And, I will have you know Snoops, that I set the fastest time of the day at Rockingham in 2001 whilst being bladdered. The bikes were taken up by van, with me asleep in the passenger seat after a legendary session that finished at four in the morning.
The scrutuneers look at the bike and declare it fine. They didn't look at the rider who was necking black coffee and bacon sandwiches at a mad rate.
The first session I just wobbled around the track, gaining familiarity with it. The second session, I could actually see straight and gave it a good go
The third session, I really sent for it and blitzed it - until my last lap where I should have highsided it (no idea how I stayed on) and then retired to the pits. There were four sessions remaining - I spent them asleep in the van.
They were the mad days.
