First time ever so i suppose being slow does that to the tyre, give it a few more tries and I'll probably destroy it :D

An isle of man racer in the fast group did the circuit in 1.01, I did it in 1.15 according to a bicycle app used on the phone so I'm pretty happy with that :)

And a Roof Helmet with no golden sticker :D But as the Roof is approved as full face in closed position they were happy with that. They never checked shoes but the fact is that these are motorcycle boots, they have heal inserts, ankle protection and a cap over the toes, not as safe as storm trooper boots but safe enough :)

Awesome, great lean angle! Could hang out even further and increase the speed even more :)

Can't wait for the next trackday now!
