Had an outing on Fleegle's ZX10 at Aragon a few years back (he was busy destroying Mitzy's 600) and I thought it was a lovely thing. There can't be much of that thing left now though!
Wouldn't be until end of season / after Estoril for me.

Vaguely looking again. After the failed attempts at upgrading the ancient R1 over the last 10 years (two Fireblades, CBR600 and the two ex TT missiles GSXR1000K8 and 08 R1) I might be up for attempt no.6!

Are you on Estoril?? Welcome to try mine, probably far too stiffly sprung for you but I have softer springs in the garage for you Had an outing on Fleegle's ZX10 at Aragon a few years back (he was busy destroying Mitzy's 600) and I thought it was a lovely thing.

Sorry Paul
Estoril you say .....
nipped up there this afternoon for a quick look ... track looks fantastic - design wise, infrastructure looks barren and jaded but should be a good trip , 31C all afty , not very far from Cabo da Roca the Westernmost point of mainland Europe ,
stunning greeny blue water with a stiff Atlantic breeze off it ...
worth a visit - enjoy boys n girls ..
Ps in depth review of the Kym 125 frame, brakes , suspension, power delivery to follow ....
sublime !
Anyone else at Rockingham yesterday?
I was in fast group. Don't think we had one red flag. Inters though, well, their first 2/3 sessions they must have had 6 red flags. Poor guys just kept falling off.
Was a pretty quiet day actually. Fast group had maybe 15/20 people. Inters and Novice were fairly normal.
The weather was pretty much perfect. Cloudy in the afternoon, but dry all day. Track had plenty of grip.
All in all, I had the best track day of my relatively short track career.

I went to Croft, I met Gareth and Mckean.
My bike wouldn't start, thankfully the mechanic diagnosed it as a failing quick shifter.
It was a dry first day, It was nice, very bumpy but I thought my bike was broken, I poodled around trying to get used to riding in the dry. I missed as many apexes as I could due to s
tting it over the bumps or gypsies tarmac repairs. Boy I met there came off, broke his back in three places and pelvis in two.
I walked the track, f
k me I wish I never, the surface is shocking.It rained, I was happy very happy, then it dried, rained, spat, sun, rain, dry, spat, rain, dry. I got f
ked off, went home.
