Girls only trackday

+1 I've had that quite a bit actually - people almost taking us both out in a desperate bid to get back past me on the next corner, especially when I had the SV!

Mind you that said I do know some crackers and extremely competitive girls, so I don't think it's just the guys

That kind of thing is one of the reasons that I like riding wider circuits at trackdays, as there's more space for passing eachother

To be honest, it doesn't matter if you are a girl or a boy - you will always get idiots on track days who are obsessed with overtaking as many people as possible!

One of the best things about the fast group is this kind of bravado doesn't exist so much. Inters is the worst as it is full of the "I have done a couple of TD's, got my knee down and now I have to pass every single person" type riders.

The thing they seem to forget is that an RVF400 will outbrake nearly anything, especially with a 9 st (in full kit) rider...

Other one she said was horrible was the groups of 'mates' who were all riding together and if one passed the others would force their way through too.
