Couple of things.....

Firstly, creepiest song EVER.

Second, nice body positioning throughout Thumbs Up Wink

Needs more riding footage.....And some of those bikers lines, scary shizzle!

Thanks, yeah the music is pretty intense.

I purposely didn't want to post a 20 min video of 6 laps that's hard work to get through. Fair comment though, there is some benefit to see how good someone really is where you can't edit out the fluffed gear changes.

Yeah quite agree, 20 min vidoes are rather pain staking.

I have never done Bedford Autodrome before, I might have a youtube stalk on the place.

What track was your first outing? And plans for a 3rd?

Good body position in the pic Thumbs Up

Did I spy a bit of a spin up on the rear exiting a corner? Laughing

Yeah I always presumed it was a bit of a mickey mouse track as it isn't as iconic as some, saying that it's a good combination of straights and technical corners with ample run off. My first track day was Bedford too. After I save some money up I am tempted to ride to the Nurburgring!

Yes you did. I thought that was me done and I was coming off, who would have expected the rear wheel going sideways to be so unnerving?! I must have backed off the throttle slow enough to keep it under control but did ride straight into the pits to calm down a little.

Ah Nurberg, Yeah I have been there, although I did do the track on a Hornet 600 in Gortex gear, so probably not as much fun as I could have had...BUT, I'd say you'd need a weekend there to get to know/make the most of it.

Highly recommended though.

You live in London right? Why don't you sign up at Brands Hatch? That's my favorite track ever.

I will be moving back down south in October. If it's still warm enough I will be getting some track time there asap Wink
