I remember you coming past me at Pembrey (on your Blade?) with a completely effortless style. I've hated you ever since! :D

this is one of my favourite TD pics. Mainly because that old ZX9R was a forum bike; I bought it off the martian and sold it to Nordboy.
Also (and I can't remember why) I'm wearing a set of Leathers that were Crust's but in the custody of Welsh Muffin and Weeksy.

Another example of forum love.
My 2nd ever trackday (at Silverstone GP circuit). Me riding Weesky's R1, I rode it in Novice, would come in after a session and he'd jump on it and go out in Inters!

Flicker said not to be shy so here's the mighty Triumph Tiger with the screen removed but the pannier frames till on at Pembrey. It was the stand clearance that kept the pace down (even for slow me). The PR3s got cooked though and I got lots of funny looks from people when it was parked up with screen on, Top box on and fried edges on the tyres :)

Go for it, I'm going to whore the shit out of my own thread :D

This is one of my favourites, 2nd race meeting, Anglesey June 2016. Never ridden on a wet track before and it starts raining 10 minutes before the race :shock:

Pembrey a couple of years go. First ever track day on the little CBF500. Such an incredible bit of fun, even managed to keep Claude behind me for a short while with my wide approach (or is that backside?).

In all seriousness, I rode round loads of folks with their knee down. They thought it made them faster. Just the opposite in fact.

These are 2 of my favourites. Judge's last trackday. A few of you were there. I got him going well by the end of the day :)

Yup, I learnt that shortly after starting racing, now it barely touches the floor. Those things cost money you know!

I recognise that last pic. You're following Judge?
He really enjoyed that day. RIP.

Yup. He had a good time. When we got back to his house, he couldn't wait to show the photos to his family. Then we got pissed.

OK, picture whoring time-
Most, if not all of these have probably appeared at some point over time on one of the last places, but it's a first for them on here - bikes have given me some great memories, and long may they continue to :)
