I have just been given a track day!

A mate rang up and offered it to me as he can't make it!

Now I need to decide what to take. The new but slightly scratched ZZR1200, or the old but potentially unreliable ZX6R.

Ps. Any advice for a first track day?

If in doubt, flat out.

make use of the instructors and put yourself in the novice group.

Don't try and either learn the whole track, or be the fastest man out there in the first session. You've got all day.

If you feel yourself running wide, get off the brakes, gently on the gas and look where you want to go, i.e.
not the armco/grass!

Have a good day!
