Taken at Cadwell on Monday, at my 1st ever trackday. Borrowed my BinLaw's R1 for the day. Great day, but boy is it exhausting !!! 20 minutes of intense physical activity x 7.

Oh tell us more.
Going again (apparently it's a slipy slop that can lead to race bikes and allot of enjoyment).

Going to Croft on the 29th. This time on my GSXR750. Can't wait.

The bug is bitting lol.

Ron you make that R1 look like a 125.

bet you had fun on that R1 :-)

R1 felt huge compared to the 750 ! loads more room and the tank 7 bars are wider than 750. Only thing I didn't like were the racing brake pads, they didn't half bite. Got the back end up twice and ended up having to miss the chicane and take the escape road, even punched a cone on the way thru', LoL.

this comment adds fuel to the nearly extinguished fire that Ron was annoying people in the Dumfries area a couple of months back....

Hope you had a great day at Cadwell (the most beautiful track in the UK if you ask me, which you probably don't)

i agree and more to the fact he had a urine infection around that time which IIR makes you go mental in the head.

never mind the phantom raspberry blower Ron is the phantom willy waver.

Thanks for sharing that with the world, bibs.
Cadwell is ace. Did a circuit walk at dusk sunday night, was a lovely wee stroll. Surprised how steep the gooseneck is. Compared to the dump site that is Knockhill, Cadwell is lile the garden of Eden.

[Bibio]

ooooopppsss...

so it was you then :-)

yes i agree knockhill is a fekin joke, race track... ermm no its a go cart track. i have been saying it since i was a teen 'Scotland needs a premier race track and not some peat bog with a bit of tarmac'.

Great stuff Ron

Glad you enjoyed it

How was the R1 compared to your GSXR750 :-)

Bit of a beast! The torque makes it feel more like a V-Twin than IL4. Surprised it didn't feel that much quicker, just has more torque and less need to rev the a*rse off of it.

Still had it on the limiter in 4th down the straight! Couldn't tell you how quick, speedo taped over - good idea as well. Would have scared the beejeesus outta me to see those numbers. LoL.
