Altho in my defence the wind was unbearable, I could barely stand still let alone hold a camera straight, my video is erm....awful. I'll try and chop the non wobbly bits out. |

It must've been just after you left The pictures Phoenix took were of the last Novice Session. No one even bothered with the faster groups final session (it was hailing a bit). ____________________ "Unlike public school you don't need to have your arse up and your head down to go a long way...." |

Finally got round to sorting through the 637 ( )pictures that Keith took. Got it down to around 100 by selecting some at random. These probably aren't a selection of the 'best' photos as I just selected some and removed others (there were loads of Mike and myself).
Anyway, you can see them here.
Cheers for the quality pics Keith. ____________________ "Unlike public school you don't need to have your arse up and your head down to go a long way...." |

They are some good pictures well done to those that took them.
I for one had a really good time on the track, the first session I was a bit wobbly around the bends as I got used to them. Second session I improved loads, getting right knee down on quite a few of the bends.
Third session was the best, Finally managed to crack the left knee virginity and found the CBR250 was outbreaking and out cornering alot of the big bikes (even a 2004 R1 ) By the final session I was ready to go home, legs were very sore and wasn't looking forward to the 160 mile ride home!
Was a bit fragile the next two days but it was worth it. Anyone concidering a track day don't do it, they are way to addictive Can't wait for my next one. |

So Mike, when we doing Cadwell again?
Like Mike said it is amazingly addictive and I would love to do it again, preferably on my own bike this time (the stoopid thing decided it didn't want to run around Cadwell with me and broke down on the way). In some ways it was perhaps better that I was on the VFR and had to push the bike a little more although I still couldn't keep up with Mike .
Fave moment for me was when mike and myself were over taken by an R6 on the straight only for us both to go round it again on the next corner..... me on the outside, mike on the inside.
Oh and as for feeling fragile, I was absolutely knackered, sore legs and wrists for the two days afterwards, but this was partly due to being crammed onto the NC30 (although I had never suffered before). ____________________ "Unlike public school you don't need to have your arse up and your head down to go a long way...." |

You should absolutely come on the CB Major. Goose says he'll come on the Bros if you do.
And I'm up for doing Cadwell as soon as possible, May anyone? |

I was bloody slow on the Blade! Hope to be better next time having that bit more confidence.
Wonder if they'll let me go on the MZ? ____________________ Back on a Blade. Just feels so right. |

Grooves - you ain't slow.
Remember, I rode with you down at Boxhill when you'd only just got the CB5 and you were doing fine that day, now that you've had it a bit you'll probably embarass a few people (including me). And I recall you saying that the police rider you rode with on the Bikesafe thing reckoned you were pretty quick too.
Yeah, the bigger sportsbikes will probably have you down the straight, but round the corners...
Besides, trackdays are all about pushing *your* limits. I didn't overtake a single thing last time, but was happy that by the end of the day I was keeping up rather than being passed by all and sundry. And I had fun, which is what matters. |
