Anybody thinking bout going? Weather looks good. This will be my first track day since getting back into riding a few months ago so a friendly face and a few tips would be greatly appreciated

Be aware of the hump/dip at the start of the entrance to pit lane. It can catch you out if not aware of it, especially on a ZXR600.

And you can take turn 1 a LOT faster than you think. It goes without saying but work your way into it. There will always be more track days.

I've done a few laps there now (errr company perks?) and yes, it's a corner you can always take faster! Unfortunately I wont be able to make this one, but i'll be there for the end of the month ride day.

Yes all being well looking to do the one at the end of the month too.

Tip: stay extra alert on your first and last sessions

Lining up to go down with a mate. Wave out if you see a black R6 and black 600RR

Also, take it a bit easier on your first couple of laps of each session and let the tyres come up to temperature (if you're not using tyre warmers).

Funnily enough there were 2 Silver ZX6's in the white group at one point. Following each other too
