Regarding tuition, you have to hunt for it a little as there are only six or so instructors and around 80 -100 ish riders, although many of the Fast group will ask for tuition really. Anyway after the guy followed me and i followed him for a bit he gave me a "de-brief". I learnt a little from him and it was very useful. Highly recomended, so try and get your moneys worth.

Good tracks i'd say would be Mallory Park due to it being quite short so easrier to learn and Silverstone National. Also Rockingham National was good as the faster bikes didn't monster me on the straight s it's quite short. I was in inters and had no problems.

Track days are brilliant to help you learn more and realise the capabilities of your bike in a safe (compared to the road) environment.

With cost, it changes a lot depending on the track and the time of year. From as little as £49 for a crap track in the middle of winter to £219 for a corker in the peak of summer...

Oulton is not recomended as a 'first' track day apparently. Quite afew of the regulars found it highly amusing when I told them
Without the benefit of having done any other tracks I enjoyed myself so just have a go
Take it from me though; take it easy around Lodge the first couple of laps
I still have a crease in the seat where I clamped onto it ...............

Definately worth a look at this thread if you do book yourself onto a track day. Some useful information in there.
