|
|
Does anyone have any tips, do's and dont's on brands? I rode it AGES ago in 2009 and have forgotten pretty much everything they told me there.
Aiming to head there in a month so getting bikes sorted beforehand but would like any decent info on it by people that have ridden it |

Going to be my first trackday - any tips to avoid leaving a potato would be great and more importantly, to avoid leaving with a smashed bike |

I'm most worried about other bikes to be honest rather than crashing myself lack of mirrors, or at least lack of them being any use and people darting either side of me is going to be a bit un-nerving at first I expect
Hopefully won't get too many kamikaze's out there |

In the briefings they state that overtaking slower people is fine, but responsibility is 100% on the one behind... usually they'll say no overtaking up the inside of someone once they have started to turn into a corner, or once you're in the braking zone.
Anyone overtaking should be giving you plenty of space, and likewise you should leave plenty of space when you overtake.
You may have people overtaking round the outside, but most people tend not to... because if the bike on the inside tucks the front wheel and lowsides, could take them out too.
A trackday is not a race, there are no points for being quick or overtaking, so people aren't gonna hustle others, and if they do, the marshals will be on them so quickly.
I've been to track days before (not on track, but watching, or helping out with someone who is on track) and have seen people black flagged for bad driving/riding. Usually one warning to tell them what they're doing wrong, and if they don't fix it then they're out and not coming back.
I wouldn't worry. ____________________ Current Bike: 1999 Honda CB600 FX Hornet

Aiming for the 9th July as its my only valid day off work and works with my birthday/holiday period etc
Probably going to try the Daytona once I've done a session or 2 on the SV, purely to shake it down properly and make sure everything is a-ok.
Does anyone know if you can run 2 bikes so long as they are sound checked? |

Planning to do my oil this week pre-euro. Do you reckon i'd be alright to leave it for brands [will of only done 1k miles or so] or get some totally new stuff in there just before still?

I wouldn't be too fussed on such fresh oil. You probably do 100 miles, if that on track.. likely less I'd assume. Only doing mine often because one isn't mine and one is on the road, both actually need to be working before and after the track day |

Old Thread Alert!
