Thanks Gary, you are now the the Official OSS photographer Although this one of John looks like you caught him queuing up to get into a dogging meeting. It's got that wide angle lensed covert , behind the trees feel and John looks startled and nervous. Gottcha! - front page of the Sun. I hope not.....the one he is waiting behind is me 1 Quote Link to comment

bruteforce Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 (edited) Hi boys and girls, Sorry for my late reply, I got sucked right back into work you know. A big thanks to all of the OSS crew, you are all great people and very hospitable to someone like me that you have never met before. We had great laughs and I learnt a lot. I was particularly interested in majortom and meanbean as they were running their turbobikes on the track. I actually have never thought of running it in another fashion than a straight line. I'm not really the motorcycle-racing type but if you put me in a go-kart I usually set all riders back at least one lap. This proves absolutely nothing except that I apparently know what racing lines are and probably should just have a go at Cadwell trackday next year on the TurboGS. (OR I buy myself an old Slingshot and have a go on that.) Now I only need to do some thinking on making the turbo a little more corner-friendly by providing more ground clearance and some crash protection maybe. Will defo be back next year!

You live in Edinburgh, the apparent bike-theft capital of the world (or so I'm told); can't you just park it on a corner and let a pikey do the hard work? 1 Quote Link to comment
KATANAMANGLER Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 The Katana, unlike my other bikes, never gets parked on a corner. Quote Link to comment

KATANAMANGLER Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 He's decided trackdays aren't for him any more. Something about his tyres being let down and dog shit in his boots or some-hing, I doh-know. 1 Quote Link to comment
