Tue 13th Aug - Oulton Park

Well what a great 2 days at Oulton park we had one wet session yesterday where I was on wets then its been fine for the rest of the sessions .

I bought a cd with 100+ photos from the photography guys who are there and he got some cracking pics I will post some of them in the next few days and there will be a lot of knee down shots as I mentioned to the photography lads yesterday it was my first proper knee down so today he got loads of pics .

I can now say I got my knee down on every right hand bend at Oulton , need to work on my left but my right knee slider is fecked .(firebloke won't believe me until he sees it)lol and I promise especially to Andy and Steve I won't mention it again at track as I really have been like a big kid so sorry Andy if I was over excited today .

Was well chuffed as me and Andy had been timing each other as we were in different groups ,my fastest lap time was 1.56 and I really do put this down to the tyres and been in fast group.I am finding in fast group you can get pulled along with faster riders and it seems to work for me.

So for the final time "Oulton park we have touchdown"

 

dont worry,when the slider bill starts to roll in you'll grow out of it

 

A few pictures from the last 2 days at Oulton Park.

 

Looking at the pictures i need to be dropping my head at lot more .

 

possibly.

if your happy+comfortable with that position then who's to say it's wrong,however,you're limited to how much you can lean the bike,and ultimately how much grip you have,moving your head to the inside will put a bit more weight inside the bike helping you keep a tighter line and being able to keep the bike a bit more upright giving more grip,so safer to boot.

 

but,have a look at some pics of simon crafar and see how much he sits up on the,as does Mike "spike" Edwards,or at least when he's out instructing (little different when he's proper on it)

 

He can't move his head cause its too f**king big now lol ,
Cracking pictures Jason ,

 

tbh i'm not sure i could handle jason (and from what i've heard young tyke) in the same garage,it'll be like taking the kids out on a school trip

 

Great pics Jase! It was only a matter of time before you got your knee down. It's a great feeling isn't it? So now you need to learn the art of just grazing the tarmac instead of pressing it down so hard you're going to dig a hole!

 

Wicked photos mate! And well done for cracking it...

Just watching bsb roundup on Eurosport, how different the track looks in te dry is amazing

And wtf.... There is a lake there??? Didn't notice that when I was there lol

 

I believe there's a few places left in the fast group on the 27th August Jim!

 

It's funny you say that Jimbo about the lake I am sat here watching bsb as well and thought the same thing about the lake . Lol
