B0llocks to that, dizzy. I've never met you (I've only been lurking around here for a few months) but you seem to be a fairly well adjusted adult with her priorities in the right place. I'm sure riding on a track is fun (I never have but I've driven round tracks quite a bit, which I enjoyed a lot) but it has NOTHING to do with riding (or driving) on the road. Braking points, racing lines, knees down; it's all fine but it has one basic thing missing - the possibility of stuff coming the other way. Believing you can ride (or drive) like a racer on the road is egotistical cr@p unless you do all your riding on one way roads.

I'm sure at this point I'll get shot down by some wannabe Power Rangers but I'm fine with that. So, dizzy, get back out of your corner, clean up the wee and grow old (ha, I've got seven years on you, you're not even vaguely old) doing whatever makes you happy. Ride for yourself, not for the Sunday Trackday Brigade. And remember, when the offending individuals take the perfect racing line round a bend and disappear under the Citroen Saxo doing the exact same thing in the opposite direction, they won't be able to kick you in the teeth any more. And you'll still have the kids, the cats, the dog and a life you're proud of.
