She is very fast now, I will edit up a video and post it of her at a fast pace soon

Bugger that quasi...plenty of video's of bikes going at a fast pace. Can we not just get vids of her peeling off her leathers to show her "posh spice" style bikini?

Last week I attended a trackday and almost had a major as I was cut off in a major kinda way by a impatient prick on a sportsbike, I certainly felt in a bad place afterwards, and I aint no prude on the track

here are the issues as I see it, you guys can (and no doubt will contribute to this)

1/ Sportsbike riders I find are often very impatient (at times) in passing a slower bike, especially a Motard as many think they shouldnt be there (I believe) for whatever reason.

2/ I find alot of Motard riders should not be in group one (by default) as they just dont have the skills to be fast enough (frankly)

3/ The Speed difference in the straights is to great, Im at 180kmph a good sportsbike rider will be at 260kmph

There is the argument that Motards take different lines, but I dont buy into this as in a trackday situation everyone is taking different lines including sportsbikes, and lines isn't the issue at a trackday event, same as the foot out crap.

I have made a small video to highlight my point (as best I can) and I have discussed it with the event organisers who will be looking into it tonight, however I would like to hear from other trackdayers what their experiences have been, with a Motard and Sportsbike mix

Im advocating that race motarders only go in group one , or , All motarders go into group two.

Whats your thoughts?

Im not interested in anyone bagging motards if you want to do that ya can fuck off as its a fast growing and popular class that has every right to be there as does anyone.
