Sorry to miss today's ride - I'm still recovering from some bug I caught last week.

schrodingers cat & leopardskin looked like they were having an absolute blast!the big wide grins & sparkly eyes said it all!
The adrenaline buzz from being on the track is something else eh guys

think theres a few of you need to come try getting your knee down Bucket Racing(go the mighty FXRs!

)

Was there a new guy on the Saturday ride on a Sporty?

Wife was very patient last night listening to me rave on (and on)

I did two sessions in the 'no passing class' then decided to join Leapordskin in the next class up. To speed up the day they let us and the fast guys out together. There would have been 30+ bikes on track. Getting divebombed by the fast guys at the end of the straight gets the heart ticking...

I really enjoyed myself. I seldom feel 100% comfortable on the road. Even when totally behaving yourself I have this underlying sense of random danger.

A track day is soooo affordable. For me, it gets all the frustration out of the system and reduces the desire to bother riding quick on the road.

Every Tuesday and Friday the track is open to the public. Pay your money and off you goes.
