Had another great day at Snetterton and have quite a few vids to upload but they take so long
This is from my standard K3 pointy ( yes standard suspension and brakes)

Excellent riding. I did Snetterton last year on naked Hornet - great fun but a pain with no wind protection. Is that little blue bike a VFR400? Corners well, doesn't it?

Yes as you know the bike will be better with better suspension, new pads/brake lines and shorter gearing and i may do some of this over winter on a budget. But i still had fun and the standard bike has more to offer than my skill!!
Yes i think that was a vfr400 i had fun with him on another session aswell, got a good video of my messing with a brand new Fireblade and GSXR750 !
Looking good, will be there on Sunday 13th fingers crossed we get some dry laps!
So that's right, right, left.... This is a long circuit, there is a fair bit of potential for me getting lost...

What camera do you use and where is it mounted?

Hi Chris,
I've done a fair few track days but not had to learn a long circuit in a while, I'll enjoy it I'm sure!
Feel free to say hello, details are in this thread (http://forums.sv650.org/showthread.php?t=204288), I shan't hijack yours

Take care on the third bend - left after the hairpin - it tightens up on you but was very well ridden by the OP. It caught me out on the third lap while trying to get by a Kawasaki SX1000 (he was slow in the bends) and I ended up going grass tracking.

Ive also seen quite a few people get caught out with the 3rd left on the infield (Hamilton).
I love the infield section,you dont lose out to the faster bikes in this section! Corum is a bit tricky now as you need to scrub speed off while your still lent over, this was the worst area for the standard pogo suspension!

A few more vids, both fairy messy in places due to lots of traffic!!
Ive had to reduce the quality due to you upload times if not... Oh listen to my bike jump out of gear at 5.03 in the first vid:( sounds very painfull!!
