ManxGP 2012 - The Start

Pulling out for the sixth Manx adventure
Focussing on the process...
Not the outcome

Through St. Ninians, jump, bullying the bike around
Because your life depends on it
Flat-out through Kirkmichael
Thunder booming off the village walls
Just feet away, the scenery flashes past
An old flickering movie
Honky-tonk plinking away in my head

Bikes tooned, tested, tweaked 'n tied-down...
Everything packed, stacked, racked...
I'm feelin' jacked!

Ah yeah!

Manx Poetry

Tonight I sail for the Isle of Man for teh manx Grand Prix 2011... my brother Nic sent me some well wishes peotry:

"On the eve before you disembark on yet another adventure.
I wish you all the best and well.
You know of the cunning and guile the wee Isle can turn up for one.
But you cana be put out by that.
Visit the fairies.
Have a great ride, and enjoy.
Would be great to be there, but alas. I'll pop round next year for a 
cuppu tea.
Anyhoo,webe in touch. You have inte net on the Isle. I send mail."
Thanks Chief!

Erzberg Poetry

My brother Nic sent me this brilliant poem of encouragement today:

All the best on the mountain,
and in the pit,
round them burms,
through the dust and spit.
Fight them from the grid to the gravel.
Give them shit.
Have a blast.
