But will they let us do wheelies??? I've got the thou now and what were 2nd gear corners on the 750 would now be 1st gear corners on the thou which equals front wheel off the deck.

Nah, don't take that seriously. I might be keen, but in all honesty the open days are better value for money. (IMMHO)

Im in once I can do a couple of repairs on the bike

so does that mean u are going or not?

[Kickaha]

No, they do not, under power exit corners etc they will let you get away with it but sustained on purpose wheelies they will black flag you for (ask Aaron)


the $50 normally gets you a lot more track time than you would at a open day with the oppurtunity for tuition from the club racers if you ask

[Rashika]

I'd like to have a go, I enjoyed the training day SuziQ and I did last year, it would be nice to go out there and do it again. Maybe this time without the oil and grit on the sweeper before the straight?
I think I would have a lot more confidence now, having had a few months/kms on the bike too.
Whatdaya think SuziQ shall we do it again?
Maybe get Speedygirl to try out as well? :spudwave:

[dangerous]

Yeah I'll be out there one way or the other, wouldn't mind taking the Guzzi for a strop around the track...... having said that being a licenced racer, if anyone wants me to follow/lead them around in never ending circles then I'm happy to help, all I'd have to do is ask the organisers.....
Kickaha how bout you? (not to lead you around, cos I do that at race meetings anyway... but to help anybody wanting that bit extra guidance)

[onearmedbandit]

Don't get me wrong Kickaha, fully rate the track days as it's a bike only day, plenty of riders of different skill level, etc. Both have got their pros and cons.

[JWALKER]

yeah, i will probably come along if i have my bike back. does anyone know someone who can sew a zip into leather pants?

I'd be careful of accepting that offer, last time a bunch of us followed him he got lost
