    he wouldn't know about that,being a semi pro (soon to be full pro no doubt) he'll have some pit monkey to look after all that for him :)

    although I do have him on camera taking my warmers off,so just hope he remembers his roots when he's up on the big stage in MGP....

    Anglesey Coastal Circuit


    Video of one of my sessions at this trackday, couldn't have wished for better weather, especially after the horror stories I'd heard about sea mist rolling in and gale force winds making a regular appearance!
    Track is only about one and a half miles long so didn't take too long to learn it, very grippy and "the Corkscrew" was just awesome!

    Liam's Crash at Anglesey

    My mate Liam joined the forum trackdayers at Anglesey, although a very fast lad on his 03 cbr6, he came a cropper at "The Banking" losing the rear and highsiding in dramatic style! He broke his collarbone in half a dozen places and took a severe battering to the left side of his body!

    Had a great time at Anglesey, found it much better than oulton but think this was down to being my 2nd time on track and an easier track to learn, great company too. Was getting faster and a big achievement for me...knee down on the old bus!

    Would have being getting to the fire blokes times but he didn't time me on session 3...think he was having his snooze! Lol

    Overall got the buzz proper now and less intimidated on track so roll on next time!
