meant to ask hows the back?
any interest in these dates?
First day back at work today!! Lots of physio but slowly getting there. Gammy limp almost away any interest in these dates?
I wont be on a bike, or have a bike until at least March/April.
Still trying to decide what to do if i'm honest.
Choice of the S1000r, or buy 2 bikes for the price of a new one. Road and a Track bike.

Well that was the best track day I've ever done. In fact that's probably the best day I've spent on 2 wheels since passing my DAS. Felt totally connected all day, didn't get tired, I was going just as hard on the last session as the first. Really starting to learn my way around Knockers. My 11 year old Italian was flawless. fking yes!

Did you get anything booked up down south Alex?
Nothing booked as of yet. I just picked up the trailer tonight, (I forgot you have to go the wrong way when reversing and the trailer hit the car, no damage thankfully, tt).
Let me know if you want to go but id prefer not to book last minute as its a to arrange everything the night before.
Plus its the UK, it could rain anytime, BUY fkING WETS.

Anything 105db, and I'd be happy to book 2 days before with a good forecast, gives time to rent a van or whatever. I'm not buying anything else I don't need for this bike as I'm now planning on selling it, as soon as I have the funds together for the upgrade. I rode the slicks in the damp the other day by the way, as in spray coming off bikes in front, they were OK...

How is it I start a Scottish track day thread for jocks and the only ones going aren't sweaty socks.
For a nation with such a racing pedicre it's a bit sparse on here.
The only other guy showing an interest is the Scot who doesn't ride in the rain and can't go without a 5 day forecast beforehand from Michael fish.
