British Superbikes at Silverstone 2007

I said I'd go again and so I have. This year the Silverstone round was much earlier (29th April). I booked two tickets on-line for me and my brother Pootle. Later I discovered that under sixteen's go free so I gave my spare ticket to Simbo.

We had a great day but damn it was so cold! The whole crowd was shivering. The day before had been so hot that I'd bee riding round with all the zips on my leather's undone so I went to Silverstone with just a t-shirt and leathers. Doh!

It didn't dent our enjoyment too much though and I used my previous trip's knowledge to good use getting us to just the right spot to watch the racing. We saw the hottest overtaking and position swapping from where we were and for the rest of the circuit there was a giant screen to watch. We saw Shaky clip Haslam and go off and sadly we saw Leon Camier go down too. Pootle and I were gutted for him, he's a bit of a new favourite of ours; his overtake on Walker was great (the crowd groaned, I had no idea how strong the support for Walker was).

I'm glad to say that this year I didn't leave my disc lock on and drop my Zed in front of hundreds of bikers.

I shall definitely try to catch more BSB rounds this year.
