Heh, if anybody asks, my knee sliders were scrubbed at the last track day. Not, ahem, at the last roundabout... Honest Officer!

Hi Geoff. Seems like we're of the same era. I was in the East Grinstead Motor Cycle Club in them days and was a travelling marshal at the Lydden Hill Club races on my Bonneville. I was talking to my brother last night who also did some marshalling on his Tiger 100 and he said that he was stopped by some marshals who asked if we were brothers. He said yes, why? They said it was because we had the same riding style and they wanted to know how we drifted the bikes round the corners. He said he didn't know he was drifting. I said it reflected more on the capabilities of the Avon Speedmasters

Anyway - gotta go, MotoGP's on now and then work!

We've all seen the guys on MotoGP getting their knees and elbows down but skip to 1 minute on this vid and check what this guy gets down...

I've done that too but I don't think it counts, as by that stage the motorcycle was a short distance away...

Yes Ian, sounds as though we are of a similar age. Most of my bike days were 1967-1970 as, firstly a sprog, and later, SAC RAF Blanket Stacker then Air Movements.Ahhh happy days, nice to hear from you, enjoy work, I'm off for a quick VFR round Lemnos, maybe a quick tussle with an HAF F16 or RF4

Regards
Geoff
