Default Re: 1st ever trackday!!

I've ridden to Snetterton from Felixstowe, about 50miles with a full tank and done the morning sessions.

Filled up at lunch time when the fuel place normally opens on the track, done the remainder of the afternoon and then ridden home with ample fuel.

The SV isn't heavy on fuel even when trashed on the track

Don't worry about the bigger bikes passing you on the straights, you'll have fun keeping up with them on the corners.

I used my Metzeler Z6's on the track in the dry, they were fine, got my knee down more than once. If its wet then stick your wets on if you want.

Trickiest bend to get right is at the end of the first straight under the bridge, as then you've got to flick it up for the immediate right hander.

Just enjoy your first one, by the end of the day you'll have a big grin on your face, but you arms & shoulders will ache from all the extra effort you're putting in
