Well had probably one of the best track days ever, though wet very first thing it dried up nicely for a cracking day, big thanks to @tcrofty7 ,@Expat Jack , @duc996bp . And few other who aren't on here. And big thanks to @iamme for helping with pit duties, paddock stands and bringing cups of tea.
Awesome day mate. First ever track day with zero flags in my group and only three flags all day (one red, two yellow all in Novice). Ace.
Was there, was in the next garage. Great day, first session was a bit damp and not as much fun but second session onwards was a perfect day for it. The 996 was some nice eye candy, was in queue and heard it next to me, love the dry clutch noise Shame for the guy on the 1199 in there with an oil leak, felt for him as first thing in the morning so shame on such a good day, do you know did he get it sorted in the end? Back there on 12th sept, cant come soon enough
I'm there on the 12th too. The guy on the 1199 fitted a cheap Chinese clear clutch cover the day before. Asking for trouble if you ask me.
Ahh he said it was already on there, didnt realise it was a recent change I have a ducabike one on the 959 when I bought it, hated it since day 1 - will get removed this winter when I do the track conversion and get proper casing, and protector on it. I was behind him for a lap or 2 and could see how bad it was, was glad to get past him! Told him about it and offered to assist so surprised he went out again, I wouldnt of risked it for sure Will drop a note up on here few days before, perhaps aim for same garage - Im on a 959 with foggy stickers all over it
Too true. Not only a danger to himself but also to everyone one else on track. Totally dumb ass to go out again if it was that bad. After having lost 2 hours at Snetterton and a further 90 minutes at Cadwell the other week due to oil spills I am not sympathetic I’m afraid especially if the rider knows he has a leak. Straight black flag in my book.
If you are leaking any fluid, get the f*ck off the track and stay the f*ck off the track. What an arse.
instructor time for me next time see if i can sort that bloody left double apex out. (f@ucking corner )
