you hit the nail on the head glenn
 it doesn`t matter what you do it all comes down to this n the more you get the better, faster, more relaxed etc,etc,etc you become the best thing you can do is what frankie says RELAX do not tense up stay loose after all you are paying to have fun not to be scared shitless well unless your on a ghost train that is.

  what the man says after all he's top boy 

[MajicKwak]

I don't think I was unsafe but I did overtake alot of people.... I was making sure I was doing the 6ft pass like the instructors said 

but its all down too confidence I spose 

I'm sure I saw you doing a 60 ft pass during that last session matey, a'la ZX10R grasstracker 

[GRNINJA]

bastard had to bring it up 

[davmail]

I never heard that about the 6ft thing,only to watch out in corners,and the guy in front had the corner,several riders came VERY close to me at high speed,its ok if they wanna do that,but I did not wanna be taken out at the same time,because,and correct me if I am wrong,there is NO breakdown or accident cover,if you crash your bike,no insurance pay out,how the hell do you get you and the bike home?And you can't claim off the guy who crashes into you!It's a big risk really.I think there could be a BIG market in track days for REAL novices,with specialist instructors on hand to guide you through,anyway,had a laugh,brilliant ride back to Peterborough and then Slough,and funnily enough,I felt safer on the roads!!!!!

  and you thought no one noticed  

ahem...................was there a slight issue at Edwina's with a loss of traction too  

LIKE BOB SAYS

[GRNINJA]

there was plenty of guys with vans... I know you had to go to peterborough but if you did bin it then I would of taken you for sure 

don't let it bother you though... if you let it then you will never get on the track again 

[MajicKwak]

Well I'm doing my first trackday next Friday with the MCNNinjas.

I went to watch them last year and I was really gutted I didn't get on track even though I could have right from the start without booking it.  Then I was offered again after lunch to get on track and I've kicked myself ever since.


I can't wait for it.  I'm already looking at other tracks to do and I'm still a virgin    God only nows what I'll be like once I've got he bug.

well once you have done one of the cornering school you will be like a demon 

[gopher]

Bart man i think a good idea on your next track day would be to line up at the very back in the pit lane then when you get going only the much faster people will lap you, this may help you to concentrate on your own lines and riding. Also when i did my first T/day i was told no matter what stick to your own lines and make people go around you this works well and allows you to think about what you are doing yourself.

Yeah,hopefully in September,and strange enough its at Mallory,from novice to knee down in one day!Expensive though.....

[GRNINJA]

Mallory isn't the best place to get ya knee down though... but if you are used to getting your knee down you can.... though edwinas is easy to touch down on the right hander
