Yeah, I find that helps me not run off the track!

Very true this...is there some science behind it.

My favourite only because it is Knickerbrook Oulton park the year before they made it a Chicane.



Favourite track bike was definitely my R6

here we go, a few to start. really need to organise all my bike pics and dig the rest out.

2014 Donington park. got 1 session on this, 1st ever real ride of a 2 stroke. was out in the fast group as well. never felt so out of place. pretty sure i was lapped at least twice.

At the 'ring ages back before I twatted it into the wall

Flew over to America to do a trackday at Barber in Alabama, mate lent me one of his R1's, I bent it......

Here are some; not sure where from as I am not very good at keeping photos organised but some are definitely from Brno and maybe Portimao/Almeria:

I was being serious. That's what I always tried to get pupils to do.

Racing at Donny on a borrowed 996 from Louigimoto... I was very hungover that day and being on a borrowed bike on wets in the drizzle didn't help at all !!!

Me and Crust at Mallory

I take it Crust is on the outside?

There's a question

Was he being forced wide because i was taking him on the inside, or was he overtaking me on the outside...... The answer to that may vary depending on who's being asked

He's riding round the outside of you, his lean angle is slightly greater and he's on a lighter bike

Some great shots, here's a few recents from me...

Nice job! We'll have to get you to Pembrey

Only been once , but love that part of the country, also left a Rab jacket there, which I'd dearly like back!
Oh and that last shot (Jerez) I like because my wife took it.

Forgive the vanity and thread resurrection but really didn’t expect to be getting anymore track photos, have previously had to rely on taking digital photos of old photos.
Anyway, thanks partly to this forum and my youngest sons desire to have a go, 2021 has seen a return to the track after a 30 year layoff.(never say never)
A couple from the brilliant RTTL Pembrey weekend.

Looking good after 30 years off!
