    One other suggestion Frosty, don't bother with the "no wheelies" rule for the fastest group.

    Anyone doing accidental ones was accidentally checking for other riders before accidentally accelerating too hard anyway.

    We're all big boys now.

    Better keep the 'no korean bike wheelies' rule in though. I think Poos is going to steal my keys at the next one.

    Cool. I'm next in line thanks. Reckon that'd be a great little bike 'round there and I'd be keen to see what it could do.

    That's a good idea there smoke. Should still be a stunt session some time throughout the day though.
    Superdukes. Serving up shame to sportsbikes since ages ago.

    Without a doubt. It's just that some of us need the practice during the day.

    wheelies at the end..I agree....
    I don't agree with fast group at the start....it'll give novices/slow unrealistic expectations and THEY WILL GET VERY NERVIOUS!!!!!

    Disagree. I was nervous...but I didnt watch the fast group and conciously think that I was slower than them (I knew it...didnt have to see it). Seeing the dynamics of bikes on the track and their behaviour would have been nice to watch first. The warmup lap was excellent though.

    I would LOVE to race you if you were going to ride that one session. I might learn something.
