Prehaps buy a cheap road worthy or even just pure track bike, that way if you slide down the tarmac your not too worried about fairings etc...

Good thing is your much safer than you would be on the road Newts.

Sorry i couldn't make it in the end, but came too the uk in the car and was back on island by the 16th ... will see if i can do a track day with you sometime next year because i've been fancying ago for a while now.

That's what I was going to do but it worked out just about as economical as to trash my SV than to trash a cheap gsxr. If the bike was my only/main form of transport I would have done it though.

Yeh i wouldn't be so happy stuffing mine up still, yours is a early pointy right Dave?

To be honest i want to sell it anyway so thats probably part of the major reason i certinaly don't fancy ditching it anytime soon.

Its pretty much inevitable that you will bin your bike on the track at some point.

People say just take it easy, but if your like me you always want to push yourself that little bit more.

Looks like you had a good day weather wise, cadwell in winter is normally a nightmare for water running across the track and slippy leaves on the mountain section.

Amazed you could ride comfortably with your visor like that also

Pipes dreams... everyone would love a second bike. You may as well do it on your current bike to see if you enjoy it first.
