Yeah I was a bit miffed at that - I even wore one of those stupid vests so people would give me a bit more room/time to learn, but some of them didn't bother and often I found I was being done on the inside of druids under a yellow flag...

I reckon, if we hadn't worn one, we'd probably have got a bit more respect lol and maybe not had it done so often!!

Live and learn eh? It only mildly spoiled a few laps, but the thing is he did say if there were people spoiling the day they would be black flagged for the session or whatever, but despite the offs and some pretty reckless driving in the novice session it never happened.

Apart from the odd number of crashes in Novices I had no complaints RE overtakes. Suppose there was one slightly "Oh no that's fine - I didn't really want that piece of tarmac anyway" roll of the eyes. But it was more in the line of "well cheers mate" than "Arghhhhh Help!". Maybe the ugliness of the CBR created an exclusion zone or something? I do remember showering that morning so it can't have been me.

That said I didn't see any of the shenanigans going on in inters or advanced.

Well as you didn't have to walk home because Lucas had your keys...

I don't think at anyone from the .org caused anyone one else any real cause for concern - I don know there were a lot of probably unwarranted apologies going between us in Group 1, but I know the couple of issues I thought I had caused turned out to be non-issues when discussed.

But yes there were some people out there I wasn't happy being on the same track as.

IIRC when Lily sold it him.

Good pics guys. I could never be good enough, or brave enough to do a track day. Especially if they mix up experienced novice track riders like that. Plus I get spooked by IL4s going yeeeoooooooaaawwwwn on the overtake

Yes you are - & they even run novice only track days. Hell of a lot less scarey than the road too.

Oh gawn - youwill youwill youwill...

Yeh as she says. Sorry Luke missed your question till i saw this.

I got taken out by a van in October but thankfully the bike was far worse off then me. So i got myself a nice red pointy one.

Didnt quite feel as nimble on it as i did on my old naked one tho.

Dizzy...anone is good enough to do a trackday. Its not a race , contrary t the way some ride like it is. Its a great chance for you and your bike to push yourselves to your own limits.
And its a great experience too, so go do one and catch the bug
