... to have to be a no. Financially I've got a choice to make, it's either a couple of track days or a trip to the IOM. Given the Euro track day next year and I haven't been on a track for at least 3 years I really need to do some track days.

Sorry can't make those dates guys but have a good trip if you go, I m jealous as hell

Put me down for next year though

such sad news. met him last year at cadwell bsb, really nice bloke.

Very sad, that's 2 this year already!

Cheers Rob Ill have a think, I have a feeling my tack time may be limited more towards August/September time this year

Me and Kwacky were talking about this at mallory ,10 year ago inters was known as the crashing group.At Mallory it was full of serious track bikes and looked quite sane.Cadwell is quite a technical and difficult track to learn but I suggest you move ...

Ive done a couple last year at brands and snett, its more spending the money on that rather than on the house/ the car/ a holiday etc she has no problem with me riding on track but I think she thinks that I did a couple last year and ...

... be with you in seconds if needed. Its the biggest buzz you will experience on a bike! I will be doing both Brands & Snett a few times this year and will post up in the events section. You are always welcome to come along with me, and if its at snett you can always ride up to me and put ...

... you're arriving at a corner doing similar speeds to the other bikes around you. Totally agree with you monty. I started to move up to inters last year but as I hadn't done a Trackday (or ridden a bike) since last October and it was my 1st time on a 1000 I thought I would get used to it in novice. ...

The 848 Corse SE i test rode last year had a quickshifter. Its a great piece of kit and would work really well on the track but not sure it has any benefit on the road.

Always I need to decide if I'm going next year. We usually go every 2 years.

I got mine from decathlon for about a fiver a few years back. really good quality but I don't know what they go for now since they moved decathlon from merry hill I haven't been. but for under a tenner it's worth a punt to try it out. Just had a ...

Anyone fancy a trip over on the plane next year just for a couple of days to watch the racing?

I will have to go to the TT one year...hopefully.

@duke - the oil was changed towards the latter part of last year and it transformed the front of the bike.

The suspension isn't actually bottoming but it is close. I guess I'm asking if that's normal.

... American rainforest. It's breathtaking the diversity around one single tree. The Indigenous people can cut down a certain number of trees. A 200 year old mahogany took an hour to fell. The tribe gets $3,500 for it. It'll be worth 20 times that by the time it's cut up and sold in the west.

... toilets etc. I did the festival things when I was younger. NW200 or the Manx GP for me. Still busy but not manic. We are considering the Manx next year at the moment. More thought required. The TT isn't too bad. I usually avoid Douglas apart from the grandstand and pits.

I have often wondered this. My dad hates bikes. He only told me a year or so ago that my grandad was big into bikes. Apparently he used to be a mechanic for the British speedway champion , bob someone. Kitchen maybe. I forget now , though I do keep meaning ...

... and doing the finishing touches before start moving my crap into it ruining the place! What I want to do...eat then sleep for the remainder of the year and still get paid for it all!
