I've only wasted £59 if it's missing down and I don't go.
Nice one. Our little crew here seems to have lost the Trackday love these days, so it's nice to see someone out there.Le_Fromage_Grande wrote: ↑Mon Jun 17, 2024 11:08 pm Track evening completed.
It's the heaviest bike I've ever ridden on track and you could feel it, especially under braking, I had the ABS lights coming on a few times when the back end lifted under braking, the Dunlop tyres lack feel and don't give much feed back, but they do grip, it felt a bit odd riding on road tyres on track, I prefer the more rigid construction of a race tyre.
It's fast, without trying much I was hitting about 150mph on the straights, it probably top out at about 160, pretty good for an unfaired bike, but, despite the high top speed and good acceleration, I think I lapped faster on my FZR400 a few years ago, the FZR cornered a fair bit quicker.
I really enjoyed the evening, we got 3 full sessions and one half session when a 2000 mile 2024 Suzuki GSX1000GT (the touring version) broke a chain, which knocked a hole in the crankcases, spreading oil the length of the start straight - I felt sorry for the guy, hopefully it will get fixed on warranty.
That sounds a bit daft.Le_Fromage_Grande wrote: ↑Wed Jun 19, 2024 8:25 pm So today I read the handbook to find out why the hazard lights were flashing when I braked hard, turns out this is what it does, ie; it's meant to do it, it's quite distracting when you're braking for a corner.

The photographer has an amazing ability to make me look slow and fat.
Maybe you have to use an email account that is registered as being at the track day.Yorick wrote: ↑Wed Jun 19, 2024 9:17 pmCan't see themLe_Fromage_Grande wrote: ↑Wed Jun 19, 2024 9:10 pm Photos from track day are online here
