Post by GRM »

Hi,

Recently joined the forum, so thought I would say hello to one and all. I am local to Snetterton and consequently spend too much time there on track days enjoying myself.

Hope you are all well and look forward to banter on the forum

All the best

Grum

Oh, ok then. Riding for 30 years, 12 years of motocross finishing this year due to injury, 18 months doing trackdays and certainly got the bug for that. Electrical/ Mechanical Engineer for a job and too many bikes to mention over the years from 125cc two stroke MX's to the current 07 R1. I quite like Snetterton 300, in fact I love it!

Hi Jeff,

Thanks for the kind offer. As it turns out I had already booked that day separately from you guys, shame I hadn't found the forum before but never mind. I'll look forward to meeting everyone then.

Welcome in graham, like the pics and history, peeps on here are great always helping one and other plus the odd bit of good humoured banter...... So welcome

Jompy..... Wife's cooking is always good, just ask her to give you smaller portions :P you do want to be able to get in your leathers when your R1 is fixed......

Hope you are feeling better R1ch, sorry to here about your off. As you say, we have probably been out on track together, I think I have done 6 or 7 at Snett so far this year with 3 more booked including the 10th Aug. It's not really about the distance although 30 minutes door to door is hard to beat, I just think the track is excellent. I have been round a number of other tracks in a car (long story) but the 300 layout now is the mutt's nuts.
