I'm only around the corner from you Sniper, live in St albans as well. I think there is only room for two bikes on his trailer but you are welcome to ride out with us if you want.

Yea the plan is to follow you if thats OK? Could you send me a PM with your address and I'll meet you if thats cool?

So how did it go? Looked like the perfect day for it. My day turned to custard so I never got the chance to head out. Hope it went well for everyone.

Hmmm, when I have more time I will answer in greater detail. Suffice to say however I think I had the best day of my motorcycling life yesterday, serious. Learnt heaps, rode faster, leant further and spent all day between 10,000-13,500rpm. Fucking brilliant, I'm addicted. Honestly.

Ditto here. Was one of the best days on my bike ever!!!!

Out of the sweeper I had few 'movements' but in all honesty I was trying to get the back to move a bit. First day on the track so yeah it was interesting, got lots of room for improvement. My rear shock bottomed a couple of times (hit my undertail) but I think this is a result of the wrong line through the dipper. And I think that's probably my biggest issue out there, not knowing the correct lines. I want to take some Friday afternoons off and get out there to pratice some more. I absolutely loved it, and am looking forward to learning heaps more. Any advice is appreciated. You should have come over and introduced yourself.

Yeah more bikes needed then aaron might have been held up a bit more, so i didnt keep getting caned down straight. some v twins in a grade would have been good too. was a good day though with some quite long sessons.
