    i was thinking the same thing , where they running groups ?

    trackday and raining means sitting in the garage drinking coffee , no point going out you dont learn anything at all

    its normal but the instant pull pull out of the pits you will be fine , if you didnt get nervous there would be no point doing it . i see lots of guys ride to a track day i could never do that as you dont have any tools fuel gear and how do you get your bike home if you fling it down the road :-}}} just teasing you now

    Hi Samuk, I took my son along mate but not for support for me but as a treat for him! I went in the knowledge that I wasn't gonna push it!
    I was gonna take my time & nothin to prove but just enjoy the bike and see what happens! I think that's what made it so amazing I had no pressure on myself!
    I didn't care who or what overtook me and before long I was passing the guy's who were push to hard from the word go basically scaring themselves instead of relaxing and learning and enjoying each part of the circuit! They were charging corners and braking either to late or to early! It's definitely a must do! Just have fun and don't take it to seriously ;)

    Gosh, you have so much more self control than me :) I thought I was Shane's by the second corner ;) , then realised I lacked the skills, the looks and the budget :D

    Glad you had a top day and had the best looking bike there matey :cool:
