Hum dinga of a day :lol:

CB and myself went down on the FJ. picked up Piglet at Podimore and met Noel down at the strip. After not very gentle persuasion from Biscuit Boy, I took the big lardy Yam up though scrutineering and went to get my number and cough the readies when I was told I couldn't play cos I didn't have my driving licence with me :cry:

I had my toy camera in my pocket and did my best to get some pix of team Z1OC-SW. They're not great but they're all we've got -

Here's our valiant piglet taking on a Nitrous enhanced Gixer

Image

Here's Noel giving it his all:

Image

Here's the first of his spectacular wheelies, by no means caught at it's highest :lol:

Image

Noel has bought a new side stand from Vance and Hines for his 'arris :lol: :lol:

STOP and THINK - Did the guy on the Gixxer enjoy it any more than you did? You looked as happy as a pig in shit to me :lol: sorry about the metaphor :lol: Oh alright it was deliberate and I s'pose I'm not really sorry :lol:

How do you measure pleasure :lol: :lol:

Good on yer Noel, and perhaps I'd be better off (and cheaper) loosing a few lbs..... :oops:

Must admit, if you got too serious with this sort of thing, it could spiral out of control pretty quickly :roll:

But......... :twisted:

Those are still pretty good times and speeds Pigford, especially for a crap track. Good on you guys for giving it a go and just having some fun, but you`re right it is a slippery old slope, you always want to go that little bit faster.....and then ker ching!! Oh dear, where has all my money gone? And why does my road bike suddenly have an air shifter and need to run on race fuel? Doh! It is very addictive, be careful out there......
