chris128 Posted February 16, 2010 Author Share Posted February 16, 2010 PM sent mate, also this looks like what your after with a trailerhttp://cgi.ebay.co.uk/One-1-folding-mot ... 428wt_1160 thanks that looks ideal I'm speaking to trading standards tomorrow about whether or not I have got any chance of getting a full refund for my Audi A3 - how soon I can start buying this stuff depends on the outcome of that so we will see what happens.

golach808 Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 got my first proper track day booked, rockingham on the 9th of juneI have done the CSS before but that was 6 years ago and round stowe circuit at Silverstone.looking forward to it and weather is looking like a cracking day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
golach808 Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 thought i'd tell you about sunday if anyones interested. day was great only downside was a low side crash that has scraped my fairings, this was caused by me trying to hard to go faster through the corners. the bike is fine apart from the paintwork which is getting done next week. I was fine and back out next session a bit slower though but still enjoying it. I will be going again soon and may well look for a track bike and trailer to do them regular Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

golach808 Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 yeah stu it was great fun. at the end of every session I was back to pits buzzing. the crash never really bothered me was just more careful after that. should have started that way and would have come off like I said more to come on the track for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacLean Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Got first trackday week today at oulton! Fingers crossed for weather.How necessary is taping things up? I'm riding there (only 30min ride) - I was planning on pulling out headlight fuse, removing mirrors, bit of tape on the speedo and lowering tyre pressures - track prep done.Not particularly over the moon about taping the whole of the two headlights or indicators or rear lights. How necessary is it?Any other final tips? Getting mildly nervious now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitedevil Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 All i do is take my mirrors and numberplate off. I also take a few basic tools as well as duct tape, cable ties and spare levers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
golach808 Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 I left lights on as did a lot of others, mirrors can come off or tape them over. drop your tyre pressure when you get there and cover Speedo as you would end up looking at it, most important thing is to just enjoy, I was given the advice of not pushing it in the morning as you have all day should've listened but excitement got the better of me. I'll be back on track soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 taping is just been polite to the track owners and other users if you bin it all the glass/plastic stays with the bike which means less sweeping up and down time for others Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacLean Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Went on the first trackday today. Absolute blast! Perfect weather. Stayed rubber side down Opens your eyes to the skill of some of these guys.No knee down but completely obliterated my 'chicken strips' right to the edge. Being on my own was a bit intimidated at first but ended up in a garage with a really cool bunch of guys that helped me out a lot and even gave me a canister of petrol when I was running low for last session.Lent bike further than I thought possible. Bloody fantastic day, the bike seems like it belongs on the track more than the road lol. Will have to get a few more under my belt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
golach808 Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 mine was my first the other week I had a mate that was there with others so I had people around from the start but I was soon talking to others as we were all there with the same interest. which track was you at ? i'm thinking about booking my next one soon just have to check for days off as people on holiday at work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not going to be doing one for a bit due to me going on holiday but perhaps get one more in before the summers done, late july early august maybe.Did you have crash sliders on btw when you came off? Sounds like a very minor one anyway if you were able to keep riding it. I don't have any at the moment but have bought some r&g ones online.

golach808 Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 I didn't have any would have been a good idea as would have saved a bit of my fairing. I broke gear lever and bent clutch lever but fixed them so I could carry on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must be a good few?I take it your completely under the influence of trackday addiction actually this will only be my second full day, have done cadwell on performance plus ( which is half a day on track) one session at castle combe as part of a bikesafe day ( xmas pressie from my lovely man),#one full day at cadwell on a reclaim your tracks day ( birthday pressie from my best mate)and now donnington coming up, paid for by my bestie because he fancied doing it with his racer buddies and I think he secretly( or not so secretly as it happens) wants to coach me, and its my local track .am I addicted ...possibly...I find it much more exhilarating than riding on the road...the perfect environment in which to see what you are capable of ( and also what the bike is ) without the usual hazards or unknowns Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littlecat Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 this would be with the mate who moaned like hell when he saw my cadwell pics on account of the fact my arse is still on the seat !!!( hes been racing for years and is wired wrong in the head ... loves the manx and the southern 100 ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littlecat Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 I think he sometimes forgets ive only had my license 2 years and can barely touch the floor on any bike, much less my own, lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
