider, as Sheridan Morais (ECHO CRS Honda CBR1000RR) did not start the races, having had a painful crash in warm-up this morning to add to his big fall in Superpole 1 on Saturday. He was declared unfit by medical staff after hitting his head on the tarmac, but he did not suffer any serious injury. Sheridan had been 20th in qualifying, the last rider to make it into Superpole. Sofuoglu Second In Race and Championship At Valencia In finishing second behind race winner Joan Lascorz (Kawasaki) today front row qualifier Kenan Sofuoglu (Hannspree Ten Kate Honda CBR600RR) has put himself second in the championship, after 23-laps of changing fortunes for the leading riders at Valencia. There have now been three different race winners this year, but for Phillip Island race winner Eugene Laverty (Parkalgar Honda CBR600RR) there was to be no chance to turn his pole position here into a win on raceday. Laverty was fifth, not having made the best tyre choice and slowly dropping off the pace after leading the race for the first five laps. The current top three in the ranking are Lascorz on 65 points, Sofuoglu on 61 and Laverty in 41. Chaz Davies (Triumph) was third today, and now sits fourth overall, on 33 points. Gino Rea (Intermoto Czech Honda CBR600RR) overcame some serious issues in qualifying to take sixth in only his third Supersport World Championship race. He had been 12th on the grid, and overtook one last rider on the final corner to earn ten points. Eighth on the grid, Michele Pirro (Hannspree Ten Kate Honda CBR600RR) could not find good grip at the front and fell on lap three, remounting to finish 11th and score some points. Miguel Praia (Parkalgar Honda CBR600RR) rode bravely despite a heavy fall in practice, losing feeling in his left hand through the race. He recovered from 14th on the grid to 12th, the last finisher in a race that returned many no-scores. Massimo Roccoli (Intermoto Czech Honda CBR600RR) was one such rider, who fell heavily when he encountered a technical problem. He was taken to Clinica Mobile for medical checks but is not thought to have suffered any serious injury. SBK Rider Quotes Jonathan Rea, Hannspree Ten Kate Honda: 6th and 5th - 5th overall.

    Must have brass then. I know from Caz how much that cost and that was BEFORE the economy went pear-shaped...
  10. Hold down the CRTL key and twiddle your mouse wheel up and down till it's back to the right size. Note - only twiddle your mouse wheel. If you twiddle something else you might need large writing

    Makes note to take most embarrassing photos of Ishy possible first week in May and to pay somebody to photoshop some if there aren't any.

    Bloody hell Jen. I remember you being in a pram. Of all the people I expected to respond you were not amongst them and make me feel incredibly old!

    Am I alone in being disappointed in the "premier" of this? Was out Monday night so only got round to watching it last night. Was really looking forward to it, but in my opinion they've tried to emulate Band of Brothers too much. BOB was groundbreaking television, despite its historical inaccuracies. Watched my BOB DVDs till I virtually wore them out then gave them to a mate when I got BluRay. The Pacific just looked to me like a poor clone with a similar, but weaker story:(

  19. The opening round of the 2010 FIM Motocross World Championship, at Sevlievo, Bulgaria, was a tough one for the Honda riders contesting the senior classes of motocross racing. The highest-placed representative on the day being LS Motors Honda rider Davide Guarneri who finished the MX1 GP in 10th place overall on his CRF450R. The grand prix was held in clear weather conditions with a warm spring sun shining on the perfectly prepared Sevlievo circuit on race day after a little rain dampened proceedings during practice and qualification. However, the added moisture helped mould the track
  20. The Cairn O' Mount (B974) has been closed for a while due to a crumbling bridge, but you don't get told that till you get to Fettercairn. There are no signs previous to that. Traffic Scotland website is having probs so can't see on there if it's open yet, but I would doubt it. Better to go up to Stonehaven and head across to Banchory rather than take the chance and have to double back if it is closed if heading up from south.
