I did it booked with focused. Using the blade. going on the morning with my cousin who's taking his Speed Triple Excited much :Banane09::Banane09::Banane09::Banane09::Banane09::Banane09:
There is just one rule on your 1st trackday and it should apply to each and every trackday you attend....................RIDE IT LIKE YOU NICKED IT !!!!
Wouldn't recommend this unless you want to leave without a bike in an ambulance. Pembrey is a tricky track, take it easy and smooth. Learn the track and then build up speed. Lap time are all about smoothness. Have fun, hope it will be dry
First session I like to keep to 2nd and 3rd gears. Learn the track, let the idiots go. Take your time. Build from there.
My first one was at Pembrey you will learn alot. My only advice is to watch out for people outbraking themselves at the end of the straight as you are turning into the hairpin. The rest of the track there is plenty of room and you will enjoy it, just go at your own pace you will get faster by the end of the day anyway. If you get chance grab an instructor to go with you for a few laps you can learn lots of them.
Enjoy mate.. def something i want to do soon..Incidently if anyone is going on a track day around the South region give me a hola
Have fun and ride within yourself and you will be fine. You will find in he novice group there is no racing line. Other riders are all over the track and do unexpected things so remember to keep a good gap between bikes Check your tyres when your there. Cold 30/30 hot 35/35 is a good rule of thumb.
I did Pembrey last July, great track very flat and quite hard to pick out your reference points. Honda curve is Awesome!! Only thing to watch out for are idiots who dive up the inside of you as you tip into the hair pin!! Have a ball. Jay
You'll love it mate, 1st time out waiting in the holding area makes you mega nervous, its a great little track but hard to master, being on the Blade you wont be using many gears, I wouldnt recomend using 1st gear for the hairpin either, lots of peeps come off there due the rear spinning-up and spitting them off. The Photographer is really good, get the Cd mate I think its around £25.00 and worth it for your 1st one to look back on, you can then use the photos to study body position etc....by the way its very addictive......hope you have a wicked day mate
stunning news. well I was going with my cousin and now have about another 15 friends coming along, Excited Yes, nervous yes. God let it be dry Anyone from here coming along?
Im gonna be there mate.Only 10 mins from my house. Most likely just watching a few friends Although i have been offered to take the place of 1 of the boys who has dropped out. Either way i will be there and ill say hello when i spot your bike Make sure you have some spare cash on you to buy the Photos. They are really good and nice to have
Stunning news mate. I'll PM you my Mob no so you can txt me when your there. As for spare cash I will be buying the picas they do of me just because it's my first TD You can't miss me. fat fecker Made to measure BKS leathers on the repsol blade. Who will be riding like miss daisy at the start
I'm on stand by that day or I would have taken a ride up, even if it rains the track has loads of grip mate, dunno if your riding there, but you will need spare fuel, I take a jerry can and use most of it throughout the day
Much better using the trailer mate, you'll be knackered by the end of the day, and ache like hell the following morning [if your not fit] The food in the cafe is ok, but expensive, try not to eat "heavy food" for dinner [chips etc] eat light and drink loads of water, you'll be buzzing the whole day mate. One tip I would say is either tape-up or unplug your bake light, otherwise everyone will use you as a marker
