I have been
looking forward to this for a long time. As usual more time has been spent in
the workshop than I have expected. At the other hand maybe my wife likes oily
and sweaty men?
The weather
forecast on Friday was not that bad….
Well, the
weather men are like FIFA….Not to be trusted. So we had to wait until the worst rain had stopped
and the pikes had left the track.
I had some
time to check out the bikes of my competitors……and it looks like there is a serious
engine in this one….
So I
decided to play safe and use the Tribsa to get some fast laps….
My bike
pushers and handy men are relaxing and trying to spot suitable girls….
Don`t mess
with men that uses a Dodge weapons carrier to start their bike….
Oh yea…..The
BSA boys are ready to rumble……
At a time I
thought that it was game over…..The exhaust pipe broke clean off in the weld,
close to the cylinder head….Some steel wire made a good temporary fix.
And yes…..Those
two shady looking blokes behind the bike are my body guards….
We got the chance to ride a few practice laps….So
it`s Goldie time….
“Attention!
….Will all turn their heads to the left”
Electrical
problems stopped me just after half a lap….But the Goldie had a lot of power
when it ran. Let`s just say like the
Terminator: I`ll be back.
Have you
ever wondered how the view from the infield of a race track looks like?
The final…..Serious business…This can turn both ways, who will lady luck ride with today?
I do believe
that Lady Luck has a thing for bearded men….
