quite surprised as nothing has been mentioned about mr experienced tyre warmer episode to be honest, but we'll wait and see on that...
?Now?
I didn?t mention the tyre-warmer episode because you?d been
very brave (all day) and we didn?t have any tears or tantrums, even though your back was poorly. I mean - even if it
hadn?t been, you still couldn?t have kept up with me, despite the fact that my gearbox was throwing cogs out at every other corner ? but that?s another story!
No. I?d decided to do the honourable thing and withhold the news that, when we?d gone for dinner in the circuit caf?, you?d left your front tyre-warmer plugged in? Not just plugged in, but plugged in and switched ON.
You?d thrown it nonchalantly over your nice little Honda?s seat, which, after about forty minutes of unwelcome electrical warming, began to smoulder, thus attracting the urgent attention of the lads who (very, VERY fortunately for young David) had decided to consume
their consumables in the garage. If they
hadn?t been there and able to act quickly, young David?s little Honda would have graduated to become a full-blown Fireblade ? with the accent on the
FIRE element, I hasten to add!
They dragged the (literally) red-hot warmer off the bike and, as it was too hot to hold, threw it onto a nearby plastic chair: MY chair,
which immediately began to melt. Thus, or so I was led to believe, the previously tranquil area rapidly subsided into a mass of screaming, hopping, wildy gesticulating leather-clad apes who had suddenly realised that they were surrounded by cans (full of petrol), motorcycles (full of petrol), melting plastic
and an electrically-fuelled, almost-beyond-control, fire.
All because a veteran of a hundred track days was ?out to lunch?.

Surely, that was the right and PROPER thing for me to do?? :neenaw:
