Re: No Limits Trackdays
I did Brands last year and rode the whole track like that but - but I throttled off for every corner, never troubled the brakes once. Wouldn't be surprised if I never actually touched the brakes apart from coming back into the pits.

I've been on trackdays where they insisted you do that in the first session, never overtaking the lead instructor.Beancounter wrote: ↑Wed Oct 12, 2022 7:15 pmI did Brands last year and rode the whole track like that but - but I throttled off for every corner, never troubled the brakes once.

That certainly applied to the first few laps in the first session but afterwards was crack on. Or not, in my case. Just couldn't bring myself to use the brakes in anger. Hell, barely used the engine in anger.KungFooBob wrote: ↑Wed Oct 12, 2022 7:23 pmI've been on trackdays where they insisted you do that in the first session, never overtaking the lead instructor.Beancounter wrote: ↑Wed Oct 12, 2022 7:15 pmI did Brands last year and rode the whole track like that but - but I throttled off for every corner, never troubled the brakes once.

Re: No Limits Trackdays
NL have released some more dates for this year. Two dates in May at both Oulton and Donington Park. Nothing later than that at the moment.
Anyone interested for May? I'm undecided, might wait until June/July dates are out.

Re: No Limits Trackdays
Oulton was my fave until they put that chicane in at Knickerbrook. Did a 1:56 in 1999 on my 888.
There is no cloud, just somebody else's computer.

Not the 1198 though - I'm not cunting another preciousss bike for whatever reason, so I'll cunningly plot a track hack to be deployed...
