Hi there, been registered here for a while but hang out on the Biker section of PHeads...
I (and three of my friends) will be attending Snetterton on the 21st - hope the weather holds out!
This will be my 3rd time on the track, will be in the beginners but think it's time I moved up to the next group as I was held up in the corners last time.

Didn't see you there? Did you end up going?
I crashed out on the second session
Lost the rear end on the esses - think there was something on the track...

yeah I did go, I did spot you as we were lining up to go on track but I was a few rows back, I also saw you after your crash on the side of the track, bad luck hope your bike is okay. I was the one on the red and white CBR that was holding everyone up (complete with yellow super man cape)
I got there a bit late so ended up right up towards the chicane so it was a fair old walk to the garages, hence why i didnt go down there much.
im just pleased the weather held up
Ill post my pics as soon as I get them on the computer ____________________ **************Honda CBR 600 FR***********

Hi there... there's enough damage to make my eyes water again... new side fairing, exhaust, rearsets, air intake... all adds up and I cannot afford to keep chucking money down the road (so to speak)... Would be good to see your pics - you should have said "hi" ! ____________________ GSX-R 1000 | SCENIC 1.6 |

ouch that sounds expensive. I would have said hello but whenever I saw you I was either sitting rows behind you waiting to go on or you were at the side of the track ;0)
as promissed here are the pics, most of them taken by the photographer but a couple from a friend on the side lines. still no where near my knee down but definatly on the edge of the tyre ____________________ **************Honda CBR 600 FR***********

Nice pics!
Don't like to give advice being that I was the one of the side of the track but you're too upright - your position on the bike is wrong if you want to go faster...
Depends on what you want tho - if you're happy at your current speed etc then great, it's all about fun at you're own level and my crash shows the risk when you turn up the speed.... ____________________ GSX-R 1000 | SCENIC 1.6 |

the trouble being 6' 5" is that not being upright is actually quite uncomfortable but I do know what you mean. and the advice is always helpfull no matter if you crashed or didnt .
Im just happy with being faster than I was at rockingham, which I think is going to be my first trackday of next year, maybe march april time.
my only worry is, looking at the pics and my tyre afterwards is that I am on the edge of the tyre ? so what happens if I lean more ? it may sound like a stupid question but I would have thought after that point I would start loosing grip ? or do I just need rounder (if that makes sense) tyres ? so that the tread goes further round ? ____________________ **************Honda CBR 600 FR***********
