Re: Hello from another newbie.

Yep, I'll be there all day. If you come down just ask one of our guys to point me out and come and say hi. We went over there just over a week ago to lay out a course to see what was achievable in the small area the can let us have.
We're doing a come and try day for the local ROSPA group, as we ...

Re: Hello from another newbie.

Hope it's a nice day for you all. I've only done 2 track days at cadwell. Loved it, did it on my hornet, so funny we all used our gymkhana bikes in the intermediate group. But every one else were on proper track bikes on full slicks. That was until it rained, and we had the track to our selves while ...

Re: Hello from another newbie.

Hi guys, I have good news, this week I've removed the carbs and fitted #35 pilot jets, which are the same size as they use in California. Smaller than the rest of the world uses..
So because the bike is running very rich, it was causing it to bog down below 4000rpm and we hoped that fitting the ...

300 miles of practice on my hornet, down to canvas. I did this twice, so I stopped using expensive tyres and went cheap.

Re: Hello from another newbie.

At the moment I'm running Bridgestone 021's but I've been using maxis tyres for 3 years, mainly because they are cheap. We practice on a concrete car park and it destroys front tyres quickly, in about 300-400 miles.
And no we're not allowed tyre warmers.
At a comp we gave a warm up course to go ...

Hi guys, here's a little short video of one of my training runs this last week. I'm practicing what the Japanese call the "A" course. The cones or pylons as we call them are set in four rows of two. They are 10m apart at 10m centres.
