That Lightning McQueen Ducati looks mega

We had really high winds over the road at Andalucia in Early March, and they closed the track for the day. I guess it's part of being so high up there, but on the positive, it rarely ever rains, so you guys got unlucky

Yes I will do at my next time out, I would have this time but between the wet sessions early in the weekend and tiredness setting in later on I don't think I'd have made the most of it.

If it's an MSV day come to garages with instructors. I might be working.

Will do, the next one i've got booked is MSV at Cadwell in June.

I did two days at Castle Coombe with Classic Bike Trackdays - I'm an absolute novice but it was a really good environment to get started.

I think I was getting the hang of it; was a bit slower than most on the straights (possible not a bad thing) but was generally pretty decent round the bends. Might have to find myself a pre 2000 bike before I do another one as I was using a borrowed bike.

The aim was to have a go, enjoy it, keep everything the right way up and not break the bike. Happily this was all achieved - plenty to think about if I'm gonna do it again.

Another one bitten by the bug lol..

I was at Castle Combe yesterday afternoon as a group of my friends were booked on, always great to see the older stuff getting a run out.

What were you on？

I was on a very forgiving Gilera Saturno 500 - 45 hp, light and nimble, probably the perfect ride for me to start on.

Leon haslam day at Donington Park, 15th of May all booked.

Hoping to get out on the Race bike if it's built in time, failing that I'll be there on the R1 road bike.

At Snetterton yesterday in the pouring rain for an MSV track day. Was in Inters but things have changed since I last did one, no one seems to ride to the circuit anymore! It was all track bikes or race prepped. I reckon I could count on one hand the number of bikes with number plates!

Anyway, I rode there, did the sessions and rode home. I'm shattered today.
