Oulton today......
« on: September 18, 2007, 09:40:06 PM »

Ok so I get a call last night form Roxy saying.... his buddy fooked his clutch in Dijon and was unable to do oulton therefore I could have his place...

so I packed up and drove up last night....

got there about 4 in the morning and slept a few hours....

I get there and sods law the inters is Jammed so I had to take Roxy's mates fast group plate and basically lump it.... now if it was silvers I probably would of been ok....

But this is a mans track  :shock: and on going out in the first session realised that I ride like shit  [rofl] [rofl] [rofl]

well getting used to race gearing and a different setup on the bike as well as a new track as well as being in the fast group kind fucked with my head.....

anyhow after the second session I relaxed and after lunch I had cracked it...... I would say at least half the group past me in the first session...

by the end of the day only about 4 past me and I was passing a few. 

Bike isn't perfect and is in severe need of a tune..... race gearing is nice and after a few power wheelies I got used to it and it now makes sense....

the suspension and handling was spot on.... well other than the damper... you can defo tell the difference between the sprint and the hyperpro..

but all in all for me a top day....


I don't remember looking at the camera though  [rofl] [rofl] [rofl]

It was a nice day and was nice to see yourself Roxy and zx10r_eck88 and of course Pat F who also turned up to watch the day  :headbang: , even Diane seemed to enjoy the day following my promise of a quick look to see if anyone was there for an hour that turned into a full day  [whistle]

Those fast guys were so fast it was scarely as was Roxy amongst the really fast boys  :shock:

weather was good and there were plenty of bikes out, shame about the number of off's in the fast group though  :cry:

Aye snetters thursday... should be better in the inters though  :headbang: and gonna be fine on the bike there.... might need to change the rear sprokett to get so more top end  :icon_thumright: but might be ok...

might had to stick the pc3 on and get an airfilter as the fueling is really ropey

mate you would be fine in it.... though I recommend the inters  [rofl] [rofl] [rofl]

I love the track.... its not as fast as silverstone but its more of a mans track alot more technical  and very beautiful... I would say this is one of the best tracks in the UK  :headbang:
