Great, i'll be on my silver SP1, with two of my mates, on a R1, and a 900 fireblade.

Look forward to meeting you.

Cheers B/F

It would scare me shitless doing a trackday.

NB, are you going to use your GoPro?

Black Flash

Don't have one, which is a shame. Maybe next time.

Cheers B/F

Just a thought about track days,(this will be only the second time).

Every one is travelling in the same direction, there is a specfic racing line, so if some one is quicker than yourself, then there is plenty of passing places and wide track space.

You only have 8 laps max at a time, and if you wish, you can have instruction by usually an ex racer or pro, on how to improve you riding skills. As is not alll about trying to get your knee scraping along the ground,(although the first time you do it it, you do get a rush) far from it.
What i learnt, i took onto the road and was a smoother rider after i felt.

I was very apprehensive the first time i went, but was very pleased that you have three different categories of riders. Novice (which is me) Intermediate(my mates), Pro and they are quick and short of a few brain cells.

I enjoyed the first track day, but was shattred by the end of the day. I always say, you are only here once, give it a go!!!

Cheers B/F

It'd be interesting to see what this track day giddiness is all about ::)
