I'm on the Bedford date so see you there. Will be in garage 1

Good stuff, see you there.

Picked up the bike this morning. Very much in need of some love in the form of fresh oil, fluids and rubber

Started and ordered what I need. Will work on it before my next track day beginning of May

Will be changing this for an RSV4 but can't beat the reliability and 'do it all' this bike has about it

Anyone At Donington Tomorrow? Weather looks good

[Abdul Abulbul Amir]

Nope, Bedford on Friday for me.

Wow - 6 days straight on circuit would produce some big numbers. 25 miles per session, 150 a day, 900 overall?? 180 litres of fuel maybe / 2 or 3 new back tyres / pads.

Think I might be tempted to pack the reg plate and leather jacket for a trip to the coast / sightseeing for a rest day towards the end.

However many days you do, keep upright & have fun!

Lucky you. Did four recently, though the fourth was short, and fully expected to be fed up by the end, but I could have quite happily kept on going.

Spent the day at Anglesey today, what a day. From the 4:45 alarm and being very close to sacking it off for more sleep to glorious sunshine and tracktime.

I was a bit rusty as haven't rode on track since October and hardly been on my road bike. Was getting passed plenty in the first few sessions, but on form and had some great battles late morning and afternoon though.



Only photo I got all day, and even put my GoPro on last session and put in a right shift only for me to find out the SD card was full and it recorded nothing!

Was at Bedford today, first sunny track day of the year for me.

Yup, a few people went down on cold tyres on the first chicane after turn 1, including my buddy that you took out for an earlier session.

Oh on the fireblade. Is he okay. Did speak to him after his off.

Good luck mate. I really enjoyed the wet day I did at Silverstone last year.

[KurtFlew]

The must have Anglesey photo.

Me too. Rain & standing water in the morning was fairly biblical but dry afternoon sessions made up for it if you could cope with the gale force winds. Quite enjoyed myself!

What were you riding / group?

I was booked in Inters on my Daytona 600 but moved to Novice as so wet.

Did a couple of laps each session in the morning, the wind was too much for me so didn't do much in the afternoon. Bike had trouble on the last session and this evening I've found the fuel pump relay full of water.

Disappointing day.

Road bike on S22s so nothing crazy

Bit of a tight squeeze for my mate on his MT10 here https://youtu.be/91KsK8kDOPQ
