Fun is the main thing with it really. I do have a very competitive side, hence I started racing, but I have had a few moments where I have tried following a much faster rider and held back as they were just in a different league and doing because it was their career and not just something to do at weekends.

Booked the 4 day Mugello trip with FE in August next year
Trackdays in Eeeeetaly seem somewhat pricey now! Yes I've done Mugello and yes it's nice but 4 days of a 4 group event with FE (meh!) in Mugello is same money as a 3 day 3 group event in flipping Malaysia with NL!
No Limits just launched Imola (very interested) for a 4 group event ( bit less interested) £750 for just 2 days (not interested now) and don't forget the extra daily rate for garages (lol!).
Pah! Enduro stuff in Wales it is.
Or Assen, SlovakiaRing, Val de Vienne etc. Must sort out some enthusiasm.
Evening all,
Can I ask a question to the track experts please.
I have been doing a fair few track days whilst in the US and recently an instructor gave some advice about using the rear brake.
He said that light use of the rear brake before applying the front brake helped to settle the bike down and reduced front end dive under heavy braking.
You then taper off the rear as the front loads up so that you dont lock up the back wheel as it get progressively lighter.
Is this a pretty common technique for more advanced riders worth trying out?

It's not a technique I've heard of or know of anyone using but then again, what do I know Can I ask a question to the track experts please.
