Two Morinis at play

Jenny was coming up to help over the weekend; on Saturday she was held up in traffic but my friend Doctor Jason arrived in time for the first practice, which revealed how much I had forgotten about the circuit, which is a tricky one. There was also practice on the Cub, which sounded and felt fine but was refusing to get up to max revs in top gear. In the first race on the Morini I had an entertaining dice with a TZ Yamaha, which was fast on the straights but slow on the bends, and trying to get past both of us was a friendly newcomer on a rather smart 400 Morini. My friend Adrian turned up and with the weather holding up it was all rather pleasant and sociable. However, things took a turn for the worse when the Cub emitted a horrible death rattle in the warm-up lap of its first race. Frustrating, as the 200cc Four Stroke race featured an equally slow MV175, and we could have had some fun battling for last place rather than the poor chap being left on his own.

Carnage

Not a pretty sight

In the afternoon I was looking forward to a re-run of the morning’s fun, but I was inexplicably slower and was left behind by Mike on his Morini. On Sunday morning I got my act together again, keeping ahead of Mike but not the Yamaha, then went slowly again in the afternoon to be firmly beaten by both of them. Perhaps a younger friend’s theory that I need afternoon naps is turning out to be true…

The aluminium boot reinforcement was largely worn away - it is not as if I wasn't trying.
