Doh!!!! Sorrrrriee … my laptop was proving to be a bit erratic on the CD front!! There are enough copies floating about that you should be able to get hold of one. But hopefully someone will edit and host/post some footage. Worst case I’ll post you one

Did the other copies come out ok?

I have just been watching them … I now have a crick in my neck where I was tilting my head whilst watching … bet you can’t help yourself from doing the same when you watch them

Oh and I got back ok too

Twas a supa day, nice to meet you all

Yes I believe so, but he was only on the grass.

Hiya all....

back safe and sound, althought the damn Fireblades immobiliser did its trick and left us stranded for an hour, luckily there was a nice Turkish cafe nearby.

Top days riding, great to meet everyone there and well done to those that went out and rode as well as they did.

I've a CD of all the vids, (well done to BlueSV for that!) and will post edited copies soon as possible.

Hope the painful muscles tommorow bring a reminder of the great day we had!

cheers
...

anyone for next week?

Got back safe and sound last night, 714 km (inc track) in total yesterday, although I did have problems keeping my knees against the tank at the end, they kept wanting to blow outwards. Today I am suffering from AOBA (all over body ache).

When I got home I watched the 3 sessions I recorded, and can pick up loads of mistakes I made. There's a fair bit of footage of every one in the blue group. I'll put this all on to some DVDs when I get my computer fixed/buy a new one and will send them out, don't hold your breath though as this isn't likely to be until a month or so.

Great to meet you all, a great day and great to be in the company of so many like minded others having fun.

What an awesome trackday! It is a lovely track, and the weather was perfect. I had a blast even though I couldn't do the last few sessions because I had completely worn out my brake pads... Many thanks to Blue_SV650S for taking the video footage!

A brilliant day, totally enjoyed myself even if I wasn't allowed to play in the same group as everyone else. Must find harder wearing toe sliders for next time as boots are expensive consumables

A HUGE thank you to Dan for organising it all. Totally gutted you couldn't be there mate, everyone owes you about a squillion beers and coffees

Im all back home now, aching all over, good day. A few bummers but fortunatly Blue_SV650S came to the rescue with a backup gear lever/bracket etc. so my day would not be stuffed.

Law: Bike did not go down on the tarmac, it just fell over when on the grass/gravel and stopped. So no damage to the crash protector.

Yeah, just to echo the general sentiment, good day out, first time back out for me after the foot op, took it nice and easy, the TT is a great bike for the circuit and could no doubt go faster, but I'd need better tyres and crash bungs to feel like doing that, but all in all as I say a good day.

Ricardo well did just enough to be the centre of attention for a time, without doing to much damage to his bike.

Blue_SV650S (sorry you did tell me your name, but I'm cr@p at remembering) for the support function and the videos (I’ve a couple on the CD that don't work, anyone got AVI_0002d.AVI they can let me have?).

Tim for making the trip from Belgium look like its 10 minutes away.

Toady for being the day’s photographer (nudge. nudge, where's the pics )

Sam for good lines, followed her for most of a lap on the last session, and although perhaps not as tight, she was on my chosen line most of the time, nice one.

Stu for the spectacle in front of me (glad you made it back in one piece and hope the ankles not to bad).

A mixed bag of abilities on the day, but I think everyone got something out of it.

Cheers Mark.

Not much to brake, as shown in the piccy, but had to brake an important peice but Blue_SV650S came to the rescue. I had to get it out the way early.
