The OMCC Double-header at Snetterton

[Scotty]

And lo, the intrepid WBs ventured forth into Norfolk to try out the new Snetterton 300 layout...

Scotty and Star got there first and bagged garages 11 & 12 for the WB posse, defending it against all potential intruders...

The garage gradually fills up. Note the guys unloading the trailer in the background - they resolutely refused to occupy garage 13, staying firmly on the other side of the invisible dividing line..

Curry time in the Rose of India - a most excellent time was had by all (who'd arrived by then)

Wednesday at 06.30, a misty start, with the promise of warmth later...

It's easiest to bring your own chairs for the Hog Roast (that had a whole pig, fancy that... ;))

In the circuit bar after the Hog Roast, it's 20.15, dark outside, and we're all knackered!

Despite his best teapot impression, Ade can't catch Lucinda's eye, she prefers MCN... ;D ;D ;D

Nice pic's there Scotty, How is the knee now BTW ? hope it was ok so you could make the most of the diminutive R6 :D

[Scotty]

Cheers Simon :) No change with the knee yet, hopefully surgery will sort it out before too long, a necessary evil I'm afraid, but it won't improve any further until then. Thanks for asking :)
The R6 was great fun once I got the hang of it (where's the power?), though it's crying out for rearsets, my toe sliders took a hell of a battering on it ;D ;D ;D Top little bike though 8-)

[silly_simon]

Glad you enjoyed the day regardless of the knee ;) Guess what Halina's getting for christmas then :P :P

[Scotty]

(Whispers) Thanks for the idea Simon, I may just do that...

Didn't need it but it was a good marker to find the right garage!

[Moo]

JUst got my bike back and its much much better!! Electrical problems slowed me down but were a good excuse on the day!! Roll on Spain, 4 weeks to go [smiley=vrolijk_26.gif]

[Scotty]

Electrical problems huh? :-? Dodgy sensor, stick coil or something maybe? Who sorted it for you, and did they tell you what it was? Does that mean that it won't sound like a Triumph triple at full chat now? ;)

[Moo]

Got it fixed by JHS in Bristol, main culprit looks like overenthusiastic use of the pressure washer :( Will probably also explain why the battery was losing charge so quickly too. Sounds really sweet now and revs right out. Much as I like my Triumph I prefer my Blade as a four rather than a triple. :)

[Harry87]

Really enjoy reading the captions :p Could you not get any pictures of the going around corners?

[Scotty]

...not really, with only a point and squirt pocket camera. There was a professional taking photos on the second day, they're on-line here (http://www.fresh-orange.co.uk/)

Top Pic's Si & G, well done! looks like a top couple of days! The weather was fantastic :)

and you Mr Scotty on a 'baby' bike....you sure you can handle it??! ;) ;D

Roxy x

[Scotty]

Yes indeedy, it was really great 8-)

"Baby" bikes are fun, you can take many more liberties with the throttle without the fear of being launched into the next postcode, but overall I prefer mine :)
