Cheers for the tip off Bill, but already got a discount thanks ;)

You didn't think I'd pay full price did you? I'm 1/4 Scottish you know! ;D

Aye Pat,

I knew about the 25%, but wondered what the racing was like?  ;D

My regards, Bill.

The racing is this weekend Bill. Weather is set to be good and we're still planning for an early start tomorrow (Sunday). Getting all goosebumpy thinking about it, especially hearing that BSA Rocket 3 again. The thumpers are great, the twins can sing but is there any sweeter sound than a triple on full throttle?

Yup but being as this is a family site I will not go into details...

Hoping to be there Sunday

Met up with Pat, his lovely wife and two smashing boys at Aberdare and we have had a great day's racing.

Cracking weather, close racing - especially in the MZ's  though Ian Lougher seemed to clear off in most of his races.  Some wonderful sights and sounds - Including Chris Swallow (Son) of Bill putting on a great show against many modern bikes on a Manx Norton.

A throughly good day was had

Here here to that matey ;D great to put a face to a name too. Only downer for me was the lack of my beloved Rocket 3 :'( still can't have it all.
Some great racing and although the field did get a little stretched on times, there was still the odd shoulder to shoulder battle going on. Doubt Mr Stoner would of approved though ;)

Nope no Rocket 3 and no promised cuppa....

There were a whole bundle of R3s at the Classic round in Pembrey - maybe we should go and listen next year?
