Well that's bloody irritated me...

Loaded the van this morning, 2 bikes, 4 tonnes of kit and when i re-checked the exhaust on the ZX6R is just about 4mm from touching the wheel well/panelling on the van... so after Moto3 i need to completely unload the van and swap the bikes around so the ZX6R is on the left and the XSR on the right... Meh lol.

Don't think we'll make it up there tomorrow now, but hope the weather is kind to you and you both have a great day 8-)

P.S. If you see the bloke in this pic with the while and blue R6 and black RST leathers ( he's my new local village mate Tim that I was at Lydden with ) say hello from me :thumbup:

Well we got 2 dry sessions then the rains came, which was a bloody shame as I was quite enjoying myself until then.

There was about 6-8 out this afternoon in your group. I did two sessions but not the last one.
My first of the year and the effort in the wind wiped me out. Gonna be aching tomorrow! LOL

The weather got so bad so many bailed out early and I didn't fancy loading in the squall and rain so made it easy for myself ;)

It's funny when you see yourself in completely new riding gear and don't even recognise yourself on the bike

Yes. That's all that's required.

We're still pretty sure it's not even required at Silverstone due to them owning the circuit and can make up their own rules.

Nice photo Scottyuk, glad to see someone looking like he was actually going well.
After a 30 year break from track riding I was out in the ‘white wobblers’ group and although feeling like I was going ok the photo’s tell a very different story!!!😂
Still enjoyed the day though, but much room for improvement!
