    I still watch it, just on the off chance that it returns to the form when Senna, Mansel, Prost, piquet etc drove. where they actually overtook people, and in places that they shouldn't really be overtaking, like the tunnel at Monaco, really was exciting stuff back then. I still hope for that everytime i start to watch it, but by lap 4 i have usually fallen asleep.
  2. I gave it to him in the watering hole after the trial
  3. I doubt you will see anyone just by driving by. I should be there not this weekend , but next week end, if i am there and you want to have a look and a blast on the bike, just let me know and i will arrange a meet with you.
  4. Yes it would be good, i have replied to your PM Magicmat. firestarter you would be welcome to try my bike as well, it would give you a feel for a couple of different bikes.
  5. Hoyland is just before Birdwell or the M1 j36. Yes i am a member of Hillsborough, good set of lads even tho i have only just been to the meets myself. If you are coming from Ecclesfield towards Chap, when you get to Chap round about go straight on past the GT news agents up the hill over the motorway bridge, then back down the other side, after a couple of miles from chap, you will come to a railway bridge and a dip underneath it (great dip at speed in the car in the opposite way, all 4 wheels off the ground) immediatley after the dip there is a few cars for sale on the right hand side and a garage called the lidget, with lorries behind it, that is where you can play on the bikes. If you can't find it , just email me and i will take you there one day, nothing extreme there just a good few hours out on the bike.
  6. You think i am lying.. But it is 100 % true, i am the envy of all my riding buddies The mrs has just passed me a Now that is a lie, as i am at work. ill be home for 5 with a waiting for me
  7. I asked the same question a while back. I don'y think you can get in . Its all the guys that gave Andy the support to start the site, they throw ideas around before putting them on to the site or not, well thats the answer i got anyway.
  8. Is that just off Stocksbridge by pass ? If it is, thought they was getting the big diggers in there or do ya mean in the woods ?
  9. I live near you, i go behind the Lidget, between Chapletown and Hoyland, there is about 10 people i know of that goes there, never had any trouble there. Also high Green woods , but i know the police sometimes go there, i have never seen them just heard thats all. You could also go along to the Hillsborough Trial club, they have some good trials, they meet at 9pm in the White heart at Oughtibridge every Wednesday.
  10. I am a very spoilt boy. I call the mrs ten minutes before i get home, she then runs me a bath, she hears the car pull up the drive , so she then opens the gates and hands me a can of STELLA, already opened as i do not have the energy to open it, i throw the bike in the Garage and throw the clothes to the mrs, where she then puts them into the washer. I then crawl upstairs to get into my prepared hot bath full of RADOX muscle soapy stuff, where i comatoze for a while, then the mrs shouts me to see if i am ready to get out yet , so i say "nearly dear, just give me 5 minutes", so i then attempt to get out of the bath and put some clothes on which the mrs has already got ready for me . i then head down stairs . The mrs will then hand me the remote control as she will have recorded Moto gp, and has it ready for me on pause, she then hands me my Sunday roast with another can of Stella. how luck am I
  11. LMAO, Yes Dougie Pumpkin was there and riding. And boy did he know about it. It was the hardest trial i have done and only the second this year, i was absolutely knackered, still am come to think about it. It wasn't that there was anything big, it was just energy zapping for me, then you see the likes of Sampson, Thorpe and Pearson and they look as if they was just spectating with not a bead of sweat any where to be seen, everytime i took my helemet off, there was steam coming off my head to rival the best SAUNA's in the world! What a day though, it was mega, dint finish in time and missed the last few sections , but i will definatley be there next year, did the last 7 sections on the 1st lap with no back brake, i rode better without it . But when we went to refuel for the 2nd lap, managed to get hold of a part to fix the brake Told the lady of the house that i need to practise big time , i probably get out once every two weeks, told her i need to get out 5 times a week from now on, but she is not having it for some reason.
  12. Fantastic i nearly with laughter
  13. Resource Analyst for a large telecoms Outsourcing company. To determine STAFF and space requirements for contact centres. To ensure shift patterns are aligned with demand. To ensure contact centres are resourced to the required level, whilst maintaining commercial viability. Basically analizing incoming and out going call traffic within one of several call centres, to make sure that we have enough staff on the correct shifts at the right time, planning staff going forward for up to 12 months in the future and producing forecasts. Not very interesting but it pays the bills.

    I am no Hayden lover myself. But a win is a win, so congratulations. He will need to remember it because he will never win at again !!! Absolutley fantastic win by Bayliss. Well done !! You kicked ass in style. Here is to next year.
  15. I had some problems once with a Mont, dealer fobbed me off with you should do this , that and the other, called Sandifords in turn they called the dealer to sort out and hey presto, the dealer called me, came round to my house, picked the bike up and returned it the same day all problems solved.
  16. Steady on Sat night. Not for me!! we are having a party , so think i might be a bit rough on Sunday , i ll let you know how i get on or not get on .
  17. Hi, I tried everything, seems i had spyware,adware,malware eveyf**ing ware, hijackers blah blah blah on my system , got rid of some of the problems with the things you guys suggested, but not all, think i had "cool web search" on the system as well, tried using something called CWShredder but had no joy there, in the end i had to give my computer to a work colleage who formatted the hard drive for me as i have no idea how to do it myself. I would Just like to thank everyone for their efforts in trying to help me
  18. Yes i went, didn't do very well, but had a real laugh, was pleased with my 4th attempt at section 10 which i cleaned at last, only just made it before they started pulling the flags up, think i got about 65 marks. how about you ? Off to back cowm tommorow, then next week doing another hillsborough trial, 1 st time i will have done a road trial, really looking forward to it. Are you doing it. Sounds like you had a real blast on Saturday.
  19. Did you go on Sunday ?
  20. Made me smile, watching PEDROSA take Hayden out, not smiling at Haydens bad luck, just that PEDROSA made the mistake of all mistakes, i mean taking your team mate out. And what a time to do it, whilst he is leading the championship I just don't agree with all the hype that surrounds Pedrosa, like i have said on the Post " Rossi, Can he beat Hayden? " i do not see anything more special in Pedrosa than i do Hayden !
  21. I know Raga and Dougie are definately going to be there.
  22. Ok, i ll ring ones of the mates to see if he is up for it. i ll let you know.
