Silverstone Track Day Today!

I was there a week last Monday laying rubber for them so I'm sure the lap record will go this weekend - happy to help, although my rubber was totally off line and from too late braking

 

Your supposed to get all the way round, that's over 3 miles!!! :Wideyed:

 

Did you see the new R1M that my mate trashed after borrowing it for a session :Wideyed:

 

Marshalls van dropped it off at the back of the garages outside signing on - about mid afternoon.

 

I was on a Silver 02 R1 with California Cycleworks stickers on it :Bag:

 

You do ride then

Still a real lack of footage on youtube. Keep looking for the fella I was following, one handed, knee down and waving

 

:Mooning: is that all you saw of me? And why didn't you wave back? What were you doing in the novice group
My first track day, dug the zip on leather jeans out and had to have a pit crew to zip me in each session :Facepalm: They were that tight the only thing my knee could touch was the tank but surprised a couple of guys at the hairpin both knee down, when I took them on the inside with mine still touching the tank
It was well hectic and not smooth, too many people breaking 100m too early :Wideyed:

 

Enjoy it? Hooked now? Coming to join us do a few?

 

It was fab, you could be my mentor
The only down side was the travelling before and after with a 4am start.
The guys I went with do a lot of European circuits so that would be a good adventure - they ship the bikes for free too :Happy:. They do Brno every year which is 40 mins from where my daughter lives so that has to be on the cards.
Would love to get my Endurance rep Kawasaki finished and on track though.

 

Euro days will make you stop doing UK ones

Brno is on most riders lists, pretty close to the top

 

Yeh, always liked the look of it on TV but having been close many times I've never been wife's cousin is mates with the daughter of the owner too.

 

I'm sensing the startof a trip...

 

I've got a new friend :Happy:

 

I'll ride with anyone matey

 

I agree, uk days are great and the circuits are good but you always seem to be at the mercy of the weather..........European day are the way to go, i'm lucky enough to be close to some great circuits, the standard is always pretty good and you don't have to take a spare set of wheels with wets.....
