What did you do today
Discussion
Well after dropping the wife off at the airport this morning I remembered that BMW were launching the 2012 1000 S at the autodrome.
After blagging all the riding kit I managed to squeeze in 3 laps. Now it has been some time I last road a motorbike but man was that thing fast. Endless drive from very low down, chickened out at 10,000 rpm (goes onto 14,500), slipper clutch for those quick down the box changes. What a rush.
Let the bike buying dithering begin.........

Met Phil in a random petrol station early doors....
Headed out into the desert for some dune bashing in the AM
Went to Meydan for the racing (my company sponsored the whole event) got rather merry on free drinks.
Finished the night by heading to Jools Holland at the Jazz Festival which was ace.

Non-sodding existant..... couldn't see a great deal and couldn't get out of the car without getting shotblasted.That said, the Jeep came back under its own power and not on a recovery truck so all in all it was a success!!
