  1. As long as Garrity doesn't take someone else out on one of his "enthusiastic" passing attempts.
  2. Adam's riding with a fracture in his right hand
  3. Adam was born to British parents and has a British passport. When he won at Marmande last Monday the club gave him the option of god save the queen or le Marsallaise on the podium Let's just say there's nothing better than hearing the British national anthem being belted out on French Independence Day !
  4. Maybe the ref should have looked at the two photos that showed the rider next to him touching the rapes with both his front mudguard and his helmet peak. Then gone to specsavers... Didn't matter really. Just fired Adam up all the more.
  5. slightly biased i know but well done Adam, great nights work, shame i wasn't there to witness it
  6. I've supported ipswich for a few years now ( obviously ) and although i haven't followed this particular incident too closely, I take anything said in public ( by either riders or management ) with the biggest pinch of salt imaginable. Riders have ups and downs and sometimes the different between success and giving up can be measured in millimetres . What's said in public and what goes on behind the scenes are two completely different things. debate is a good thing but experience tells me that whats on here is rarely the full picture. I hope you guys turn it around for the rest of the season.
  7. Tuners are engineers , it's not just a case of bolting bits on or they'd all be doing it. You can bet that as soon as the Gerhard engine goes on general sale, every tuner will but one, strip it down and start looking on ways to improve it.
  8. Cardiff should be ok, There's a full 20 heat meeting behind closed doors next Tuesday to test the track. It's the best GP in the world, they're leaving nothing to chance.
  9. Probably not at 50 years of age which is why my son now rides and i've stopped.
  10. Well done Brummies, great win on what was thought to be a tough challenge, need to sort out the reserve berths though.
  11. It's being dyno tested at the moment, i think it's just going to be used for grass track/ long track to start with .
  12. Because of this site and social media etc, you tend to hear about the injuries more . In "the good old days ( where TWK et al live) by the time the carrier pidgeon had brought the news of an injury the guy was back on track .
  13. Many riders arrange a mechanic to meet them at the track, only the well sponsored ones can afford to pay / have their mechanic paid for by the club. Adam got the call late the previous night and had to drive from Birmingham back to near Wimbourne, get up early and clean his bikes , suit etc before setting off again at lunchtime. He put a shout out on twitter and a mechanic was arranged, nothing unusual in that .
  14. the bike took out the first panel, he took out the rest, a bit sore but he'll live
