Posted: 18:43 - 14 Jul 2007 Post subject: Big Trailies on Track |
|
|
I've just spent the last two days thrashing my 990 Adventure around Cadwell Park in Lincolnshire. Not the most natural environment for a trail 'bike, but it was still good fun. I was wondering if I'd have got on better riding beside the track...
Anyone else done a track day on a BTB?

(In case you were wondering, I did get the front wheel off the floor over the mountain - just not when the photographer was there ) ____________________ Change is inevitable - except from a vending machine.

Unfortunately they've smoothed off the tarmac so you get much less air .
Glad you had fun, but reckon you should have done it with panniers on, just to really annoy the people you went past . |

Just got back from a blast on my SM.
Since i dropped it years ago on a roundabout and buried it in the garage as i moved over to cars i've lost 90% of my confidence on corners / brakes.
When i was learning i used to thrash around the local roundabouts, but they're in such a poor condition and heavily policed now i'd end up in hospital / prison before i knew it.
So, is Cadwell the shortest / slowest / small bike friendly place there is to build / regain confidence.
Yes, considering a trackday on a 125SM...... ____________________ "because one stroke isnt enough and four strokes waste two" |

As for getting the front wheel up, the photographer did catch it: https://gallery.jackstringer.co.uk/p43162360.html

How many air miles did you get for that wheelie? |
