Silverstone MotoGP Meetup 2011

First PS picture from the UK. Jumkie nattily attired for his first British GP. Amazing what you can do with Google Earth cameras these days.

Prepare for some visual entertainment....

It's been 20 minutes, Arrab. Post something you lazy .......s, my F5 button is wearing out!

Posts coming directly. I .... you not, 4 laptops are up and running. Gator, our resident photographer is uploading as we speak.



What a day, it started out looking like SoCal weather. Tshirts and flip flops. Then it went artic in hurry. Can I say something before I forget... It’s a beautiful country, maculate circuit, the best crew in the world; however, the UK offers the worse and nastiest cheeseburger in the known universe.



Oh, ...., Choppers and Bonnie just got here, the party just got 1000X more interesting, I'll post after I'm "pissed". (That mean drunk for our American friends.)



TBC

Okay, here's the first bit to post. Jumkie's here helping me post and add commentary, so officially, "these opinions are not necessarily the opinions of the poster".

That's a bit harsh Gator. `jumkie is a fine gentleman. That picture, that is an imposture. That's not him, thats a scoucer for sure that we picked up somewhere. `jumkie, he is a proper gentleman fitting of our royalty mate. ``you need to retract my friend.

1. I was going to be there but the traffic was bad.



2. The real Casey could probably even win on this:





3. Can't believe you guys see anything in getting pissed at a GP



4. Does Reg. whinge so much in real life?



5. Get a board of plywood and slip it under Tom's tent while he's asleep then pick him and tent up and relocate it to the top of someones car. Results of morning wakeup on youtube please.



6 Keep Ereb. away from the handbrake.



7. If you see a lost guy wandering by aimlessly and muttering incoherently in some foreign language, its probably Babel ........ stop him and take the Gyro he's using off him ...... he's trying to find his way home by using the Gyro .......... ps. he actually lives in Easter Island.



8. Tell basspete to get off his knees.



9. Reg. you suck.



10. were you guys in the stands at QP? ...... I wondered if I saw a bunch of you on TV and Darrel said you look like a pack of ......s.



11. Everyone watching 12 simultaneously booed the ......s



12. Did Jumkie go to Thomas the Tank World or something



Is that his "Sir Topham Sombrero" outfit ?



13. .... off you ......s ........ hope you are enjoying it .......











Edit : ok Daryl didn't say you were ......s ........ but I'm sure he would have had he thought of it.

Hi Guys, I've only just started really watching MotoGP... I am a big F1 fan and liked the Silverstone racing that was on today so I may be becoming quite the addict to this sport, I am only 15 but I sure do love my sports. Thanks for having me Guys and Girls.



Epic.

Just got home. ....... knackered, horrible drive home due to really bad weather. Sat on my Lay z boy, flick the TV on, go to red button and no motogp. WTF is up with the BBC ?



Great weekend. It was great to meet Gator and levvi, a pair of gentlemen Always fun hanging with Arrab, Wilski, & jumkie. Also got to meet Austin and Basspete at last. All a bunch of top blokes.

Pity i didn't get to meet tom but i expect like us he got himself a seat under cover and stayed put. Maybe next year?

I will sort out my pics and post when i can be arsed.

Ditto!



Arrab many thanks for sharing your home, you are a most gracious host, I hope I get a chance to return the favour one day. The rest of you guys, you are all wonderful, and very patient. I promise to learn how to use the camera on my phone properly before we all meet up again.



I love you all. Have a safe journey home.

BM, that was actually a brilliant post. Well done. `you had us all laughing actually out loud.



OK, little update, that is, until i figure out something clever to say, plus `i'm a bit distracted, as `i'm watching WSBK here in Arrabi's livingroom debating the peculiar dynamic between the real and virtual world and how it applies to accepted civil behavior. You probably wouldn't understand. Anyway, `i though your above post was brilliant and examplifies my personal view on the argument. It seems this particular version of your personalities has stumbled on an outstanding summation of what it means to ........ on a internet forum.



Anyway, I've had the time of my life. Nicky on the podium may have cost me my life in the form of a heart attack, so it may be best it didn't happen. The race was fantastic, even though, speaking in SoCal standards, it would have made a polar bear protest, '......, its cold!' But honestly, the warmth from all the peeps we met up with was amazing. It's been an excellent weekend. `i'd say, life changing actually. As `i come away thinking, wow, `i would love to meet everybody on the forum and have a weekend such as this, with the anticipation that we would all become quick friends. Hell, if `i can accept Roger and Bonnies blatant bopperism, then what could possibly prevent me from becoming `'mates`(as the Brits like to say) with even the worse of Bops?



For the record, everybody reading this, you do understand this is the INTERNET right? If you're a member on Poweslide, we could probably have a lengthy and meaningful conversation, and we would end it with some level of kinship. (except you Talps) no, just kidding, you included, `no really, except you Stupidshitya, you creep). hehehe Ok, enough said....



I'll post more later....

BBC iplayer. 1.34.16. shovelhead spotted

Talpa - I just want you to know, I love you man - and I humbly concede that you have forgotten more than I will ever know about racing.



I apologise for my provocation, and my good friend Chop has shown me the light - Yellow is henceforth my favourite colour. The doctor is my doctrine, and I am your willing understudy.



EDIT: .......! My audition to American's dumbest criminals is complete.
