Could've been Harry I guess?
May even have been the guy from NI who bought my (and Paul's previously) last one. He's well into his racing.

Well it was,nt bloody me thats for sure!
Already pissed off not been able to go,get a phone call from Mr C at the the ferry port.He has only bumped in to my Le Mans party buddies.After explaining my predicament to the boys i hang up and suddenly feel very very sad that i aint going.I try every avenue(apart from hiring a bike,too exepensive)trying to borrow some wheels,all to no avail.Best bet was Mr sheene(graham)who was well up for a friday nighttime run to france.Except his passport had run out!DOH!

I felt like the kid from the film home alone,my surrogate parents had upped and left me.I would have been well looked after this time too,as uncle Lloyd and kerrie went.
Oh well there is always next year.Look forward to getting the full story soon.

Yup, it was me.
What a great day Saturday was eh? Just a shame it had to piss down on the way home on Sunday (yet again!). Still, it wouldn't be a Le Mans trip without a damn good soaking somewhere between Abbeville and the M25.
Did you see my mates Ducati MH900E hailwood evolution that dumped the entire contents of the (choclate) oil cooler all over the road? I was left as chief translator with my limited franglais. Ah bonjour monsieur le gendarme le huile eh? c'est casse! etc etc
Actually, it was a shame you didn't come and say hi cos I'd left my pillion pegs at home (what a tart) so my mate had to come home pillion on the Harley which was the slowest bike on the team made even slower. We'd have paid good wedge just to borrow some 1100S pegs! I won't make that mistake again.

The whole weekend was great from where I was looking, it was our turn to get a good soaking dashing for the early Monday feery out of St Malo. We did see the MH900 but not the oil slick, didn't know where to start looking for you tho.
Pegs were not available as none of our party were on their S's (and mine hasn't got any anyway) so we would have been no help at all.
