that date is idea. Get it booked if it rains you can still ride around knockhill on supercorsas.

tentatively admittedly

Getting wets over the winter... I'll take my chances for the rest of the year

£100 for a pair of super sticky slicks that have done 6 laps, what's not to like!

Haha that got your attention

Just keep your eye on fleabay, people sell off all the BSB scrubs with varying amounts of wear. There's Supercorsa's and Superbike slicks available most of the time.

I actually have a pair of Superbike PRO's for sale, I bought them in error. The rear is 180/55, they'll fit your 675.. st loads of tread left. £85 and I'll deliver them personally

that guy with the nsr - ive figured out why your so quick on it, the smoke from your bike engulfs the pit giving everyone c02 poisoning slowing them right down
You might have something there...I'll be running pre-mix at 25-1 and sticking the biggest main jets in it I can find for next time out! Smoking isn't always a bad habit.

See you on the 7th!

We will see. I don't do wet track days. Especially at Knockhill which is greasy as fk. I've seen too many people bounce down the road in the wet there. Strangely it usually seems to be in the braking zone into the hairpin.
its never wet when marko goes just book up with him, come on

Still waiting on getting my bike back, looking at the ones left will only be able to manage the one on the 7th. The evening ones I'd do, but would struggle to get to in time. And they are a bit of a rip for 2 sessions.

still unsure of gixer engine condition - and it may have been coolant rather than st riding (ha) that had me off last time - so until it's 'just so' it won't be going on track. RSV's also not going anywhere near a track without a track fairing (keeping an eye out though) so if people are booked up and I'm free I'll pop along for a brew and a chinwag at the next one
