At least you got more than a handful of laps in anyway. Something Im really fancying doing tho il maybe do a track day or two first before showing up at the ring all keen and crazy!
Awaiting some onboard footage from your laps.........

[h00dwink]

unfortunately there isn't any, otherwise the video would have primarily been of that. on a bike you had to be really crafty to get a recording device on track. not like in a car where you could just have it in your pocket or glove box.
this is because they don't allow unauthorised filming whilst you're lapping.
some guy had an 09 blade, and had taken out a headlight and put a bullet cam in it's place. was very clever. that's an example of what it's like.

Well, finally managed to come across some pictures of me on the Ring. There's only 3. They're not great but I feel they're better than nothing at all.
Got them off a site of some guy who (seems to) loves cars, were very
few bike shots on the gallery.
So here I am as background filler-

If you're not fast, the carousel isn't the place to be.

Tell Martyn to stop rolling off the throttle mid corner.

drop into the carousel, dont go round it, you lose loads of time and it sucks.

On the lap where there was a major crash (2 cars + 2 bikes) I went for it and it was an incredably strange feeling.
In that lap we'd presumably gone out just about the time of the accident as we both noticed we weren't getting any traffic behind us.
I'm not a big fan of left handers, far more confident on rights.
It felt odd that because the camber works with you, when you're in it you can be going much faster than if it were flat. A hard thing to convince yourself to do for fear of shooting out or sliding off.
Also, any stuff of you guys there?
