Falkirk, theres only really one van hire place, problem is for an away track day its a 3 day hire even if I could drive it in a day and back

You would be better off fitting a removable tow bar and then hiring a trailer.

been meaning to for months, was even going to buy a trailer, but im almost 2 grand in the hole from that bike crash that isn't settled yet.

Get a little box trailer and you can even sleep in it. That's what I do.

Have I ever let you down?

to be fair, no.

[moanthebairns]

thanks, if it wasn't for the 40 mile round trip id probably use them.

I'm guessing no one else wants to go down south? with another body 2 days down south works out the same as 2 days at knockhill...

That said knockhill keep sending me emails at work about trackdays, I spend 10 minutes reading them weighing them up, thinking, go on, go on....i really must resist and go down south to a proper circuit.

that said if knockhill did the £100 rates a day for session's more often id be there constantly.

gwm, davie, did anyone get who was the photographer on Saturday. I thought R&D but nothing up it wasn't power images other than that I don't know.

Photos are up now. Only ONE photo of me on track though.

That photographer has a real talent for taking pictures of people when they're looking utterly disinterested.

He caught the good side of MTB's bike though. You can even barely see the Rossi 46 stickers I put on it.

they aren't great, they are well after the apex, on a straight or a million in the pits. I don't mind one or two but there is like 5 of me and my bike doing nothing, they aren't really that good as well, maybe the paid copy will be better when I get it.

there was one guy who had 10 photos of him standing around his bike, same for that semi decent middle age bird.

There might be a reason that guy has taken his numberplate off, it you get my drift.

no I don't...

[moanthebairns]

I just don't care, had a look an I only seen one of you davie, amazing really.

still a few of your bike in the pits...

powerimages guy is better, just have no idea why the guy takes countless "action" picutres of people in the pits and of their bike sat there.

How the hell he never went to the hairpin is beyond me, that's the best corner for a photo, its obviously the hardest as well as its the only one I can get my knee down without pulling muscle

having a reg on makes it easier to spot me on videos on youtube





my big yellow plate stands out lovely

GTIR said:

You spanked him.


(In English that means you beat him)

No I never, in the corners I was fine on the straights my bike would bog down in limp home mode due a faulty exup valve, I had to short shift, everything would go streaming past me or catch me up. Even 600's I couldn't get near on the straights only in the brakes

Parkitt are usually there. £45 for set up.

Croft is a top circuit, bit bumpy but the back section from tower to sunny out is awesome.

I'm gutted I can't make it. Have to go away with work instead

Great stuff, I really fancy getting my bike actually set up...

I for the life of me cant even remember croft layout, 18 years or something ive watched motorsport events from it, played toca 1 and 2 on the ps2 and even then id forget, does it turn left or right, fk right I've just crashed will hoys ford into a wall.
