[chris128]

yay only 6 more days

[chris128]

2 more days hope the weather gets a bit better, forecast rain for both days at the moment... but then it said rain all day today and it stopped raining about 4 hours ago so hopefully the forecast is wrong as usual

hi just signed up to the forum i have literally just booked mine and came on this forum to see who else was going.. Are you going by yourself or with a group, just txt a mate to see if he can have a ride out with me but may be going by myself.. I'll be turning up at about 10am due to it taking me 2hours to get there dont really fancy setting off at 5.30am to get there for sign on on time lol..

[chris128]

I'm going on my own but if you look on TDR you will find a couple of other people on there going

What bike are you on and what group you booked in?

welcome to the forum SYMC0X, you fancy getting involved in the double in july??? and cadwell do camping if you wanted to drag a tent up with you then you can make it for the first session and enjoy the whole day as you will wish you did...

any track day that involves driving 2 hours ill go the night before and camp out (cadwell, anglesey, rockingham etc etc) only mallory and oulton as my brother lives near mallory...

yesterday was sooo much fun, alot of people laughed when i told them it was my first ever bike track day and asked me if i knew i picked the most demanding circuit in the country.. my first session was abit scary because i was having to learn the track and what gears to pick for each corner and other stuff like braking points and turning points.. but after that i just enjoyed it more and more, in my second session i think it was my front wheel came off the ground properly over the mountain.. was the first wheely i had ever done and was awesome then in my last session did one on purpose.. got rid of all the chicken strips on my back tyre which was also good but didnt achieve a knee down think it was my body position i was positioned correctly just didnt stick my knee out enough but came about 6inches off touching down.. heres a quick vid i made of grp 3 none of me cuz i went by myself.. enjoy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nyvL40l2ZRU

[Netmeister]

Nice one SYMC0X, glad you had a good day. Is it fair to say you've caught the bug?

Good innit. You'll pick up something new every time you watch it. Apart from the cheesey americans, it's great viewing.

Ah yes I forgot he was getting those bits sorted.

[Guest philgale]

SYMC0X where you from? and you joining us in july?

[Netmeister]

It's ok, Chris is here. I'll call the rozzers back and tell them false alarm

[chris128]

haha dont worry guys im fine (and so is the bike). Just editing the footage now, wont be up until tomorrow though as it will take ages to upload. In the mean time, here's some rather embarrassing c*ck ups I made on the first day, no idea what was going through my mind in either of these clips! Thankfully my riding got better as the weekend went on... got a new fastest lap of 1:57 catching you up Phil!
