    Went to Silverstone on Monday on the International Circuit (the one Ron Haslam uses) with Basil, I was in Int and Basil in Fast. At first we both thought this was not the right choice but by the end of the day I was wishing I had done the same as he was smiling and I was slightly frustrated.

    The weather was not as forecast with light rain in the air all morning with the odd shower, no impact on the surface but it had a big effect on people's heads. Once the sun came out the bad riding and crashes began!! Neither of us was involved though

    The afternoon session was nice and dry the only problem being that I was never able to go round any of the corners at the speed I wanted to because of slower riders especially people on 1000cc bikes who were fast down the straights but slow round the bends!!! That was me btw about 2 months ago, best thing I ever did was get a smaller bike it forces you to ride better!!!

    Think that's about it folks!!

    Anyone can go fast in a straight line, it's the bendy bits that take a bit of work
