    Fair play to you young man for having a go. French endurance teams are serious affaire's. I have only been to Le mans for 24 car race 1992, it is an awesome venue. I have spectated French superbike races many times. The competitors are just as crazy keen.
    Here is a amusing story. Me & my wife on tour on the ZX-6R in 2002, rode into the paddock at Val de Vienne circuit, the gates were open. A German club had booked the venue for 3 days. Chatted to a few lads (my wife's German is OK) walked through the boxes to pit lane, asked where the clerk of the course was ( we were wanting info for events) "that's him on the 916 thundering past the pit straight" the club leader said "hey, you want to ride the track, it's OK, you can do this" as tempted as I was, my Ninja had to get us home to England.

    Loved your analogy about going for a night time piss in somebody else house. It made it all make sense.

    Best of luck with the scaphoid. Mines screwed together with a bone graft off the hip, and I was in plaster (although I switched to fibreglass and goretex) for 11 months. Of course part of that's because at first they didn't think it was broken, and then about a month after breaking it I completely separated it doing a bench press.
