i meant a bit more

you really aren't far away, remember that time we rode to heine gericke in luton? on a couple of those roundabouts you were soooo close to getting it down.

Lol you two...

Maybe Lucas has some video that might be useful - you had used all the tyre so it must just be body positioning, but it could be **** position, leg position, etc etc. Might be good to see!

No assed about getting knee down at all.

Unless your a fast track rider, just hanging off and getting your knee down will actually slow you down on track.

If you just ride, and get faster, and faster, eventually it will come. Im not into roundabout knee downs.

As for 6 years, well I was riding at 5, and im 28, and still not done it. Don't ever see the point on the road, just can't trust the surface enough.

It'll come, on a track day, at some point. Really not bother about this though.

RE crashes, run that risk in any evening session really. Seeing as its a novice only session, I can't see toooooo many nutters trying to crash their bikes.

Just gonna go enjoy it.

Still, £80 for an evening, bloody paid £90 for an open pitlane all day track session in the car at Snetterton. Brands charge too much!!

Is there any noise restrictions? Just a was at Silverstone for the day and they were advertising the evening session that had a strict 98db noise limit.

Not sure.

But bearing in mind that its for YOUR safety, do you really want to game the rules just to get out there?

1 peice leathers

OR 2 peice leathes that zip together.

Don't want no leathers sliding up your body if your sliding down the road I guess. Textiles won't be allowed im afraid.

So has anyone else signed up for it?
