What happened to them in Thursdays race?
Are they OK?
I took the shell off my racing snail thinking it would make him faster.
It just made him more sluggish.

I'm glad that they are both OK, they are good lads but it always seems a bit dodgy
to me having 2 passengers on the bike. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Can't put this down to 'driver error' because deep down they are both passengers.

Glad you are both ok though, you were going well. Top 10 next year!

Anything that goes wrong!...not an exhaustive list but...

Crash = Driver Error
Breakdown = Driver Error
Passenger falling out = Driver Error
Running out of beer = Driver Error

You drivers need good passengers to make sure none of the above happen.

I recall a Driver being lost walking around Douglas once and asking me for directions....he was a big welsh guy, bit simple looking.......maybe you know him? :D

Listen here sunbeam, you need to get yourself sorted.
I remember that day in Douglas, Horst and I were looking for a fuel pump, we had to visit lots of bars and a curry house before we found one and then we lost it so we had to visit them all again the next day to find it.

You make a good point Alan, although you did get me a new lid which saved by head. Let's put that down to a wardrobe maulfunction?
