Was talking to Lloyd this morning,i've still got the article that was in PB magazine about his bike with PFM discs on,but i'm sure before he broke the bike up,he was running on GSXR 750 discs.

Chris - nothing in there now about Smithy's bike I'm afraid. A dodgy pic of our lot at the Melbourne View Hotel though. :D

Peter - there are none of the Ashbourne w/e I'm afraid. I may have a few pics kicking around at home but I don't have a scanner any more. :(

Maybe someone else here has? Although tbh I think there aren't many of us left, who still post, who went on that w/e. Talking which I must get in touch with Malc - haven't spoken to him for yonks.

Cheers Rich,there the same as in the article,just got it in my head,think he got through two sets and then put gixxer 750 ones,but Lloyd reckon i thinking of the shock spec he had :?

7 years ago jesus!!

If i rememeber there's apicture of Nigel cleaning his(pauls) bike out the back of the hotel sunday morning.

I haven't seem Malc in years,last time we spoke he had the phone in the car on speaker with his mom and dad in the car and i was fffing and blinding, :( ,and i think with two kids and business to run that as they say was that.

What ever happened to Stempy??

Plankton Pete,i bought my bodywork of him,i remember him nearly giveing me a heart attack when he told me how a month his mortage was.

Re Smithys bike Lloyd had the shocks and bits and bobs,the wheels and brakes went to Canada.

I reckon your reckoning's correct Peter - those there in May 2000 I think were:

Yourself
Me
Tim Last
Mal Titmus
Nigel
Malc
Martin Kemp(?)
Chris (who popped over on the sunday)

Can you remember any more?
