    I keep checking the weather forecast but have no real idea as I keep getting distracted by Carol's breasts.

    Awesome day, bit wet and the hail storm during the last session was a bit much but still an amazing day! Thanks for organising it Mark and good to meet you all. Looking forward to the Elite in 2015!

    Few of me today, I'm sure the other boys will be adding theirs soon

    Thunderstorms and hail didn't not dampen the fantastic day

    Glad you all had a good day, I probably missed you because my session started at 11.45 and finished at 3, then straight home. Wouldn't have known your faces either :(

    Just home, fantastic day I really enjoyed myself even with the shity weather I never realised how much fun it could be in the rain! I learnt so much today and can't believe how fast you can go in the wet.

    Big thanks to beckers for organising it and for such a great price!

    Shame I missed this but ankle just not up to track riding at present - me and my mate buy those old tyre for our road bikes - good to see they perform well in the wet!

    anyone get their knee down in the wet? Would you trust / buy a pair of T30's after using them today?

    Big thanks to Beckers for sorting this.
    Shame about the weather, but at least I leared a few new tips to try at my next track day. Turns out my body position was all wrong and I should be completely off the throttle when turning in.

    Too wet Al and I didn't have the confidence to tip right in (although not for want of trying at the hairpin).
    The T30's were good, not that I can say I put them through their paces and we were only on 600's, but there were no slides at my end. I'll be sticking with my PR4's for the road though as they look more like a winter tyre.


    p.s. Beckers. Were you on the Scotland trip or the Silverstone forum track day? I can't help but think that I've seen you somewhere before?
