And given a lick of paint

Time lapse. All the best, Jim.

End of a ferry

Some skill displayed by steersman - but somehow a sad end for a still serviceable ship. All the best, Jim.

Michael & Ryan @ Tandragee '09

The boys go past some handy racers as if they were standing still - then Michael slipstreams Ryan to notch his first win. Awesome. All the best, Jim.

Motorrad Training courses @ the 'Ring - 2014

I received this from Neil Leigh today - it is the best introduction to the Nordschleife remaining. Contact Neil @ aeaventures.com for details. "ARDENNE & EIFEL AVENTURES 2014 Training date for Nurburgring Nordschleife Happy New year Pilgrims! We now have the dates and details for the Motorcycle only training course at the Nurburgring Nordschleife run by Motorrad Perfection team, read on! June 11-13th 2014, the course will be run in a very similar fashion to last years event with 30 minute sessions for riders training in groups and then experienced riders lapping without instruction. The event consists of 2 full days on closed track (12&13th) with both marshalling and first aid facilities provided. The Groups under instruction will also receive sessions of section training each morning on track to help them become more familiar with the circuit and its secrets. The Group made of experienced riders who will be lapping without assistance will be required to adhere to the protocol for open lapping which will be explained before the first morning and anybody failing to adhere to this or who is seen to be not of a suitable standard may be asked to move into the instructed groups. The cost of the course for 2 days on track, training or free lapping is 990 euro, the increase from 2013 being unavoidable due to a much higher circuit hire fee being charged by the Nurburgring organisation for 2014. This price includes 3 evening buffet meals at the Dorint GP Track hotel. Good news is that accommodation is once again available in the Dorint Hotel adjacent to the grand prix track. 3 nights (11,12&13/6) on a B&B basis sharing a twin bedded room is 195 euro. A single room on the same basis is 270 euro. All riders WHO ATTENDED the course in 2013 will automatically receive booking forms once they become available, If you DID NOT ATTEND in 2013 and wish to receive booking forms please contact me asap and I will provide you with the information required. This supersedes any previous email you may have sent me asking for information. I always say this but it really is TOP GUN on two wheels, both myself and Kim Milnes will once again be providing the bulk of the instruction for all English speaking riders and fingers crossed the gods bless us with the same weather as last year, it was spectacular! Sporting Regards, Neil www.aeaventures.com" All the best, Jim.
