I am thinking that a van/trailer is going to be mandatory, so if you can tie up with Spoonz etc it might be easier ?

I'd love to do a track day but I fear the fact that I'm a pusher and wouldn't stop until I had done either myself or the bike some serious damage.

I have destroyed many a machine at Brands before and have always swore never on a bike, cause a bike is far less forgiving if you fook up.

I'm a grade 1 viewer though, seen Scott do Brands before and he's still pretty quick round there.  Thumbs Up

I aint had a career at it either but love racing and riding on the track, thats why i instruct for more track time, also when you get somebody who wants to learn and improves themself it gives you a feeling that you've helped. Don't get me wrong you get the guys who reckon they're Vale and it doesn't matter what you say to them they will do it their way Angry

We never stop learning and the person who doesnt learn anymore is either dead or the devil.

Alan  I push pretty hard too , and my riding is proof that I frequently run out of talent and as I aint the devil and dont want to be dead I will have to temper my riding also not having Rossi's talent or Stoner's money means that if I break self or the bike I gotta fix self and or the bike, this is enough for me to be able to still ride fast but within my limits.

Alright guys, I would deffinately be up for a group track day and some tuition Kev if poss.Thumbs Up Dont mind which track would just travel down the night before and camp at the track. Would be good if we could get a poll up for people to vote, only done Cadwell and Croft so would be good to go somewhere different. Can you imagine the noise 30 Millie's going round at the same time (heaven).
