Thanks for all the messages of support, please PM me for my mobile number tomorrow (Thursday), maybe we can meet up?
I think I'll do a naked raindance tomorrow evening, try to frighten away those dark clouds...

As the organisers no doubt said...its not a race, you win nothing for comming first. Glad its a dry track for you all, enjoy and learn as much as you can about smooth lines and your bikes ability is my main aim on a trackday.

Great day -----Nice to meet you Tallguy-----Damp first session but stayed dry for the rest of the day.
Id like to say a big up to Metzeler for putting on this day for free.I will certainly look favourably on them when I replace the tyres if they reward their customers with days at Brands. Oh and I kept it on the tarmac too. That despite a slightly awkward brake fade "issue" in the last session.Newre and better pads required I think.

Agreed, had a couple of scary moments at Druids when I thought I was going to run out of track but always managed to just keep it on the tarmac
![]() ![]() The only thing I wish was different was the apparent lack of "novices" in my novice group! The rules were "no overtaking on corners, and the overtaking person must not get too close to the person being overtaken" ![]() Well done to Metzeler for putting this on, and very pleased to meet BB and L17. I've still got quarter of an inch of chicken strips on my tyres, but as Spiderman says, coming first was never the point for me, having fun & staying on track was. I think if I pushed much harder I would've collected some gravel ![]() Here's to the next one! ![]()

By the way, the weather stayed dry all day and I then got soaked on the way home from Guildford A31 towards Winchester - but it didn't matter 'cos the TRACK DAY WAS DRY HOOOORAY!
