John McLain of Phoenix Honda Grangemouth took 20 customers down to Oulton Park and here is what he had to say about it.
Oulton park is situated in Cheshire and is one of the more spectacular circuits of the series, at 06.00, 20 riders set of from phoenix Honda motorcycles here at grangemouth for the 240 mile ride closely followed by the van... or so we thought, torrential rain stopped 7 even getting to the meet up points but fortunately 13 made it although 10 turned up in cars!,
The ride down for Anne and robin fox and myself was to say the least wet, however on reaching the circuit and entering Hondas hospitality suit makes it all worth while, we had lunch with Keith amor, Shane shaky burn, Ryuichi Kiyonari, and the legend that is John McGuiness, after lunch it was a tour of the garage to see the bikes being prepped and onto the pit walk all vip courtesy of Honda and hosted by Fiona Cole who did a fantastic job of keeping us in check and certainly new her stuff !
Then once all done its over to the campsite for a BBQ and refreshment, and the camp party began... Up at 7.00 for more bacon butties and lots of tea and coffee, camp packed and on to the circuit for the days racing, even in the rain it is an awesome circuit with lots of action, the ride home again the heavens opened and did not let up until almost home.
All in all a fantastic weekend, even torrential rain failed to dampen the spirits of the 13 of us that made it.
