Oliver's Mount this weekend - Give me a wave!

I've been granted number 34 this weekend for the race-bike parades at the Barry Sheene festival

Give me a wave if you see a fat bloke frantically slipping the clutch on an old RG500 GP bike or bouncing over the jumps on an even older (and even less suitable) R90S.

It was a brilliant weekend at Olivers Mount, although the rain tried its best to make scary circuit petrifying!

At least one of the two bikes I took started well, didn't foul 4 plugs and didn't (under subsequent strip down) show a cracked swing arm. For once a BMW was the most reliable bike!

It did lose something in excitement stakes to the RG tho. Chasing a TZ750 over the jumps in the power band of a proper GP bike takes some beating
