Hi guys
Well booked my second track day of the year for last week, hoping for some dry weather to try out my new gixer at last, and we definately got some
Did it with Focused Events, booked in Inters, only to get there and be put in group 3...advanced/fast, whatever you want to call it, so wasnt happy (was because I'd done 6 track days before !!)...Hardly experienced eh !!
I'll hold me hand up though.....as its the best thing that could have happened
I had the best day on the track so far, came on leaps and bounds from last year
I shall now be in this group from now on
Here's a few pics and a bit of video I did, hope to see some of you guys at a track day this year

That looks like a quality video mate
I'll be using my new cam for the first time on the 30th
Glad you're feeling more confident, thats what its all about
Hope to see you on thr track sometime soon
-
Novice at the moment but I've booked myself in intermediates for the one I'm doing on 13th March so will see how that goes!
You?I'm in the inters, if you feel people are getting in your way too much in novice then move up, but dont feel its a bad thing to be in novice, its really all about where you feel comfortable
You'll find most people are in the correct group, however you always get a few of the following at track days
1. In the novice group.......... purely so they can look a hero as they're the fastest on the track...and should be at least in inters
2. In advanced/fast group.....purely because it makes them think they're fast and because the sticker on the bike and they're wrist band says so
My only goal/aim/target is to have fun.........and I always achieve that
-
dubber, you not fancy booking the 12th 13th march at cadders?
me and chris are both doing it
I'm on nights fri/sat/sun mate
I might see how things are going with the bike etc and maybe book the fri last minute for a bit of track time, but def wont be doing both days
-
Sounds good, great piece of kit for the track
What group are you riding in ?
-
Will do chris, probably pop it on here, we'll be trying at least one a month if not more, all depends on my shifts really
What track bike you going for ?
-
No worries Chris, there's plenty more of the year to go at
Got myself a few goodies over the winter...tyre warmers ,genny, and Ohlins steering damper (hell thats def needed now I'm pushing it that bit harder)
Spare wheels with wets too...after a washed out day at caddy last year
New Berik leathers,Arai lid, Alpinestars boots and gloves....and I wasnt going to spend much money on the bike this year ha ha
-
Booked my first track day of the year for the 30th of March...hoping it might be a good day !!
There is a mob of us doing it
Anybody else going to be there ?
Still only 65 notes
-
Will do, although if its this year will propb be a last minute thing waiting for the weather etc
Yeah I was struggling to keep the front wheel down over the mountain, nearly ran out of track at one point ha ha when it had got down
Yes I've geared mine for acceleration and low top end so its only the new 1000's etc that can get past me on the straights, ....cos I hate that, then they get in ya way at the corners
-
Didnt even bother taking any as it was raining all morning, and couldnt be bothered after that to be honest
I'll see if any of my mates took any
-
Rained all morning so didnt enjoy going out then and sat out one of the sessions, but dried up for the afternoon, so fun was had in the end
Nice to meet you Phil, prob bump into each other next year on the track
Good to see you too Vicki...where did you all go to after we chatted, had a look out for you after but couldn't see any of you ?
Hope you raised a few quid
-
gettin excited about this now....cant wait, 5 sleeps till rockingham 7 sleeps till cadwell...
hurry up please
-
if you do another track day you will be looking at a track bike and a cheap road bike....
Not sure if that was aimed at me, but I do plan on doing plenty more track days. Thats the main reason I got my license.
Next year I plan to do at least 3, 4 including Ron Haslam school depending on what they're doing with the new track next year.
I can definately recommend a track school if you're new to riding
Trying to get a couple of mates that do track days but are, lets put it this way...rather steady, to do one of these as we feel it would bring them along quite a bit
-
still in 2 minds to sell mine to fund a mint track bike tho
I've had a couple of those thoughts and only been riding 6 months
Don't think I would though, I quite enjoy a good ride out on the odd occasion.
Yes, I agree, I still want a bike on the road , but track days are so much fun I'll be spending next years "new" bike budget on a track bike, and will keep the RRV for the road
Its perfectly capable of providing me with plenty of smiles and its great knowing its there in the garage whenever I feel like a ride out
-
Yes, thats the way I'm heading to be honest
My mate has an 08 600RR on the road, he just test rode to new ZX6 and 600 Gixer on sat and says they're not even close, even with the slipper clutch, which is the only possible down side to the CBR 6
He's selling that to get a track one and a cheaper road bike
-
Got me a new one to add to the collection
Love my AGV GP PRO, fit is awesome, very light and quiet, so been on the look out for a spare, but was wanting one a bit different, found this

Couple of the pics look like its got some stone chips on it ??
How strange
-
Have decided that instead of getting a newer blade next year I'm keeping my RRV for the road and spending more on a track bike, prob an 08 CBR 600, or older CBR1000
Just depends on a couple of bonuses I'll be getting in Dec and March, cos thats whats paying for it
Big time track days next year , it really is where its at
-
Have been tempted but giving it a miss as heard some iffy reports from guys that have done open pit lane events...waiting for ages to get on etc
Plus I'm planning a trek for that day as part of my training for the national 3 peaks next year
Looking forward to the 6th though for sure Phil
-
I'll be keeping an eye on this one Phil, as the weather is a bit of a gamble, I wont book it until the last minute
Have heard mixed reports on open pit lane track days, potential to be hanging around waiting to be able to get on the track
-
remember that 125 that was wasting a zx10 at cadwell vicki ?
that was well funny
at oulton there was an rs250 killing everything....proper gp bikes had to be rebuilt after every session
he comes out in inters and flys past me and 2 others just after cascades
The BSB guys were practicing (obviously not officially) on my last track day at Cadwell, they were going out in the advanced group just before the front riders came over the mountain.....had lapped them all within 3 laps, and there was some quick guys out on the advanced group that day
Phil....check out Louth Bikes, they have some cracking track bikes, stolen recovered bikes only a coupld of years old that cant go back on the road, most have hardly any damage at all
They just strip the road gear sell that and put track fairings one etc
Have quite a few for about 3k, CBR6's R6's Gixer 6's ,ZX6's, R1's etc etc
