I think it was mate, yes..... puts a bad taint on a track day to be honest. As I have said before, been lucky being able to do euro trips and open pit trips. That ticks my box for the yearly track days :) and the Suzuki special at Silverstone once a year.

Ours was a little chipped sticker. It stayed on there and just gave the serial number each track day.

It was non-negotiable here. Condition of entry for track day.

My screen was in one piece still, that crash at least.

You didn’t hand them back. Stayed on your screen and was used for future track days.

Fwiw I would love to do a trackday, any trackday..... -and I feel that I need to treat myself to something that is "for me"..
However there is absolutely no way whatsoever that I could afford the time currently or in the foreseeable..

Why not I’ve been overtaken by a shaft driven Honda touring bike with hard panniers scraping on the deck at Caldwell :)

Or hire a bike..... Much as taking the XR on the track would be a bloody good laugh, if I bin it it's a lot of money down the drain and probably the end of my biking as it's on PCP.....

Smallboy do a 650F for £199 (http://smallboytrackbikes.co.uk/tbCBR650FEJC.php" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;) from experience of Mallory it's not about big BHP it's about good riding, so the 650 would be bang on (the rider not so much).. I guess this post is more about me talking myself into spending 200 sheets so I can really enjoy the day... and then talking myself into the fact that I've done basically sweet FA biking this year and this is likely to be my only biking event of the year.

Any other suggestions for hire companies ????
