How were they Gary? I've been a bit of a fan of Shakey's since his move to Aprilia and am a bit partial to Haydon since I read about him in Motorcycle Racer back in 2000 or 2001.

Thats cool Gaz,

Look forward to the pictures mate.

Might get a good price on Ebay or our very own Le Shakey here might be interested...

heh let the bidding wars begin.

they were both easy to chat to and most happy to have there pics taken.

Wow cool, you're really lucky to meet those two great guys! Shakey has done an awful lot better since he left Moto GP.

shaky seemed happy enough where he is now,i did ask him about motogp an he said the pace is something to be seen and was so hard to keep up,i also asked him about rossi an shaky replied he didn,t see much of him on the track to which we both laughed but off the track rossi,s a cool bloke he only has to fart an everyone wants a sniff
in the past month or so ive met an got the autographs/pics of as you know shane byrne,james haydon,also john reynolds and leon haslam...
im on the look out for other riders an will keep you all posted with my progress....

Don`t follow Shakey`s career to well, but I remember reading that he left GP because it was hard lining up on the grid and, because of the bike between your legs, knowing you got no chance of winning. I`d have to agree. Winning in BSB is better than coming last in motoGP. That`s why I can`t understand moves like CV to Suzuki. Unless they pull a rabbit outta their hat next year, Chris could be stuck with the thing, it could end his GP career before it really begins.
