The hills are alive....

So that's the worse bit of being out in Austria for the last 5 weeks over and done with. I sat, glum faced, not wanting to talk to anyone, as I knew that over in Leicestershire (at a certain 'friendly' circuit) there were Hornets racing.

And I wasn't there to join in the fun. Also it means I've lost my lead in the Club championship. Chris Carter even emailled me to ask why I wasn't there. Super-stardom here I come!!

I understand that the weather was good and the racing was even better, except for young Sean who had a pretty big tumble and we wish him a speedy and full recovery.

Have you ever been to Salzburg? It's pretty stunning really and I would recommend a long weekend but after your tenth 'MozartBall' (don't ask!) it really does get boring. Opera (strictly that Mozart chap only) and The Sound of Music on ever corner and then after that just a few amazing landscapes to look at......

.....until I found the local KTM shop - WOW!!!

I think I have found my next bike, the SuperDuke. I will have to hunt down the chap at New Era who has been running one of these in the Sound of Thunder class (and cleaning up quite well) and ask him what he thinks of it. I doubt anything bad will be muttered. But if anyone would be kind enough to let me know what they are like to ride, I would be very grateful.

Trouble is, with only 1 week to go, I'm now thinking about buying one and exporting it to the UK. But I'm not too sure on how to go about it and what the costs are. Any ideas?

Opened up the Black & White Race Team shop today as well, so hopefully I'll be rice soon on the proceeds of hundreds of t-shirts - yeah, right!

See you all soon
