Last Friday at Prestwold circuit - a sight was to be seen!
Unusually for a level-headed PLOD - a certain member of this forum rose to the bait - big time!
2 second gap behind a new blade - gained over a single lap!
So out our intrepid warrior went.......determined to close or beat the 2 second gap
After what appeared to be a reasonably quick lap [1;15;30] - 90 seconds later, said "anonymous Bird Rider" appeared over the horizon - back straight - heading toward the chicane - flat on the tank - wringing it's neck
Funny sight of 4 people leaping off straw safety bales in earnest as said "Bird Rider" headed straight for them [phooking me included!!!]
Down the box - 5-4-3 - hard on the "linked and unbraided" stoppers.........
........heeling in towards the chicane
Still far too fast so dropped down to 2nd and boy did the back end "twitch"
Lap time?
4 seconds quicker than the Blade Baiter at 1;13;57
Not bad for a lunatic GrandFather :bow: :bow: :bow:
and he wants me to ride pillion?
Not a fecking chance!!!
