October Track Days - Anyone booked anything?

[pmapp]

Hi Leon, where abouts are you in Wakefield? I'm in Ossett.

Lets make it an unofficial sv650.org track day

im doing Cadwell on the 20th. Anyone else? Would be good to see some more SV's there?

Crammy

I'm tempted, just got to speak with thne transport agency, I mean my dad, before hand. I'll probably book lateish depending on the weather forecast. But I'll be at Cadwell before the end of the year. Top track.

Did you do the GP circuit (the Melbourne loop) ... any pics?!?!

Not a lover of Donny meseln ... but then my first ever experience there was in the wet/very damp (after a long dry spell I had the first rain) and I had some BIG moments when I felt I was barely trying ... its a well know fact its an ice-rink in the first rain as the track sits in the flightpath of the local airport and you get all the Avgas fallout from the aeroplanes ...

I raced there in the dry the next day, but didn't do that well ... I think my experinace the day before had psyched me out mentally ...

Nope it was the national circuit - to be honest I dont think the Melbourne loop would have added any more enjoyment to it. Coppice had people going off fairly often - managed to avoid any tumbles myself, but by the last two sessions I had the pegs down on pretty much every corner - they are totally mullered now! Scraping the pegs at 100mph under starkeys bridge was a real highlight! I had only done Snetterton a few times before this - and its made me realise I need to get out and do more circuits!! No pics I am afraid - but there might be some video as a friend followed me for the last session - struggling to keep up on his K3 GSXR1000

Found some pics that were taken on the day - unfortunately even though I can hold my own in the intermediate group I cant get my knee down! So pics are not that exciting! Maybe with some leathers that fit properly and a friendly roundabout I will get there one day!!

Yeah, the Melbourne loop doesn’t add much to the lap!! Its just cool to ride the same bit as you see the big boys do on telly

I only have one pic to go by, but you are sat bolt upright, its only ya second trackday and you sound like you are cracking on with it, but you are gonna need to address that riding position before it becomes a bad habit and you are finding it is holding you back (as it is now with the scraping pegs!!)!!


When is your next one?!?!
