I wish I could But I don't have a bike I'm willing to do a track day on and oddly I'm working both of those days !

Just completed 3rd session in novices accompanied by an instructor. Nearly got taken out by a tvat as a leaned into Corum and then as I nailed it onto the pit straight, I felt summat touch my right knee. Looked down at 150mph and saw that the R&G crash bung had gone!!! This ruined my confidence for the rest of the session and when I came in, sure enough, the bung and right hand top rear engine bolt had sheared off. Been on for 5 years and never dropped on that side. Think I,ll be talking to R&G on Friday.

 

You picked the right days for the good weather, whats the new layout like?? any photos yet

 

Superb mate, can,t post pix yet, maybe Thursday.

 

Well, got back from Snett at 2100 yesterday. WOW, what a fantastic 2 days. 24degrees on Wednesday and 26 yesterday. Had the coolbox plugged in our garage, great food , beer and company. Managed to overtake a few people in novices class and nearly got rid of the chicken strips on my new Michelin Pilot Tour rear and nearly destroyed the pilot power on the front. Had a moment in the 3rd session when some tvat overtook me at Corum with only a 2ft gap and then whilst nailing it on the pit straight, something glanced off my right knee. I looked down at 120mph and the crash bung had disappeared!!! This unsettled me for the rest of that session and when I pulled in it was worse! The right hand top rear engine bolt had sheared off!!! We did find the R&G and the bolt, but I will be spending some time removing the broken stud from the engine! Here's a few pix;





The last one has Nutty Tart on her CBR1000RR08 Blade looking over my shoulder!!!

 

Looks a wicked crack, glad you enjoyed it, dude!

Get your toes on the pegs though or you'll find yourself without em once you get faster

 

Never quite co-ordinated gettin em on and off the pegs mate. Just happy I managed to stay on the track!!!

 

Looking good in the pics Alan!

 

Cheers mate

Looks like you had a great time and got back in one piece

 

Thanks Paul, I didn't quite get rid of the chicken strips , but I like to ride within my limits. Fantastic weather and a great track.

 

Nice pics, I won't get the temps at Brands on the 31st but I am hoping for a dry day at the least.
