Hello

Just got back from racing in Spain. Really want to get out on my bike - the weather is rubbish at the moment. Anyone got any suggestions for a ride out? maybe at the weekend if it's dry?

Thanks

Jimmer we are only messing mate and its only because he kept avoiding the questions.

Maybe you could clarify Jimmer whether Lone Wolf does race abroad or whether he was meaning he was trackdaying, thats all i was asking.

If he is offended by any of the banter i for one will apologise to the chap. [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

Well maybe he should sell one and get a spare set of leathers then - as for trying to blag he was racing that week shame I knew there was no way he could be! His so say pics were crap and could have been anyone. Why can't he answer a question when asked so no wonder no-one believes him! [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

I dunno, why his pictures are crap or about leathers( but he does own the bikes) not that bothered really.Best off luck to Rob(Lipton) at the weekend be careful cause we only have one bike one helmet and one set off leathers :-?

Sorry for the delay. Yeah Yeah very funny!

My Alpinestar leathers are damaged from a crash and are currently waiting to be posted to Italy to be repaired. My other leathers are still sitting in Focused Events offices because they damaged my Yammy in transit! and are trying to fix it. I only have one pair of bike gloves so had to do Wotton in my snowboard clothes on Sunday...

I just do track days, not racing, not good enough. Jimmer who you know? ;)

Rob had best get himself some sponsorship then or dip his short arm in long pockets if not good enough to be sponsored :P - little accident in practice and can be a costly wasted weekend :'(

good luck Rob [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

As I put a post up not long ago from a sponsor looking for riders but no replies - sorry too late as sure its filled now and our place has as far as I know exhausted the sponsorship budget. I agree getting sponsorship isn't easy the better you are and the more publicity you show the more chance you have of getting it - things like photos, videos and even names in signatures. Does help knowing the right people and being ballsy to ask (no I don't do sponsorship so don't ask!) Just to rub it in I'm just waiting for my new leathers to arrive from America - how come I got them...because I asked ;D [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

Doing write ups and stuff like that is what it needs - get a website set up - if both hands are busted get someone else to type! Send a few tickets to prospective/ current sponsors - won't work with big places but smaller like it. send then a racing cv - pictures of the bike and sponsorship here - photoshop thier logo to the bike etc so they can see.
Nah they won't as they're custom made lol ;D
