  1. DD94189C-7C41-4FFF-AA14-3E4DD5946AFF.jpeg M5’s closed, so I’m gonna be pretty late as the sat nav’s taking everyone cross country
     
  2. Doubt there’ll be any heroics with lap times today. Stay out the Craner Club. Mission accomplished :upyeah:

  3. I’m still sat on the m5 and it’s -1, so in sacking it off and heading home
    Have a great day all and take it steady through Craners

  4. Don’t blame you... shame though:upyeah:
     
  5. Took me 3 hours to get the 60 miles home, and typically, it’s sunny and 7deg in Swindon
    How you boys getting on ?
     
  6. The sun has come out, all the wets are coming off and the track has a good dry line, if not fully dry in places!

  7. Well I managed the extremely slow 1st session the bike packed up half way through the next... great... had dried right out and is not a bad day...
     
  8. Noo...what happened to the bike?
     
  9. I did. Exactly like Marquez ;)

  10. Not a great day for chizel :(
    Good to see some familiar faces and new.

    First sesh was wet, second was a mixed bag. I think 3rd was about dry and 4th pretty much. Looked like, and was forecast to rain and did briefly.. Packed up and 30mins later, sun was out...

    Good 1st trackday, no drama.
    Will probably have to go straight into inters next time, plenty of room for improvement, but happy with what it was... I think we got lucky with the weather. Curry next stop.

    Sounds like you boys had a great time
     
  15. Good to meet you all guys.

    Thanks for your help @NoGutsNoGlory sorting my gear lever.

  16. Great to meet everyone, really nice bunch of people. I got out at 2.00pm as predicted and managed 1 3/4 sessions before I was black flagged for noise.
    Really enjoyed the tracktime I had though and had a good few laps following Richard R and a couple of the guys in the next garage on an R1 and a 1098.

  17. That's rubbish mate and I was hoping for a tow today as well. I think I will have to stick to noisy days from now on though as the RSV4 fails with the standard can on. :rolleyes:
     
  18. Had a great day after a very cold & wet start.....we were just preparing to go out for the last session, then it began to snow!!

    Great to put a face to some of you guys!!

    Thanks to @Cream_Revenge for sorting the day out.....can you sort the weather next time please?? Lol
