I wish lucas had been in my group so i could have got him to follow me for a lap or 2 just so i could see. But he wasn't, so its clearly all his fault i cant get my kneed down. Cos it aint my fault, ich bin ein riding god as we all know.

Roundabouts on the way to Luton chris, really? God i do try and behave on the road but perhaps i need to get out more and use these super sticky tyres before there is nothing left of them and see if i can do it. Also my knee sliders are very flat, i;m sure if i had some of those fatter sliders then i'd have done it by now.

All in good time i guess

Another stupid question - as it is a novice evening only what happens if a novice turns up and gets on well, to the point that maybe they should have been inters?

Ah yeah I forgot you were in inters, doh. Mind you Lucas hasn't even got the video of anyone yet so you're not missing out!
Why don't we organise another southern .org rideout and we can follow you and take a look (if we get suitable road/traffic combos of course!)
Or at that RAF Northolt day if it comes to fruition, I would like to do it (weekend day permitting etc) so I could follow you and see if you like! I will be in inters (assuming they do groups at those sort of days) this time.

Nothing, I suspect, they don't seem to move people between groups intra-day as far as I can tell...

the zip is supposed to go most of the way round, but i've never seen anyone checked let alone chucked off for not having enough of it.

I'll let you know on the 25th ha ha ha.....

Nahh as its a novice only evening, i'd guess they'd just say "carry on, but give the slower riders plenty of room"


They wouldn't stop you. Some novices will be plodding around just enjoying the experience, some other novices will be fast road riders and will be trying harder.

So your gonna get massivly different speeds from each person on track anyway.

Blimey - did you take it down to the track to get tested then? That is pretty high, I am surprised!

That is really high - my mates GSXR750 SRAD with full Arrow system and no baffle was only 104Db at Snetterton! Did you rev it to 11000 or something??!
