IM BACK!
Des: Cheers mate, had a hoot of a time, gots a few photos and videos, they are on the way soon. I beed Ace Cafe too, its ok, lots of history there.
Redfox: Kept it shiney side up thank god. Unlike a few others there.
Yeah there was 17 crashes by lunch time and 10 red flags, the record was 12 but after our "COMPULSORY" second meeting and being told off no one crashed.
As this was my first track day i started in the novice group (remained in the novice group too lol) but i dont think i was doing too bad, managed to overtake 6-7 different people. At one point i overtook 2 on the straight, i think they was on older 600's so my 30-some more bhp helped on the coming out of corners.
And yes, i did get stuck behind a few REALLY slow people, but got round them eventually. Some guys there was way too fast for the novice group, i think they went novice so they could "win" - tossers.
Ummmm, my bike had a few problems, the front-left brake disk is warped so it kinda shudders under hard breaking and it gets stuck in between gears when changing from 2nd to 3rd, nearly caused me to ride straight into the gravel
.
All in all, great day, now i still dont see how people say that its better than drag racing. I can see that it requires more skill, but i dont see it as more exciting... on a drag bike where you know you havent control, your only there to hold the throttle open... is just such a rush. Skydiving tops it all though i must say.
Il upload some pics in a while.
