Tank Slap - Motorcycle Forum

Have fun guys, looking forward to hearing all about it!

Hoping its going well.

I did a chrono day at Oulton in inters and I found it worked well as moved the fast lads up and the slower people down which genuinely did improve the day. Plus bonus is at the end you get all your lap times which is interesting reading. I wasn't quick but I was very consistent which surprised me tbh.

Look forward to a glowing end of day report and some photos of possible.

I've stayed in inters but I'm now one of the slowest. One bloke binned his bike on the first corner of the first lap so that got red flagged

What a nob. At least when I bin mine its in the last session.

All joking aside hope the guy is OK always hate to see any crash

Two blokes in fast group took each other out on the back straight. It's all good fun. I might cut the day short before I'm next. Already had one grass run at Redgate.

Take it easy mate and if your tied or the hero juice is flowing full flow its always wise to walk away early whilst still winning. I speak from experience of the not so wise being carried away camp of loosers.

Have fun dude

great day and really well run ,the transponders on the bikes to sort you into safe groups is a great idea.I was my usual slow as feck in the morning but really enjoyed the afternoon once i got in the groove,learnt a lot about my bike as well
got a tug on the way home by a bike cop,boy did he tare a strip off me

Save it for the track.

I called it a day. Too many close calls including a van almost T boning me in the paddock. It's better to leave early and ride home under your own steam.

I'lll do a report later.

Coming home early does mean I get to see my daughter's production, which now makes me the best dad in the world.

Nice one chaps sounds a good day.

Some come on them who was quickest no point getting timed and not sharing the info

I didn't ask for my times. I was ok in the morning bt my head wasn't with it in the afternoon. Calling lunch at about 11.20 didn't help.

But after lunch when they had looked at the times and decided who to move I stayed in the inters.

Glad you both had a good day and no war wounds (apart from Perkles wallet maybe?)

No he let me off ,I think he was on a job and didn't have time ,I got a proper ear bashing for ten minutes then he rode off cursing

Perkles you looked nice and smooth out there , kwacky looked ok as well until he ran out of petrol

Nice to meet up with everyone have some photos will have a look through and see if any are decent

Where did you get pulled?

Bristol road,they were 3 on bikes flashing their blues and twos filtering through the traffic so I followed them which made them quite unhappy.He threatened me with dangerous driving but just rode off swearing

Jobs worth

OK for them but not you ? I thought filtering was legal on a bike ?

I suspect if they've got the sirens and lights blazing they weren't doing road legal speeds. Plus the police can get very pissed off if you follow them too closely

Followed a police car on the way home his blues flashing but thought it was best to keep a bit of distance don't think he would have been impressed if I passed him but he did hold me up advanced driving my ass :-p

I kept a distance they were only going slow,he reckons I was doing 70 and undertaking which was bullshit
