  2. I'm looking for European trackdays in February or March to kick-off testing in 2015. Where would you guys recommend?
     
  3. Well I've only been to Almeria before and going again with FE in February. It's quite a good mixture of a track - some fast, some technical. It's used quite a bit by many Brit racers for testing - it's really only a test track. Heard tell that Tito Rabat is a frequent visitor. FE have 3 day and a 4 day events scheduled for the end of Feb - I'm doing the 4 day.

  15. I need some tips for keeping me sharp over the winter months. Lack of time on the bike is always an issue for me. What do you chaps think to pit bikes or moto-x?
     
  16. Tried Moto X , bashed my head and saw c-beams glitter in the dark near Tannhäuser Gate.
    I think I may try X-box instead...:(
     
  17. Ride my multistrada. Making progress on wet, cold, leaf strewn roads helps ;)

    Although most racer mates seem to hit the enduro and off-road. But nothing round here for that :(
