Almeria Spain

Well i had an awesome 2 days at Almeria , riding one of Simon Crafar's MotoVudu Suzuki 750's . took a little to get used to the track with the blind apex's but after 2-3 sessions it all fell into place . i was impressed with he 750 they where set up very well it was a little different not having all the Hp like on the 1000 but it made you run so much more lean angle and corner speed it was a lot of fun but i just about killed a set of boot dragging the pegs , rear sets where set high and i could get my toes up any higher :-}} . Sliding the rear through just corner speed and not from cracking the throttle was a little different to get used to , but i think it will help me next time out on the 1000 .

If you are looking to do a few days in the Sun with out the hassles of shipping bikes etc , just contact simon and get some on track instruction at the same time

 

Did you see Mr Crafar's tweet about yourself and a certain Mr Rea ??

 

Please share!

 

Twitter / simoncrafar: I wonder if it's the stresses ...

dunno if its worked........

 

Brilliant!

 

Awesome...

 

yes after i pulled my suit on he took one look at it and said i have to wind Jonny up :-}}

the weather so so good , Simon was instructing a young russian racer getting ready for next season , but i got to have a couple of runs with him as i tagged on the back one session , next session i went out in front simon went past so i followed him for 2-3 laps then he let me back through , he came past again but the russian guy couldnt get through i thought about pulling over but then thought fuck that he is a young racers he should be able to pass an old fucker like me so stayed out for another couple of laps but then the old part caught up with me and i was fucked so pulled in :-}}}

 

Made me smile as well

 

Very funny , as long as young johnny doesn't
Follow his dad's example lol

 

Len was most complimentary about you on twitter also, and less complimentary about mr johnson selling you the blade as he did.

PS mate, sent you an email couple of weeks back.

 

Sounds pretty awesome, what sort of price you looking at for that Shane? (if you don't mind me asking)

 

it cost 295 to rent the bike with a full tank of fuel a set of new tires and stands and warmers and simon charges 350 for the one on one instruction but if there is more than one he will work something out .

 

if you ever get the chance to do a day with Mr Crafar then do it,it will be the most worthwhile money you spend on biking if you want to go quicker and safer.

plus he has to be the nicest most approachable chap trackside
