Ah, Tim Sayers, now let me see, if I remember correctly are you not the authorative on machine preparation? It was you, wasn't it that bought an FZR 400 and never heard it running before setting off for the seaside and isn't it true that a fully sponsored 600cc ride (including a machine of your choice) was offered to you but is Sarah still not confident of your ability to compete at that level? Or does the 600cc Manx GP clash with her planned shopping excursion to Meadow Hall?

I wish to pass on my full respect to you, since you must be the only person to have obtained a national licence, using a different machine at every meeting!!!

PS - Where's my 100 quid - t**t!
