Jason.. it's a .Small World'. It was 'Young-Man Spencer' on the 'Scooter' at the Strata Florida Hill Climb. I was second up the hill and it was pouring down,.. thankfully we got to have a second run,.. in the 'almot dry' and I did ok .. I was the 2004 MotoChallengeGB,.. you must have been on the 1st one. I loved it,.. and did ok. I bought my Bandit for £600 on eBay, stuck a pair of BT020's on it and changed the oil, ... I still got 3rd place Overall and won the 'North Challenge' outright, .. which pee'd off a few people with 'Proper Bikes'. Yes.. I did KnockHill, ..... didn't like it much though, .. and not just the bloody midges. They employed a 'No Overtaking In Corners' rule,.. and when your on a 70,000 mile Bandit 600, ... you aint going to pass too much on the straights. I was in the fast group, so just let the pack go and posted my own times, .. so managed to stay in the top 3,.... which I thought I needed to do to win th 'North Challenge', .... but then in true Nick Sanders fashion, .......... they didnt include the KnockHill results in the final scores..... bugger. That meant I had to 'Keep my Feet-up' for an bloody eternityat Kelso in the 'Slow Riding' contest.. but hell, ... I do 'Slow' really well.
(Oh yes,.. and Paul Mundy went on to win the MZ 250 Series that same year, .... and Brands had been his final pre-season testing session).
I'd do it again,.. if it wasn't for a visit from the 'Skint Fairy'
why can't more services be like that.
