Folks

Not sure if anyone here has thought about or done a European trackday ...

If not, get it sorted ;-) Awesome weather (late 20's), fantastic spot in the mountains, bone dry for 4 days and a really good technical track - took a full day to find your way around for us first timers :-)

Took the wife/daughter who soaked up the sun for a few days too .. good mini break and all for <£750 inc flights/bike/tracktime/shipping and Hotel.

A few pics in action :

Great pics - you look like you're riding is pretty much sorted, lean angle of a pro smile

Good thinking to combine the trip with the family - best of both worlds!

Great shots - sounds as if you had a blast!
Last summer I went on a track/tour throug France to Ledenon circuit with Byrne-up tours and had the best time ever. I agree - if you have the time and can afford it, do a European track (and ride down if you can) - it's what sports bikes were made for.

Judging from the speed at snetterton last week the practise has not being wasted. Very nice style when I was following Mark, great braking and the lines were not half bad.

Look forward to another date when I get the gearbox on mine sorted, then we can have a Zx10 tango.

Yes, bike travelled on a metal pallet thats custom made for carrying bikes. Loaded the remaining space with tools, stands, leathers, kit bag (with lid) etc.
