Well Maurice chose well and had a nice day for his trackday. a bit cold but apart from that dry until the last session.

the BCF curse bit unfotunately and Maurice had a little collision with another bike and came off second;

Good pictures. Looks like you can get quite close to the track (I've never been to Brands) and see a lot of it? What camera were you using?

As I said in the other thread, hope Maurice isn't feeling too battered and bruised. At least he has pictures of his moment of fame Confused

Hi Silver,

the camera was a Canon EOS 300D with 18-55 and 75-300 lenses.
Driven by myself or G.


Swaffs.
I expect Maurice is aching this morning. I know that when I crashed and went out again all afternoon with little or no pain.
Turned out the next day I couldn't move (broken rib) Adrenalin is a strange thing. Rolling Eyes

Thanks for the photos, at least I got something out of it Smile
I'm not bad apart from the usual aches and pains, though managed to twist both ankles (one more than the other), so I'm not a fan of stairs at the moment. Thanks for the comments Smile

I don't think anyone took any times. Well G was going to in the 6th session but I'd called it a day by then, was starting to feel uncomfortable. I wasn't going round at any pace anyway tbh, quite concerned about being taken out again only this time with a gaping hole in my jeans Confused

A few RS125's off the aprilia forum went along, as well as a R6 and GSXR600, don't suppose you saw them?

That's what I bought Northernlass for Christmas, although just with the 18-55mm lens. I'll hope for some good results then Thumbs Up

In the first pic, the person on the right (maurice's left) who is looking back, is the one that maurice collided with.

Someone else watching reckoned the other bloke moved sideways into the position maurice was in; he had previously overtaken maurice, then ran wide to leave him next to him apparantly.
