Let’s see your track day hero pics

[KungFooBob]

Mine was getting through a litre of oil every 100 miles on the road when I traded it in for a Fireblade. I put 26k on it in three years.

[Tricky]

Only ever bothered with Photos at my first ever trackday and it wasn't very heroic esp with the bib Still lament letting my mate take the R6 and ruining it by leaving it in the garden, was a great cheap, capable bike.

They were very Japanese weren't they. They just did everything you wanted and needed from a bike, they went, stopped, turned, rode and started..

Great little things, i only had a fairly ropey one which Sunny and Muz then bought and made even more ropey.... but it just worked.

Yup, all of the R6s are absoloutely cracking bikes to ride IMO , especially around a track , with 5EBs being one of my favourites- shame about the bore issues, which is the death of a lot of them these days- try finding a decent nick 5EB engine..
Unfortunately the motor in Mofo's one pictured above was indeed properly and majorly goosed by the time I acquired it, due to his mate leaving it out in the rain for month with no plugs, tank or carbs on it, but it could be said that it is not 100% dead as bits of it are helping keep a club racer on the track, so at least parts of it are living on

Anyway, this thread is all about pics , so this is me enjoying myself on one of the first of the 2CO gen ones, back in 2007/8

And while I'm at it, here's some more pics- I suspect most of the oldies on here will have seen a good number, or maybe even all of these before either on here/TRC /VD, but some won’t, and anyway, at least a few are worth another show IMO

These ones are from TRC / RTTL trackdays….














And these are just shameless photo-whoring of me on a variety of bikes at other non-TRC trackdays over the years

The Cat and Fiddle is a track, right?

Some proper memories there... Including the super Kwak, i think that's the only bike i ever refused an offer of a ride on !

Bugger At least you managed to utilise bits of it. If you've lost on it happy to recompense.

It's probably no surprise that I make no claim to being any sort of track day hero.

However ... About 1993 at Cadwell.

Here I can only guess he's looking at the rev counter (I've done the same during road training). I only knew when shown the pic!

Here's one of me ganning a Honda over, at Estoril. Probably about 25 years ago.

Cheers, top man, very good of you to say that but absoloutely no need- as I said when I bought it, I knew what I was potentially buying, and all is good

Properly cool pics there Ming!

[Tricky]

And I missed this one earlier- Final one in this thread from me, one of my most favourite ever do-it-all bikes in terms of all rounder fun (albeit there are far better track bikes )

[KungFooBob]

The ZX7R was such a great looking bike.

Yeah I was on form that day, wasn’t until I got home I realised I was decking out the exhaust link pipe and was nearly sacked for being faster than the Boss on his K1 Gixxer thou
