winter pastimes

I think I've found my new winter hobby.
After my big smash in 1991, I basically stopped watching bike racing and following it in magazines etc. It wasn't a conscious decision, but for many years I didn't have a TV, and just never picked up on it all again. Last time I really watched it, Mick Doohan was at the top in 500 GPs I believe     


So now I've been watching some stuff from Duke Video downloads, and have come to the conclusion that I have 24 years worth of racing history to catch up on! This includes all MotoGP, since the first days of 4T 990 engine rules, road racing since the days of Carl Fogarty vs Steve Hislop etc etc. Think I'm going to be very busy in the winter months

Pheasant, Venison and Rabbit - that's a real game pie.......a good bottle of Red to go with it and cheese and port to follow - who cares if it's raining!  Lucky man.

Sounds like a good weekend Slim.


Once the Pheasant shooting season ends I'll get onto the roe deer in our young plantations. I will also get out with the hounds more, travel quite a bit clearing foxes for farmers before lambing time.

Doing all the jobs I need to do on the bikes but always keeping one of them roadworthy  get some nice days over the winter:-)

Other than that scanning ebay for more bike bling!
