Hey guys and girls, sorry for another big delay in sending you a blog but in fairness i've had a fair bit on my plate just lately!! I don't really know where to start to be honest, in my last blog it was that time of year where everybody's talking and things are starting to happen regarding the following season but for me things were ticking along fairly steady, i think i mentioned last time my win win situation as i saw it, basically i may have got to stay in WSB with a good team which would've been real cool but if it didn't happen i had some mega options in BSB which would give me a really strong chance at fighting for another title or two back in the UK, well, as it turned out the good option i wanted in WSB went and the best option in BSB became a goer so that was that job done, HM Plant Honda it is for 2011 then!!
As i said win win situation, it actually feels kind of strange in a way because in recent years in BSB it was always going to be either HM Plant Honda or Airwaves Ducati as they were that were going to compete for the title, the two teams were both seemingly at another level and with Airwaves Ducati not being around anymore HM Plant was the logical choice, sure there's some real good teams out there now that may have stepped right up and bridged the gap but i'm more than happy with my choice and can't wait to get going, it's almost like the perfect wedding present.......
Speaking of which, last Thursday Petra and i finally tied the knot and got married, we had a mega day and an even better party that night, everything went absolutely perfect and i'm both extremely happy and proud to be able to call her finally my wife, i'll try to get some pics up on the site in the near future to show you all, she really did look like a princess and as for our son, well, he may only be two years old but he lit up the dance floor, he had everyone in stitches, i'm almost convinced somebody slipped a little bit of red bull or something into him, i've never seen anything like it :-)!!!!
We're kicking back in the Uk for a little bit longer, i had to go to a big Honda dealer conference the other day and have to go to the NEC show this sunday which will be cool, monday i think i'm collecting my new motocross bike from the team and that's the first chance i'll get to take a look at my new Fireblade for next year, i'm so excited i might take a pair of leathers and a helmet to see if they'll let me ride it around the car park for a bit ha ha ha, then at some point that week i'd like to actually go home for a bit, i can't wait to ride my new CRF250, i really enjoyed my last one a couple of years ago, i'll take it home for a bit then early next year bring it back to the UK so that i can leave it with my mates then i can come over to go riding with them and get them to prepare it ready for the next time we're going out, i'm not that good with all the cleaning and prep work, i just love riding the things!!!
Right for now i'm going to crack on, off out for dinner tonight with one of my cousins and her husband which will be highly amusing so i need to get moving, talk to you all soon, Shakey#67
Finally, a HM Plant Honda rider, team gear that fits on route ;-)
