Signing sessions, testing and last days of holiday

I’ve been back in Europe for a week now. I was a little home sick for a few days, but that’s normal and I soon came right! A few days after I got back I went to the dirt bike show in Stoneleigh park near Birmingham for two days. I did an autograph session both days for THOR, SCOTT and Fro Systems. I caught up with a lot of friends from the MX world. It was nice because at the races you often don’t have time to stop and have a really good chat.

This past weekend I went trials riding with a bunch of guys. It was fun but a little wet which made it hard as we certainly are not professionals!

There were a few big crashes and a few loop outs but we all got home safe. This week is my last on holiday, well this week isn’t really even holiday because I’m off to Italy for 3 days to do some more testing on both suspension and the engine. I’m hoping for some new improvements from the last test before I went home to NZ. Finally, I head to South Africa on Sunday to begin my base training for 2009. I’m looking forward to getting going and starting my build up. Other than that I haven’t been up to much…

I’ll check in later in the week and let you know how testing goes.
