Mine only goes a smidge over that, then again with 13" wheels and a short ratio sprite gearbox it gets there pretty damned rapidly (I suprised the missus something mega on Sunday, she was following me on her bike..... )

Was it your speed or the bits that flew out of the exhaust and covered her?

Post by **d_harris** » Mon Mar 02, 2009 11:36 pm

Oi! Speed. And I *know* the speed I was doing as I have to use the satnav because I exploded the speedo.......

She has a CBR600F so its no slouch of a bike either....

Has anyone seen a 'decent/reliable' weather forecast for sunday?

I've seen;-
1) heavy rain showers - on the web
2) dry and bright - in the paper

Nobody answered the question of admission charges. In previous years they charged per passenger not per car. Not sure if they take plastic.

Can't make it this year, have to go to college this weekend!!

I know you want to know for definate, but can be pretty sure entrance will be per person. As for plastic, get a bit of cash out, you can't go wrong then.

Yes anyone wellcome to travel up from the south tomorrow from Buck Barn crossroads at the MacDonalds junction of A24 and A272. We will be leaving at 8.30am. By the way i followed you today in Littlehampton

Unfortunately i will be in my Austin Sprite rather than Braithwaite as it isnt quite finished yet.

Hi I'm in little hampton now. If you are what time are you leaving? And where from
Thanks alan

Hi Alan, I was visiting Littlehampton today to pick up some Morris doors i won on ebay. I followed you in my Red Toyota Pickup and i think you went into a college car park. You are more than welcome to join us at the Buck Barn crossroads tomorrow.
Regards
Jason

there was no test hill this year due to construction going on on the road when you come off the hill,a bit of a shame really.
