All I did was offer a ride to a kid that was fascinated with my engine. This was at one thirty. After that a queue spontaneously formed and I didn't stop until quarter to five when I dropped my fire to go home.

Engines are for driving not polishing - I enjoyed putting my engine through it's paces. Over the weekend I covered 23 miles, climbed loads of hills and explored all the paths. Brilliant event; thank you Michel for letting me in at short notice.
