I reckon Knockhill would be absolutely perfect... It's a great track, good for all grades of riders, easy to learn but hard to master. It's quite varied, and twisty enough that the SV doesn't get left for dead in the right hands. Good run-offs, and quite forgiving overall... Only really let down by the vey poor facilities (some tracks have pit lanes, tyre fitters, technical support, instructors, camera bikes... Knockhill has a radio and a kettle)

But then again, it's about as convenient as Laguna Seca for most of the .org Sure we'll be making an Ecosse appearance there at least once this year though, and naturally all are welcome- Wigan's ridden up twice for Knockhill trackdays, for example. OK, so once he got soaked, turned up late, and never went on the track, and the other time he, er, got soaked, turned up late, and got in about 5 laps... But it might have worked out
