...made an appearance on a very regular basis.

While there, I noticed that this bike had different riders every session... :shock:

...the reason for this I was told was that it was the new 675 being tested by a few riders participating in the new T3 organised one make 675 series next year :wink:

Throughout the day I saw different bikes with riders of different ability but the nuttiest of all in the wet and the dry were riders on this types of machine... :wink:

I was particularly impressed by the sound delivered from the exhaust on this... :shock:

Mostly these days I see the newer models on track.
These three were quite fast in the dry as well...

Great photos - will be there next week the 3rd - want to come and take my photo?:lol: very interested to hear how it went in the wet then dry? Did they seem to still enjoy it in the wet? or did the safety car keep the speeds done all the time, or what did the safety car do? Did the track dry fast when it stopped raining?

The saftey car only came out when a bike went down...all of them minor offs...lowsides...
Track dried fairly quickly because of the spray and the breeze. I'll be down there on the 3rd as well...taking photos though :(

I have but there are loads of people doing it and it is a dogfight out there at the moment. I'll see what happens...I'm trying to get my website sorted at the moment to try and get some of my work out in the public domain. :?
