How not to ride at the track - Hampton Rider Skills Day

[Kendoll]

The whole time I was watching that...it was pretty obvious the peanut in the blue leathers was the one that was gonna eat ashpalt. Some truly fucking horrible riding on display.

Agreed... That guy has no clue. How many takes do you need to get round a corner mate? Having said that, it is a 'have a go' day - maybe he's having a go at riding like a muppet? Maybe it's his first time on the track?

Maybe no one has told him his lines aren't that good and just stood around and laughed at him.

Well said, can't argue with that. However in my experience, it's quite the opposite at track days, with everybody telling you how to ride or what lines to take... I guess either way isn't too helpful really.

Ahh I see, must have misread it then

He may in the opinion of all the keyboard jockeys be a muppet.
But in the opinion of the top WSBK and Moto GP riders we are all parking cones with wheels.
So I guess how good you are is relative.

It was a HAVE A GO DAY, not a "Turn up only if you are a riding god day" Ridicule actual riders at your peril keyboard racers.

The video is on a public viewing site. We'll pick holes in it all day long if we want.

Keyboard racer? You're welcome to try and show Crasherfromwayback the fast way around a racetrack if ya like, buggered if I'd put my hand up for the job though.

Lol. Awwww shucks mate...thanks. Old Quasi was offered the chance. After telling all and sundry how fucking useless and dangerous I was...I offered him the chance to front up with some serious coin on offer to prove it. Fucking windbag kept twisting everything to suit himself until it became incredibly obvious...that really...he's as full of shit as he seems. And he thinks he *owned* me. Lol.

The thing being mate...if I was to see riding that poor even on the street...I'd be having words to them. Believe it not I'm only too happy to try and help newer (and that's a big assumption I know)riders out where I can. Matters not they were on a race track.

What makes you think he isn't reading right now?

Be great if they are. May take some things on board. Only too happy if they are if they want to get hold of me. As stated...always only too happy to help out if I can.

ouch!

Props to the first rider for being able to keep it upright in the dirt for so long! I did smile at the very end when you see whoever it was throwing a peice of bike in frustration.

Can someone enlighten as to overtaking rules on track days (more for my curiosity than any desire to measure out blame)

Yes i can you dont full stop. u want to do that race . i find that very good athough never done a track day

There's a good chance he is. If he is and doesn't think he was riding like a muppet, then he's taking it better than any other KB member ever takes anything.
