cheers

Thanks for the welcomes guys,
live not to far from Reading so normally do Brands, Snett, Donny, thats when we do uk days but we do try and get away on euros each year covid permitting, normally Spain, but fave track has to be portimao fer sure, its just a belting track in my opinion.
Bike I've bought is the 20 Model, so looking forward to having a read and tinker with some Mods.

Rich,
he got a great deal there for sure, bike is a peach, hope he enjoys it, i was gutted to see her go. Hope he enjoys her on track, he got 2 booked aint he early next year? Are you going with him?

we are looking at FE march 18th 5 days on track but not sure on FE as they seem to have bad press, guess we will have to find out as we never been ourselves with them.
the 5 going to Portimao, are you all ex racers/fast group riders? should be a decent crack :)

personally never had any real issue with fe ... but met plenty who have
not sure I'd want to do 5 days at almeria (but you can't beat fe for value... and the larger stillage is nice)

no racers in our little group.. just trackdayers ...
(mark raced with bemsee a long long time ago.. then he went car racing)
