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 ?

My accident ended my career, even now I get jealous of people that can still race. (especially if they a nearly as old as me).................so if younger "fill ya boots"

Might be able to borrow one otherwise a Devon/Cornwall group hire type thing. Ask Spoonz on the sig cause he's fussy I could see mine fine he couldn't............needs stronger glasses.

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. ![]() |

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
amb67 - Lack of self control is a dangerous thing, see my old yellow rsv from brands pics!

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. |

We could just hire our own circuit. Probably be quite cheap in January and if it rained we could have a van race!
