Re: Trackdays

Thanks for starting this thread SLP, I'd better inform you all that the Cadwell day is nearly full, those in the 'know' will have worked out it's about £30 dearer than a commercial day, we promise lower numbers on track and have to charge more to cover costs. We have a track walk the evening before,...

Was a good day although my S1000rrrrrrrr was missing a few Rs but on a track like Oulton power isn't everything, someone sent me this so I could scutinise my style, or lack of it!!! I did manage to get close to the exit of the Shell hairpin though. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ECPIl8QvjPc&fea...

Do you mean they'd struggle to read it 'cause it's so boring, or because they read it on a phone? I wrote it for the club magazine and thought I'd copy and paste it here, I'm from Norfolk, that's stretching my computer skills to the absolute limit! Perhaps tanneman can do it for me! hi joe, hope the...

Some of you may remember that a year ago I wrote about a trip to Italy, I did it again this year, similar plans, travel there on my own, meet up with 14 others, ride about and come home on my own. It all started at 6 a.m. on a Thursday, (after finishing work at 9 p.m. on the Wednesday evening and pa...
