I've never ridden one but it was pretty special. Loved the gixxer fairings on it!

She was trying to fix the power valves on it, the servo was going the wrong way and closing/opening the valves when it should have been opening/closing them.... We got it working in the end but the fuelling was all out. Still a case of work in progress.

Samnooshka - They were some really cool dogs!

I was there on the number 11 SV, second trackday so far, I did Brands last month. They are quite similar in shape, well I thought so anyway. Lydden almost seems to be a smaller reverse version of Brands.

Reverse? which way round were you going at Brands.....!

Lydden is a similar shape to brands.

But in terms of circuit direction they are reversed...

[Red Herring]

I have done quite literally thousands of laps around both circuits, I can promise you that apart from when I did the European Supermoto round at Lydden they are both clockwise circuits. They both have one long right hander, one 90 right involving a hill, and one right hand hairpin. They also both have a left hander although Brands Indy does have the addition of a left hand sweep as well.
I guess you could say the layout of each is mirrored by the other as the bends are in the opposite order.....

Ah ha! Thats right!

I've just concluded that I'm a pedantic old git who should have known what you meant at the start, or was that the beginning.....

I should have said 'mirrored' it would have described what i meant a bit better.

Either way its a lovely circuit. What group were you in Red Herring?
