Speak for yourself.

Wish I did, I'd love to do track days.

So do one.
I know it's not cheap but those cams are feeling wasted and unappreciated.
Just bite the bullet and do it.
I promise you won't regret it.
You WILL regret not doing it when you finally do and realise you'll never be as quick as you would've been if you had started when Teufel said you should.
$210 + $75 for all the gear is not a lot when you consider it saves you from making the biggest mistake ever.
It'll save you from doing stupid shit like buying indicators.
Indicators, FFS??
DO IT
DO IT
DO IT

Some good news  :boogie: ....... Pro Rider Motor Cycle Training who run the Track Day I was supposed to be a part of have given me the opportunity to join another of their track days.
They didn't have to but a great and generous gesture on their part.   :cheers:
Another great day on the right side of the grass.😎

DO IT?

Oh I'd love it. I really would.

Hey, Just a heads up for those in the U.K. who are looking at doing a track day next year. I was looking through the available dates for the new year and came across a new regulation. Apparently from January 1st 2021 it will be compulsory to have a brake lever protector fitted to your bike or you will not be allowed on track😳

There are loads available on eBay for a tenner that come as a set that include both brake and clutch lever protectors.

VladTepes

Brake lever protector? Is that some some dodgy competitor can't tap your brakes as they ride past... :lol:

Exactly for that or if you happen to catch the back of the bike in front whilst passing @VladTepes
Nothing to do.............all day to do it....I love retirement :lol:

A mate just sent an E mail.  Saturday the 9th Jan  Manfeild Track day, organised by Central Districts club.
$80 ......... always the cheapest, which suits me !    Only thing to fuck it up will be weather, but its been pretty good lately(Summer has started finally ?).

Kiwifruit

Happy New Year Roo. Yes that is cheap.
Last time l was at Manfield they had a World Superbike race there. Probably about 86/87. Would have cost nearly that to get in.
Another great day on the right side of the grass.😎

Thursday is my track day at Hampton Downs. Just prior to Xmas l didn't make the one l had booked as the bike played up. It hasn't  played up since. Fingers crossed 'SHE' behaves.
Will give her a shine up and check over tomorrow  :smitten:

Keep the rubber side down.          Mick

Teufel

At last.
Brilliant.
Look forward to hearing how it goes.
I am planning on taking my 1400 to Lakeside on Tuesday, weather permitting.
I'll be riding my old trackie in the morning but I can't wait to try out my "new" rear sets on the 1400.
They are Metisse, no less.
Anyone else remember the brothers Metisse from the sixties?
Getting really itchy as I haven't been to the track since LAST YEAR, FFS!

Teufel, should be a nice sticky track after all our rain. Enjoy.

How did it go Col?  Got a report for us?
