If it wasn't focused I could have been interested.
I'll be doing Brands GP at the end of June with work, I can get it at half price.

Once out on track they all seem the same to me.

I just don't like them.
I dislike the 3 lap sessions they run as "sighting sessions" to me it's pointless.
They just seem to want to get as much money as possible. I was moved from inters down to novice. Didn't know this until the day.
Didn't have a good experience with them, so I try not to use them unless I absolutely have to.

I will be there thanks Kneedowndave.
I have been against the clock last week i was looking at a frame and forks now the engine is back in and running after a bit of a refresh.The swinging arm has been out for grease up and a respray,new chain,change sprockets,new brakes and fuids,heat deflecter,high pressure race rad cap,change PC111 map.
The bike aint having no more money and if it plays up you may find it poking out of a skip.
P.s a big thanks to the wife for holding the weight of the engine whilst i put the bolts in and feeding me the mass amount of bottled lager it took to see the job done

Top day but for some reason my energy levels were low so could not take full advantage of the sunshine. My "comfort zone" is steadily expanding to a point which should be frightning, if that makes sense.

Yep great day,great company and ended in the pub as all good days should end.
And to top it off my bike kept all its fluids on the inside,scary to find in the afternoon that my rear tyre warmer hadnt been working shows im that shit i dont need them
Good to spend some track time with raced everything and every where Mike Baxter i got some great pointers from him.

Whilst on this track day I asked to have a new rear tyre fitted (Pirelli diablo super corsa 180) and the guy quoted me £150.00 which at the time I thought was steep.So I declined. I am now searching to even match that! Any ideas? I think Chappers gave me a link some time ago but I can not find it nor can I remember what name to even start looking for.

If it's only a trackbike got to be worth a thought. Dunlop do one that is specificly for tackday addicts no tyre warmers needed and cope with heatcycles GP racer slick.
BTW if you don't have a set I've a set of tyres warmers you can use for now.
