I did notice a neat one with quite a large loud can on, sounded fab...
I also noticed the red GS12 plodding around. Fair play for having a go, not the easiest bikes to 'man handle' around a course like that...
Definitely got to get an 18 inch rim built up for the HP!

Trying to be a good sport in abject failure.
I got mud all over my bike.
Don't think I achieved anything else.
I did meet some lovely people.
In fact everyone was great.
Gutted I DNF'd though. I was too late back after my second lap and the gate was closed so I wasn't allowed to go back out for the last lap.
My wife was surprisingly keen on the whole thing considering I had to beg her to come.
I recon I might have been quicker on a smaller bike, but it's the rider not the bike as we all know.
Thanks to everyone who helped me pick the bike up. Happened a couple of times at least.
Sorry to anyone I got in the way of.
Must try harder next year.
Hope to see you all again soon.

I don't count two laps on a GS as failure, I think you did a bloody good job.
Two laps on a pogo, on the other hand......

You where on the biggest bike there and running TKC's - the HP2's where on more aggresive rubber.
Some of those climbs required a lot of grip and there where plenty of trails with dips and whoops that took the full travel on my bike and must have been a real challange on the 1200.
And although we did find you wedged in a rut, we also saw you powering up the trail snaking and ripping in a way only a heavy weight can
As for not making the 3rd lap I think that was down to not knowing the timing facts not your ability.
The other thing I noticed was the complete lack of 11XX riders... Tossers

Didn't know you were that good with photoshop.

Bleedin' cheek!
Cheeky sod! I've got plenty of witnesses to the taking of that photo, plus the original in high res. It was taken by a bloke called Mark Bow who doubled as the video cameraman. I was glad not to be doing it with the car-width panniers on board though. I kept catching my leg on the bloody things in the dunes before I swapped bikes.
