Tempting. I'm up in Scotland for a week in feb so I'll have to check exactly when i get back but I'd be up for this at that price - just hope for a sunny day!

This is cheaper and includes novices too.

And it's for Suzuki owners only but debatable if this is a good thing or a bad thing. At least there could be plenty SV's (so one would think).
What exactly is a track day anyway? I've never been to one. Is it merely an oportunity to ride your bike to its top speed or is there more to it? What's £55 worth about it?

Just the opportunity to see what you are capable of around a track which racers normally go around
Snetterton is a good circuit for novices
A massive back straight and plenty of right handers to try and get your knee down.
It is good fun
Usually get 20 minute sessions at this track in groups of 20 -30
if others form here go i will definatley be there
i stayed in a local b&b last time but it would take about 90 minutes to go up in the morning from Wycombe way
Have a look at the video which we did while we were there

Presently I don't feel ready for this kind of stuff. Coming back from work today the roads looked like they were covered by black ice, which didn't help my confidence. I was going really slowly around corners. Come February though I may feel differently.

Rather random question Haluk, but is your avitar of your bike parked up at Halens in Cambridge? I recogniese their carpark (yes sad I know). I used to live down Mill road - halens was my local port of call for parts.
