Is anyone else at this track day on Thursday? My family gave me the trackday and R6 bike hire for my *0th birthday so I'm going to have some fun. My first one so I just hope it's not p***ing down as it has done for the past 3 days.

Yep, I'm gonna be there on my trusty Black k5, and it's my first time too.

D'you reckon they'll be gentle with us?

yep, sorry, should have read:-


'p888ing down'


AND


'%0th birthday' ............. oops done it again!!:D




D'you reckon they'll be gentle with us?

Maybe.............but let's hope the weather's gentle. Can't wait to try out the race prep'd R6 but part of me is wishing i was taking the trusty :smt049 SV.
Got a very early start from Southampton but thankfully my daughter's driving.

What number was on your hire bike?

I was in bike 15 in group 1 (learners) Shoei helmet and Aprillia leathers. Had a fantatic day.

Took a bit of getting used to how far I had to wrench the twist grip to get the R6 into the power band (it don't go at below 10k, just bogs down). But after that and with the help of the drive round in the minibus at lunch time to explain the lines and following an instructor for a sesion it was the best fun in years.

Look for the DVD in the 200th issue of Fast Bikes.

I'm doing the evening session. I'm leaving now and I CAN"T WAIT!!!

Hope you had as much fun as I did and didn't wreck your tyres before you trip to the AR07.

All the gear ... I do hope these two boys were fast ;)

Is the bottom one actually a reporter from 'fast bikes' or just a plonker with too much cash?!?! :D

P.S. Some pin sharp photos there Jdubya, I see you are using a Canon EOS 400D :study:

This time they were shooting a DVD about track days for their 200th issue. They wanted to interview a novice so for an exhorbitant fee I agreed to an interview. Fame and fortune at last.:rolleyes:

'I asked how much I'd be paid?';)

When he (Jamie Wilkins) stopped rolling round on the floor claiming how poor bike magazine deputy editors were paid I agreed to do it for a free copy of the mag (no fame and fortune after all). You'll have to buy the mag to find out what I said in the interview coz I can't remember myself except usual trite stuff about how much fun I'd had -everyone should have a go etc..
