    You fucktard... Don't you think that if I was holding you up in the corners, maybe I shouldn't be in the fast group? I won't put myself into an uncomfortable situation just to please you. And, I wouldn't be allowed in the fast group anyway... AND... I don't appreciate bad rep on stupid fucken gripes

    *EDIT* Another thing, could you think of ANY possible reason why I may not want to go hard in the corners, whereas you maybe have no reservations about doing so??? (bike)

    Another Newbies Perspective

    I turned up at the track still thinking what the freck have I done.

    The first potter out on the track for the newbies was kinda cool cos I stayed back in the pack but once I powered the SV down the straight I realised what power the bike has. The first run out was apprehensive but it was good to know exactly where to expect over taking - no surprises. The taping of mirrors made me completely focus on my riding and not what was coming behind. Well I thought I had my leg down but no scrapes on the gear - oh well!

    I had to have a damn laugh when Draco said they were all following me and when I hit the straight they couldnt quite get passed me. Sorry guys

    The third run for the day and when I went round the hairpin I looked back and saw all the bikes following me at snails pass due to non passing rule. I need practice at the bendy bits. I was pretty quick through the S's but then must have frustrated the hell out of everyone as I took off down the straight. I did power off to let most of you through...cos I am polite

    Am I still buzzing ...yes I am. Bring on the next one

    Hehe, you shouldn't power off in future...

    You go girl! Those SV's are hard to catch when ridden well

Got the all clear and sticker. Was in the slow group but by the end of the day the pace had increased significantly.

    Thanks again AJTurbo

    Same here. I'd be disgusted if you hadn't got your right knee down in the esses.

    now RR has admitted to owning the leathers with "virgin" sliders........ oh the humanity..... not what one wants to see after track day........

    not that i can talk..... never had sliders to caress the tarmac with, I dont particularly feel like leaving my cordura knee pockets behind so havn't even had a knee down........ one day...... just you wait...... the showers of titanim sparks will have you all watchin in awe............

    No No!

    They're not sliders.

    They're miniature bill boards.
