But Stateside, Jerry Griffith must have been even more possessed than a Mercury rider on Friday night last drop in W1. He rotated his lump from transverse to in-line, and junked the shaft-drive. In 1980-81 Jeff Haney and Mickey Fay rode it (probably without shoulder bag, top-box, and a ciggie poking out of the visor). And gloriously, in 1982 Scott Pearson scored Honda's first 1/2mile national win at Louisville Kentucky. BP

Goat Tracking
If you fancy fresh croissant for breakfast followed by 45° goat track inclines, picturesque landscape, rounded off by pool-side local wine, make a holiday out of it with Lot Valley Enduro, in the south of France. Brits Kate & Dave Haines run tours to suit all skill levels on Suzuki DRZ 400's.
Dave let me have a taste of his own frighteningly frisky Aprilia RX V450 that's like a rock-climbing Jack Russell on speed.
Tim Greig made a flat tracker out of one. It raced in Europe and at the Welsh round, but then it blew up. Anybody else experiment with home-made bombs? BP

Wrap Up
Mablethorpe sand racing tomorrow. Unless you're part-polar bear, take a Thermos. Signing on is 8am, so racing starts at 10-ish I think.
