    Hey Folks,

    just wondered if there will be any forum members at the upcoming Niall McKenzie track day a week monday (27th)? Danny and I will be there if your going to be around.

    Cant Wait! although the bike is a bit of a handful just now after that last dyno session.. can't seem to keep the front wheel on the ground :D

    IMG_6011.jpg IMG_6015.jpg IMG_6016.jpg IMG_6024.jpg IMG_6034.jpg IMG_6038.jpg IMG_6079.jpg Well.. another trackway under my belt. I guess thats 3 now.. one at the Ron Haslam 600 School, and two on my blade at Knockhill. Once again, amazing experience and its almost a no brainer now that a track bike has to come shortly. A few photos of the day.. as you will see from the post above, Sunday in Aberdeen about 3pm and it started to snow FFS. Thought that when I woke up at 5am the next day, snow still on the ground that the day would be a wash out.. not so as once on the road (about 2.5hr drive from Aberdeen in the hire van with 3 bikes) the snow seemed to start to clear the further south we went. Blue skies and 3 Deg greeted us at the track.. god it was a bit nippy! A few photos from the day, great track time once again but this time only 6 x 20 min sessions as the snow came on and ended the day prematurely. Went in the fast group for the first time after 2 sessions in the intermediate, wasn't as intimidating as I thought! My carbon baby managed a few tussles and amazingly its as quick as the BMW S1000rr and the panigali's on the straights.. well chuffed! Will upload a few teaser video's shorty to show some short clips as I make the longer one.

    bottom line, if you haven't experienced a track day on your own bike yet.. get it done as its just simply brilliant!
