Re: Quick track day question
I have Pirelli Diablo's on there at the moment, good tread front and rear but I'm going to replace them with all year tyres soon anyway, so thought I might as well destroy them on the track.
Main reason for doing a track day is so I can find out my limits and maybe the bikes (I'll bottle it before the bike does I reckon) as I simply don't want to do this on the normal roads...not so much for myself, but I'd find it hard to live with myself if I was pushing it, ****ed it and hurt someone else. Safety first! |

Re: Quick track day question
haha, well..at the moment I'm just too scared to reeeeally lob it around corners. If I see a nice long view up front that's empty and it's sweeping, I'll get it over as far as I can, I've not shifted my body over yet to try get my knee down, mainly just use counter steering to force it over. Probably completely the wrong way to do it but I'm a completely self confessed noob with no skills other than being able to predic idiots from quite a distance haha

TBH its easier if your riding really far to just stay the night closer to the track...i was still shattered from the day before but only had to ride 20miles and not get up at 3am. |

*checks google maps* Ah yeah, only 5 minutes, literally! Should go for a ride out sometime as I'm new to the south full stop, don't really know any good roads where I can push it a little harder. |

If you get leathers in time tis would be a good first track day for you becuase its only an evening seesion so not as long as a full day also its at brand which is only 45 miles away form weybridge as i live in walton and never have a problem riding there and back in the day

Re: Quick track day question
If your looking for leathers may I suggest these (no they arent mine).
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Hein-Geric...item27c9e3507c The strechy stuff is kevlar on them and they are top quality, most new leathers in the sub £600 arent made anywhere near as good as these. This was confirmed by Joyda as a cracking set of leathers for the price |
