well its close after two races but its advantage Australia , am surprised glen Richards is riding for the British team
i havnt looked at a map for a while but  Adelaide must be in the very very south of England , wait till i see him !

According to Glenn his mother was born in Manchester. ;D

Don't look a gift horse in the mouth Simon. ;D

half of Australia has a mother from manchester bear , anyway despite his manchester connection we are keeping glen !
another great event , there is talk of bringing the teams to England for a race at cadwell . it would go down a storm here .
although there are enough australians in the British superbike championship to make two teams  without importing any more !

With a 99 point victory to you blokes Simon I think we're gonna need him back. :o
I agree, a return bout at Cadwell would be a promoter's dream.

i was surprised  at how well the Irish team went , most of them had never seen the place before and they dont even have a proper race track back home
phillip island would have been alot different to the hedge dodging they are used to .

Yep, the thing I liked about them is that they were so friendly and happy to chat, good blokes. ;D

I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"
