I'd just like to echo everything that's been said about Saturdays track day. It was a really brilliant day. Thanks to Simon & Dan for sorting the garage and after a few tips from Graham my last session was by far my best one of the day. And for those that post about BB being cliquey they should get the f
k away from their keyboards and try joining in.
The ladies discussing their lines
Agreed, it was a great turn out. I've kept that photo, as the silhouette of Snetterton is a bit phallic and mitzy's hand is doing a great job of feeling the girth k away from their keyboards and try joining in.The ladies discussing their lines
. Suprised I managed to do the last session, as you were striping off down to your compression suit just as I went out !
My eyes !!!!!

The 899 got through the noise test tonight with 105db with termi's and DB KILLER. Later we bumped into the man who tested it and we asked why he failed the Triumph 955 that was before us and also 105! He said that he also has to judge the character of the rider and he felt my mate on the 899 would be respectful and the other rider was failed! Later on the triumph was also on the track so he must have had a change of heart.😀
The session was great and great fun. I did look out for you Redback911 but couldn't find you.

. Glad it wasn't just me who thought that.
Gasping for a caption competition.
It was MSV.
There were so many bikes, it was crazy. The 1st session we only got 3 proper laps in, but the next 2 were incident free and good sessions. My mate on the 899 was done then and 'pushing the envelope' fearing that he may bin his 12k bike on finance so we called it a day with a session to spare. He did well for a 1st timer. Those 899's are complicated we had to get the manual out to change the settings in Race mode! The bike was really quick, surprised me, really shifted out of the corners and then my bike would just go past on the back straights
I think I'm ready to have a go at inters, there were some scary riders in Novice, one guy was hanging off his bike and doing about 20mph around the corners, it was hilarious! Others were bombing down the straight and then braking way too early, scrubbing off way too much speed and I was nearly going into the back of them.
I didn't manage to get any pictures, it was just a mad rush, the tyre guy wasn't there and my front was low and felt terrible after the 1st session so I spent my time trying to find a track pump!

The Noise test guy was actually quite pleasant in the coffee shop and it was good to catch him 'off duty'. He explained that he has to read the people and also judge how they will behave, as he doesn't want the marshals complaining to him about letting numpties on. It is reassuring to know that my mate can now relax as hopefully next time he will remember his face and pass him every time.
My bike was 80DB! He comment was ' Now that is a quite bike'

Sounds like a top evening, was it a No Limits or a MSV session ?
Looking forward to seeing the pics
That noise test guy is proper missog he had the hump even more when he rocked up late for noise testing on Saturday
Sorry I missed you James. I was in the Inter/Advance group. Looking forward to seeing the pics

Is that your bullet cam Dan?
Yuppy, not uploaded anything from Snetterton yet. But. This is a video I made using Lake District footage with the same bullet cams - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9wz5pUgNTVgI did see a few Audi's but never with the bike, so could track you down. Next time I think i'll go into Inters, but this may be a slippery slope to me getting a bit carried away!
I think before the summer is out I may go for one more track day, potentially Cadwell ( if I dare )

Not chasing any ups in bhp or anything technical
It's not me I'm just doing track stuff for the big smiles

You're right, just the end can will make a huge difference. Not chasing any ups in bhp or anything technical

After unloading the stuff from the weekend I thought I'd have a bit of tidy up in the garage tonight. As I was bent down moving one bike I heard that horrible plastic breaking sound and saw Phil's bike on the floor
