hovis & zombie jesus do FIRST track day

meet zombie in cardiff for 8.30 then got to llandow for 9am, sign on hand over 90 notes then ½ hour breifing.
split in to 3 groups

novice, intermedate & expert, so we were in the novice group.

we were told we would have 15 mins on the track, then come in for the next group.

so.... the first sessoin was a no overtaking one, got back in a bit dissapointed, as it was a bit slow. but we had another 4 sessions b4 dinner which overtaking was allowed great i loved it

after dinner we were advised to move up to the intermediates, which we did which i found i could just about keep up but did not have the power to overtake so after 2 sessions i droped back down to the novice (zombie did'nt)

the track was ace although i struggled to overtake on the streights, so i had to do it in the bends which included a R1 fireblade triumph daytona

did not get my knee down.............. toe but not knee
this was done on the 1st 2 sessions

there was a professanal photograher there so piccys to follow

it was organised by P.R.I.D.E. motorcycle training so was £10 more than normal but the guy running it would advise you & you could go out with a radio on & he would talk you through it.

nice one hovis! nice to see the boots are ruined!

Awaiting picy's ....................

The only thing that photo proves is that you forgot to take a packed lunch and decided to eat you boot.

On a more serious note, that toe slider seems to have died rather quickly....was it made of cheese? You have destroyed the sole as well....methinks hovis is after an excuse for some new yellow boots

glad you had a good day ..

yup............. it has been pointed out b4 & did not relise how bad it was, i did correct it when i saw the mess on my boots, but found myself slipping into the old habit now & then.

good job they were only £30 boots.

it would probably be better to treat the cause rather than the symptoms
