Had to fight the urge to stop and help - knew best idea was for me to get off the track ASAP so the ambo could do it's thang if necessary.

hee...that was me, and yip - I'm all good thanks! I remember rolling over and over then being too dizzy to get up for a second. Totally wore the lower part of the leg off my trou, time for a replacement. oh, and the entire left hand side of the 250 as well...

Despite my evidently spectacular off on the last lap of the last session...I had an absolutely awesome day! I can't wait for my next go at the track. Thanks heaps to gixxer 4 eva for scraping me off the track, Frosty for running the show and everyone else who helped out - fantastic!

Why were you wearing that flouro vest?? Were you training someone or did you go out as a "newbie" in the fast group??

**bugjuice** · 6th November 2006, 20:53

i was giving 2S the learn..

was teaching him how to take corners without crashing.. I think I did well all in all..

( not you Goblin

i aint a big fan of that and told the guy so afterwards. Maybe i'll drop
down a group and go fuck with teh slower guys huh? i do believe Frosty
advised to leave twice the room you would when racing, so thats at least
a metre huh?... play nice guys

In my limited trackday experience, I have noticed that people with mirrors still on tend to change lines when they see another bike behind them, which can make overtaking difficult. This is not a dig at anyone....just an observation.

Agreed whole heartedly

**Goblin** · 6th November 2006, 21:27

Like I said, not a dig at anyone. I dont know who anyone is on the track, but the riders who had mirrors still on and working, made erratic line changes when they saw me coming. Maybe all mirrors should be fully taped up or removed altogether.
