Moto GP

I was lucky enough to be given some Paddock passes to the Moto GP qualifying at Donington Park on Saturday so I spent the day looking round the paddock and the pits. We watched the 125 qualifying form the Pit Wall!! Unfortunately press and TV only for Moto GP session, but we walked out to watch from the outside of the craner curves, the bikes are awesome and so quick. I have followed it for a few years, but never seen one in the flesh before - I am DEFINATELY going back.

Here are some of the pictures I took:

Dani Pedrosa walking to his garage before qualifying - he put it on pole by over half a second.

Racing yesterday didn’t go too well. Never even got the start line due to Dave’s brain failure relating to whether our bikes run on DIESEL or not!! An hour and half striping they carb in the mid day sun was fun though. Dave did well and led for a while, until……….yep the diesel found it way into the engine (he had topped his up with diesel, I had filled mine)!


At least my bike didn't need cleaning!


I also bought a photo printer last week and I have been printing masses of pictures that I have taken for my wall:
