  1. Yo Guys.
    Went along to watch the trackday at Donny yesterday weather was sunny but a little cold. Watched one session, then got jealouse. Spoke to the organiser,No Limits, and asked if I could join in. £48 for the afternoon session. So first time on the track for my Panigale. Suspension really needed tuning,but improved it through the afternoon. But the mind blower was the acceleration. It was mental, coming up in the first 3 gears, and sometimes 4th. It was pointing skywards at every exit. At time I couldn't give it full throttle. After one session , a guy came up to me and asked, how the hell are you hanging onto that thing? These bikes really do need anti wheelie control, or is it just me not knowing how to ride it properly? The track was very cold, so took it steady in the corners. Not like others, resulting in so many offs. Had 4 off in one lap in one session. Also had one dickhead cut across me within 2 feet of the front wheel, 400 yards later his bike was on its side with oil all over the track. The Bellend !!!. One thing about the day was the friendliness of the organisers , 'No Limits'. They were there to help people enjoy the day. So much different to Unfocused Events !!!
    So, Now need a new back tyre, but cant wait to the next tracky. Also need to learn to ride this mental beasty.
    By the way, fuel consumption was virtually exactly 1 gallon per 6 -7 laps. So need to take along a healthy supply next time.
    Conclusion --- A brill spontaneous afternoon ! Need to tame the bitch ! Suspension needs setting up ! So pleased with No Limits.
    Rating out of 10 --- 9. Marked down by the track temp. Had to take it a little stead in the bends. But overall a fantastic day !!!

    One thing I was very pleased with, and that was its speed against a BMW. I went head to head with him down the straight. I couldn't give it 100% because of the front lifting so much,and backed off a few times, but we still did exactly the same speed. I did out-brake him as well. Them Bremo's are something else !!!
