Hope it goes well and the weather is more appropriate than it is here- I woke up to this view and is still snowing now, albeit lightly ( Buckinghamshire ) - that wasn't forecast :o

Going well so far, had a minor problem with the bike which was easily fixed, a loose connection to the derestricter (it's a JDM FZR 400), 4 sessions so far all good, there's a wide range of speeds in novice, from slow and wobbly to a bit too quick for the group.

Interesting bikes, obviously the 1990 FZR400RR, my mates Z1000J based bike, there was a rough looking 1985 VF1000F but he's gone and there's a very nice Ducati SS600 race bike in our group, the rider is quicker than me, and I think the bike is quicker than my FZR. I'll get a photo when I've earned up as it's turned a bit chilly.

I've got a couple of photos, but they're 4MB so I can't upload them, I'll have to work out a way to get them on here

Send me a PM for how to do that.
Anyway afternoon went well apart from me getting achey wrists so I didn't do the last session, there was an evening track day following us, as I was leaving an early RGV250 turned up, it was ridden to the circuit, and there was an immaculate RC30 going for noise testing.

Really good day, I always consider 3 good sessions to be a good trackday, today I had 6 good sessions.

And is GPs real name Simon?

No, but that'll be the guy I bought my gpx750r from who posted in TRC and now posts as Mr Tea on PB forum. He lives by you.

Probably crossed wires here, I was speaking to the owner of the 600SS and asked could I take a picture of it as I knew someone who would be interested, he asked who's that, I said I don't know his real name but he lived really near Castle Coombe, he said "That'll be Simon who races a 620"

That was the name he said, the Ducati was red with the small fairing the AS range originally came with, he was from East London but was looking to move to Epping. I can email you pictures of you on me your email address

That's the only one that I don't know who it belongs too, but he's doing some proper cheating, it was at Combe last week, Cadwell the week before and now Snetterton!
