Beat that bitches Cool

My friggin' camera fell off and I had to walk around the whole track to find the bloody thing Laughing On the plus side it isn't broken despite falling off at an estimated 100mph.

Anyone there today?

I had to walk round Brands looking for my quick-release fuel cap once, after it released itself a bit too quickly. Sad

It's amazing how much further it feels on foot...corners that are seconds apart on the bike take minutes to walk between.

Could have been worse though...Rockingham National is really short.

Aren't your track day posts usually accompanied by a video?

No video?

I am disappoint.

Walked the Shakespeare raceway strip looking for my rear wheel nut when it worked loose and almost spat me off.

Try walking Cadwell Park, the mountain is literally a mountain and mansfield is insanely steep!

Try unicycling Cadwell park Wink.

Ok, I cheated and walked up the mountain.

Lost my car keys at Snetterton once. In February, so was getting dark too. Got around the first two corners, gave up and called recovery.
Worked out nicely as I got to have a nap on the way home and didn't pay for the diesel Smile.

Sadly the footage of the actual session with the camera coming off was corrupted as the battery came out when it hit the ground (that took some finding).

Just to keep you from disappoint, here's a couple of laps from an earlier session. What the hell is that first bike you see in it other than mine? Can't believe how quick it is up that straight...

Looks like an SP1/2 to me.


Can't believe an SP1 would be that much quicker even than a crappy old ZX6R Shocked It looks like I was on the thottle earlier and then in the space of 100m he's past me.

Yea quite possibly. I did see someone riding around on a broken looking zx6 Laughing

The bike behind you looks like an r1 of between 04 and 08 vintage.

It doesn't just look broken Laughing

Were you actually out on track or just spectating? They were offering a few late sessions for £30 or something apparently.

I've stuck up some more footage on You Tube (links here...https://www.bikechatforums.com/viewtopic.php?p=3261363#3261363)

Trying to find a free video repair programme to salvage the video where the camera actually comes off...

Got a set at home already waiting to go on.

I'm asking £5000 for it anyway as it's a classic. They don't make them anymore so it has rarity value Dance!
