I assume you won't have your niece on your shoulders next week? ha ha, no although as crazy as she is I can imagine she'd love to be on the back when her legs are long enough...not so sure my sis would be too happy about it though Quote
cleedubber Posted May 3, 2009 Author Posted May 3, 2009 Picked a ramp up today...hence why I didnt make it to Cadwell So will be in my van....with tools, fuel cans, cooler for drinks and cooker to make bacon butties so I dont have to pay crazy money for food at the cafe Just hope the dodgy forecast turns aroundOne days it fine , next day its raining Quote
Korben Posted May 3, 2009 Posted May 3, 2009 Yeah, not looking clever with the weather at the moment, but saying that 3 days ago it said Monday was going to be glorious here and it's raining pretty much from 8am onwards now.... Quote
cleedubber Posted May 3, 2009 Author Posted May 3, 2009 I knowJust a case of waiting to see what happens on the day I guessMetcheck says it will be good BBC weather says rain Quote

TC Posted May 6, 2009 Posted May 6, 2009 Same here Going to give it a miss.I really hope it does clear up for Dubber and you have a great day on the track Quote
Korben Posted May 6, 2009 Posted May 6, 2009 Yeah... Hopefully you will have the same weather we have in Derby... The odd very very light shower and slighty cloudy... Bloody windy here though.. Quote
cleedubber Posted May 6, 2009 Author Posted May 6, 2009 Hi guysYes the rain for the most part held off, was windy though....however I had a calamity of a day, involving a forgotten key and a buggered wheel bearing which meant I missed all the morning sessions and only got out in the afternoonPeople were binning it left right and centre, it was bloody carnage, at least 2 to hospital I think, so only actually got 2 full sessions.... was just starting to get the feel for it ......and day overBugger.....so looking at booking the next one now Quote
rennie Posted May 6, 2009 Posted May 6, 2009 at least you and bike survived mate!i had wheel bearings done last time i had tyres!was it on one of your spare wheels?strange! Quote
cleedubber Posted May 6, 2009 Author Posted May 6, 2009 at least you and bike survived mate!i had wheel bearings done last time i had tyres!was it on one of your spare wheels?strange! Thats it, all home in one piece, and I had fun, so main objectives achieved, just wish had got more time on the trackYes mate, it was one of the spare wheels I got, so wasnt chuffed, was fine when it went on and test rode it, took it to the pits for noise checks etc etc.....half way round first lap...that noise from the back end you hate to hear.... hey just one of those things....the original wheel is back on now, so had to get the tyres swapped over , and I'm going to do bearing changes on them all now...just for peace of mind Quote
Rosie Posted May 6, 2009 Posted May 6, 2009 glad u had a fairly good day..... I ended up grouting tiles Better luck with the weather next time.Not looking good for me for Santa Pod this sat Quote
