Here's a few bits from on board my bike at Cadwell yesterday, will post the videos from today once I have edited/uploaded them. Phil do you want to stick yours in this thread too? Even if they will put mine to shame :P


Was a great 2 days, even though the Friday was quite damp, was brilliant weather today though and I cant wait to do another one :) Nice to meet Phil and a few others as well (thanks again for all the help!)



This video is from yesterday when I was in the novice group, when I put the video up from today where I was in the intermediate group you will notice a lot less overtaking and a hell of a lot more people overtaking me! :P

EDIT:

Quick video of some random close encounters (they were actually a bit closer than they look on video as the camera has a fisheye lens) :

EDIT:

Here's a video from the following day where I was going a bit faster as I was more used to the bike :)

EDIT:

Here's PhilGale's video (which I cant watch yet as I'm at work but I bet it p*sses all over mine :D)

It was good to Meet you today Chris and to catch up with everyone else.

Great ride over there as well


Love the Video on 41secs when the guy overtakes you on the left, then completely misses the bend and goes up over the bank with his brake light twitching on and off :lol:

He was never gonna make Coppice on that line :roll: but lucky not to take anyone out and stay on the bike. I've eaten dirt there after being punted off by a guy trying something similar :x

lol yeah in one of the other videos someone comes past at the same sort of speed on the same line and actually gets round the corner, which I was impressed with haha

Yeah it was great to meet you and your family and thanks once again for helping me out. By the way I managed to drop the bike while I was getting it off the trailer when I got home haha I bet that doesnt surprise you. No damage or anything, it just fell over when I undid one of the straps and somehow stayed on the trailer so it didnt hit the ground or anything.


There's a 2 dayer at Cadwell on 27th and 28th March if you are interested! :D Its a weekend so £210 in total for both days.

jesus chris, dropping it already lol...


no worries about the help mate thats what we're here for...


and 3 mins into one of your vids i come past :mrgreen: and then out brake the 3 in front of you into park...quality bit of riding even if i do say so myself :lol:


your looking a lot quicker than you did on the road bike, looked to be going well....just bottle a few overtakes which you could of had easily....oh and a brembo master cylinder will have you braking much later into the corners :twisted:


and no can do end of march, ill be working and money wont allow, its 60 quid in fuel just to get there and then about another 40 quid for the bike so 200 for the day turns into 300 plus food and camping....


plus im at anglesey the weekend after...

haha I think it was 4 people wasnt it? It surprised me when you passed me coming out of coppice, I was riding really hard to keep up with the other guys and then you just nipped round me like I was doing 30 mph! :P

Yeah it did take quite a bit of getting used to but by the afternoon of the second day I felt like I was going a lot better than before - knocked about 6 seconds off my best lap time so I must have been :P

Ah fair enough, I forgot how far/expensive it is for you just to get there. I think I'm definitely going to do it though so I'm sure you'll see some videos from me here shortly after :)
