Here are some of my (belated, 'cos the photo lab lost the film for a while) pictures taken by myself of folk on the Mountain and by Mel Reed of folk at Hall Bends. Sadly the pictures have become rather blurred when scanned, but you get the idea.

Alan Frame running for his life

To start, here's a piccy of me chasing McFrame through Hall Bends. Notice the particularly inventive line I'm taking with the intention of stuffing Alan into the Old Hairpin ;-) [1]

Saveloy Boy wrestles a Tiger

And here's Mik Reed on a much more appropriate line....

Information....Position....Speed....Gear....Oh bollox to it.

Me on yet more inventive lines, this time hunting some unknown person on a ?CBR6 with an L-plate (who are you?). For proof that I can actually take a correct line through Hall see the bottom of the page.

Ribbit!

Andy Bryant gets some expert instruction from Kermit.

<fx> very VERY LOUD exhaust

Jim Gillespie on his NC35 at the Mountain. Jim let me loose on the RVF for my last session and it was an absolute scream. (A rather painful scream actually, for my back, knees, wrists, neck....)

C'mon Sol, you can get higher than that

Sol gently lifts the front wheel of his TL1000S over the Mountain and narrowly avoids a tank slapper. Well, it's a TLS, they all tank slap Sir....

Roger, pre broken leg

Roger Ford on TDM250. 'Nuf said.

DL, R1 still intact

Dave Lippett doing what Dave Lippett does best. Two months later that particular R1 had had it's gearbox rebuilt and had held up a bike trailer that didn't like a bump on the way into Cadwell Park :-(

Scrape, spark, grind....

Here's one of the professional photo's taken by Peter Wileman of me scraping the engine bars on my Tiger. Whoopeeeee!

[1] This didn't happen [2], but it's the thought that counts....
