I think its a good thing I live in a garage!I can imagine they are asking him questions that he has answered a million times but he still smiles & makes them feel special.All done. Bikes ready. Having a beer in the hospitality now & watching the rider do photos 4 mags + meet & greets.Lunch over. Heading back to the garage. Busy day 2day.

Missing any sort of mile stone or celebration is the worst part of jobs like mine. Many ppl who serve or work in oil & gas etc say the same.Just watched a movie with my family via iPads by pointing it @ the TV. My kids call me iPad dad. Its a bit sad but kinda funny.@AoB32 they did not say past 2nd place. I would think top ten in a field of 50 just guessing.@motogp4601 I knew u were. No sweat and I will do my best.@Stevewhite44 @DerekWhiteford haha! Mr McDivot, I will always think of him like that now, we’ll that and one other thing.@maidenwickerman your just catching up on all your tweets huh?@maidenwickerman haha. I shot 46 on the back 9. 45 on the front. 72 was the par and my handicap was 15 after slope adjustment. So 76 net.@jimgito with what? Golf, work, stock market or my Wrigglies sponsorship.@ff_freeman 18 over. Handicap is 14 now.@DaveNeal haha.@motogp4601 that was going home. I went there direct from golf. Left in the dark. Give me some credit.@English_Cocker thanks 4 that!@DerekWhiteford haha, I had 2 piss so bad today & the people were posh.
