Re: Re:
Hello Spudly, I broke my MM Cherry last year, so I appreciate it all seems a bit daunting. Although everyone was really cool here on the Forum, I did wonder if it would be a bit different in real life.
Did I come last? Yes, Did my fellow RetroBikeers laugh, of course… did I ever feel not welcome? Not for one moment.
And out on the track I’d been advised to just let people through, and I’d be ok. I was lapped numerous times and only ever got friendly banter, positive encouragement and thankyou’s for making way. (Oh and proper and befitting abuse when riding past our camp)
Anyway, based on my experience…
Do we have to ride, if so how many laps..? I and many others did only 1, some didn’t ride…
Do we have to drink, if so how many beers.. I don’t suppose you have to, not realy thought about it. Some people were very good at it (Hotwheels drank at breakfast)
Do we have to have retro only..? I don’t think so, plenty brought a Retro for showing off/pit riding then raced something post ‘98
Do we have to bring enough caffeine to keep a bull awake all weekend..? Most of our Team stopped riding at 11, drank till about 2 then went to bed (in the middle of the 24hr race)

For example..

Do we have to have retro only..?
