    swanny --Im gonna see what feedback this thread generates and take it from there.
    Logisticly its probably easier to run it as a seperate event but running same date time etc as a KB trackday.
    I see it beeing a win/win situation for the 'student' riders as well as regular track day folk.
    The students get the instruction and the regular track day folk get a half ish day on the FULL track.
    The increased number on the track in the arvo I think would be countered by it being a lot bigger track.
    But again folks Im open to ideas here.
    To see a life newly created.To watch it grow and prosper. Isn't that the greatest gift a human being can be given?

    As long as nothing vitaly important is on that day, i would be there for certain. I think it is a brilliant idea. If it goes ahead, give us some dates and i will be in with a grin...and some cash your way!

    Yep, gimmee the opportunity for some "upskilling" and I'll be all over it like green on grass. I'm keen to get involved in a bit of argy bargy racing (don't tell the missus, she thinks I'm just goin' to watch, shhhhhhhhhh!) so count me in. I'm old 'n slow so this sort of thing will hopefully ensure that while I may be getting even older, I'm not gettin' any slower!

    Full day or half would not matter to me as long as I get so good input to how I can improve my riding. I more interested in going ta a track if there is someone there who is willing ta give me feedback on my riding. Love ta have some real (not stoppies) emergency braking practise, but can not do that on the track with everyone going hell for leather behind me. Organise a descent Instructor and bring it on

    now this sounds like a good idea...CHAMP...

    i know that luke (mud boy) is there just to cause as much trouble as possible.... but he would be an ideal person to learn that sort of thing... could he take my place for this session??? yer yer i know i should be the one that goes... but he may just learn something.....(old dog new trick symdrom)


    what a ride so far!!!!

    Track tuition.

    I would be interested but I would be looking for advanced skills training. I am not a novice but have recently got back into road bikes and would welcome the opportunity to upskill and move into the modern age. Emergency stops sounds good too. Keep us posted.

    Frosty...

    I'd be keen (depending on dates) but only if there was space for 'older' bikes. Sorry folks but bikes with big skinny wheels and big fat riders take different likes and don't stop / go as swiftly as newer tackle. I would be keen to participate BUT would not want to ruin anyone elses fun.
