Tipped up in the paddock, early doors, and it was pissing down………… the Awning roof was nearly caving in with the amount of water that was sagging in the canvas, managed to get it all off then when Juan tipped up it was down town to get some wood to fashion the roof so it wouldn’t happen again……… That Kinnish fella can turn his hand to anything.

Did a spot of fettling and got one of the bikes through scrutineering and the other one on Robbie Silvester’s (Of VRS Performance) dyno to try and get the midrange sorted…… and on the dyno graph he’s made a good improvement, all there is left to do is go out and try it…… it should be loads better.

Went for a lap in the car with Ryan Farquhar and a newcomer he’s helping, Andrew Neil, and the weather was really shite I have to say…… Talking of shite, the road was closed from Ballig Bridge to the Cronky-Y-Voddy straight, because the sewer had blocked up and there was shit all over the road…… nice!………… went down the Starvey Road and rejoined at the end of the Cronky and continued the lap………… It wasn’t too bad in some places but up on the Mountain it was desperate…… visibility was down to 40-50 yards and it was chucking it down…… we knew then that it would be cancelled………… they couldn’t run it in these conditions……… and if they did, I wasn’t going to go out in it…… not gonna learn anything, probably just end up scaring yourself.

Got back to the paddock…… the bikes had gone through scrutineering, just in case, but after a couple of delays over the tannoy, they called it……………… and the whole session was cancelled…… Oh well……… Hope the weather improves, but the forecast is crap the rest of the week too…………… bollocks……… Bit of a wasted day really.

So, tune in for hopefully, a more exciting episode………
