  This event is on the calendar, thanks Big Zed   http://www.bikermatch.co.uk/sites/bm/events/event_details.asp?event_id=3523                                                                                                                                                                             

  16 people indicated that they would be at this event   I was there Saturday * and met my mate Dodgy Jim but no BMers   I was clearly visible wearing my KISS T shirt, hat & shades   I was there Sunday with XK but saw nobody else   If they were there then they will know what a fantastic weekend it was   Good weather, fantastic racing on a special track   Those who didn't attend missed the treat of the year   Still no photos on the calendar   Did anyone else go   Did they take any pictures   I took some again, I'll post some when I've got time to put em on the PC and sorted through them   But I was mainly occupied with videoing   On a brighter note   Thanks to Double Six, PCGuru, XK, Rider In Black and Dodgy Jim   Your company at my little barby "house warming" party was much appreciated   Thanks for making the effort, I'm sure you feel it was worth it   We'll do it again     * after a breakdown on little Yam and getting a lift off my neighbour                                                                                                                                                                                 

Fabulous to see pictures of Robbie Sylvester out on a bike on Ryans parade lap! i never thought id see him put his leg over a bike again after the terrible injuries he got a the TT in 2006                                                                                                                                                                              

Sorry I didn't make it on Sunday, bit of a family crisis, dad rushed to hospital with suspected heart attack. He's 86, and has had a series of strokes over the last 3 years, so was a bit worried.  He's ok though fortunately. 

Glad the weather and racing were good, shame I had to miss it.                                                                                                                                                                              

Well those who 'found summat better to do' (exceptions duly noted)missed a really exciting day out. The punters get to stand within a few feet of the track; u can almost touch the riders as they come hurtling past on a track no wider than u cud spit over. And the smell of the castrol.... The entire track is so small that multiple viewpoints are possible with very little legwork. Bit of a rally atmosphere wiv trade stands and grub stalls.   This was my first visit to Ollies Mount, but it sure wont be my last. Thanks to Emzed for being my 'guide'                                                                                                                                                                             

  That's a real shame Barbara but hope your dad is OK now   It seems to have been "the" weekend for family crises   I'm uploading some pics for those who didn't make it   I know a lot of them "look" the same   But to those "in the know"   They do show the variety of "lines" taken through the same corner   Especially at Memorial   Apologies for the dubious quality of some of them   Also apologies for the lack of sidecar pics   But I've got some footage on video and I'll "capture" some stills and upload them at a later date   Meanwhile enjoy what I've uploaded, I suspect it's all you'll get                                                                                                                                                                               

The photos in no way represent the 'action' No disrepect to Emzed, but u gotta be there! I nearly had a coronory wiv the excitement!                                                                                                                                                                             

  You're quite right XK   The photos in no way do justice to the "electrifying" atmosphere   The sounds and the smell of Castrol R   Can only be truly appreciated "live"   Even the videos I shot in July and this past weekend aren't adequate enough   But watching them, if you were there, does serve as a "trigger"   When I eventually get them onto a DVD   I may be able to make some copies* available  for those who are interested   * Christmas
