Knockhill 25/04/09 - now 18/04/09

My first track day of the year now booked! Intermediates, morning session.

Anyone else up for it?

Now all I need to do is wait two months.

a really fancy this but goin to nw200 early may and ad be scared a trashed ma bike for that!!!! lol

al defo be attending one this year so maybe see ya at one!

Hopefully I'll be going again come the end of the summer. I'm doing Cadwell this year July/August (hopefully a bit quicker on warmer tarmac than in October).

Meeting up with some folk off the HondaCB1000r forum that weekend across in skye.
Shame really, i'm sure i could have had my track bike back together again for a little run around Knockhill.

You may yet have your chance. Turns out they screwed up on their website and the track day is actually on the 18th of April, not the 25th.

As a bonus I got free family passes to the Scottish Championship races at Knockhill this year.

i may just take a run up to this for a day oot, i will know better nearer the time.

Give me a shout if you're going to be coming up.

wil do Taz

Now also booked up for the track morning on the 23rd of May.

what time is the sesh on the 18th Taz??

Bugger, never saw this post.

I'm booked in the morning session. 9AM to 1PM.

Well I had a ball, the whole day went really well (although it was ruddy freezing!). For some odd reason it seemed I was one of the quickest in the Inters, overtook loads and wasn't ever overtaken. On a ten year old bike that's pretty much standard that seemed a bit odd but I'm not complaining.

The new BT016s on the bike never gave me a second's pause and the suspension worked faultlessly. Thanks to MCT I was braking much later and harder than I used to be able to.

Someone has asked who was taking the pics at Knockhill. The people to talk to are Power Images. The gallery for the 18th is here, and they have a single shot of me in it. If you can't find one you like don't worry, get in touch through their contact page - they'll have loads more. They emailed me about ten proofs.

If you're really bored I got video of the day.
