Niall Mackenzie does a cheaper, smaller scale thing at Knockhill quite often... I missed them all last year because Knockhill couldn't organise, er, a trackday at a racetrack

But they reckon he'll be doing it again this year...

Tell a lie, there's a date confirmed for Monday 4th April, seems to be £135 for a half day. First trackday of the year is the 11th of April BTW... (to be continued in SV Ecosse)

Im off to donington to watch a few hardy souls doing a track day this morning

I shall be the spectator though :P

well, I went, it was ferking cool, but it is February :P

There were lots of bikes and bikers enjoying themselves................... with one pillock spoiling it

The kid on the new fireblade, with the new leathers, the new van and the new shiny tyre warmers and paddock stands.........

Ey, we can all bin it and stop a race, thus stopping other people having a good day, but to drop it twice within 2 sessions and then blaming it on cold tyres

The best advice he got, after he was recovered by the van, covered in mud and ****e was. "Well done mate, I should stick to motocross"

It's cold and damp, how can he expect to have warm tyres?

At least the price of the trackday was only £90, It undoubtedly cost his father a lot more

Knob. The guy on the 636 who couldn't ride last time we were up at Knockhill kept on complaining that he had no grip... "I can't keep up with you on these Rennsports..." "Rennsports? I was on Roadtecs! Knob...

You don't crash because you don't have enough grip... You crash because you're riding too hard for the grip you have... (or at least I do)

Well said that man :P

It was a shame really, it was a real pretty fireblade if there is such a thing
