Doesn't use all the track either, where possible, and is a fanny coming out of the corners too...

I would kill for a go on a litre bike round there.

P.S. Your avatar looks sweet Lenny. Lovely picture.

Ok, here we go.

I'm all twisted on each one of these, and my other legs is really flappy and not against the bike as it should be. Oh and I'm way wide of the apex on them all too And my bum is too far forward on the seat.

But, to be fair, I felt like I improved 100% from Session 1 -> Session 6, and Im not sure when these were taken.

At the time I didnt really care too much about lines (too much to think about :P), just got out there to have a blast

Am baaaaaaack big thanks to everyone who was at Silverstone for making it a memorable day in the sun. Special thanks to Flymo for getting my bike going again, you're a star mate I owe you a beer or 3 the tapping it trick came in handy at Doni too! And Hong, you're an animal you'll be a trackday god before you know it

Will post up about Donington/get the vids up after a bath, a sleep and then hopefully i'll feel human again - 2 trackdays and just over 300 miles of driving takes it out of you i'm now proper fooked!

Thanks again guys

Few piccies of meeee

Looks ok to me Hong. No hanging off at all on the lefts though? Or was it a bad shot?

Trackday addict maybe... you're too kind, I know how novice I am but its cool, I like the feeling of improvement ... You were great fun too mate, I appreciate you dropping down to get a bit of footage.

Mr Speirs, That was either early on in the day or one of the ones where I was getting tired. In sessions 4 + 5 I didnt really go all out all the way and took the corners as I needed to, was getting really knackered!

I do much prefer the right to left though. Only managed a tiny scrape on the left, once.

Where are you guys getting the great photos from? Did you pay for a CD on the day or something?

Also Hongman, your knee slider looks lucky to have stayed on judging by that photo.
