Thanks TP
Thanks alot to Tony.Big spoon award goes to you
What a load of bollox about nothing.PMSL that the guy with the gripe has the log in Ninja Winja.How apt.
Not ridden the bika since Brands and with Lucy injured the chance came up to ride in her place at Snetterton.Good practice for September i thought so of i pop for my 6th ever trackday.Should of known it could be dodgy when i found out it was called Ninjafest.
Inters group.Learning my way round,keeping right out the way down the straights.Track loads better than i expected.Loved Coram and Riches real ballsy stuff.Soon found out that balls are not reqd to ride a Kawasaki as most of them were straight line warriors.
What to do but ride round the outside of them!It was suprising how few did come back at me down the straights.I spent 2 seesions with a guy on a new Fireblade.Passed me on hte start straight,ran round the outside of him at the first corner.Passed me on the back straight[i was doing 115mph according to my gearing] so ran around the outside of him around Coram.He enjoyed it and said so.His bike was £8500.Mine was £950
The riding ability in the group was way to mixed.Some should of been on a CBT never mind in novices.I went out of my way to be polite especiaaly to a number of ladies in the group.
One lad [Winja Ninja ] did come up and say that he thought i had passed him to close on 2 occasions at Sears corner.I said that i was sorry if ihad but had no recollecton of him or the passes and if he had a real concern to see the organisers.He mentioned i should be in the fast group if i was going to ride like that and of he went. He was not aggressive or abusive and i commented that i would keep my eye out for him.
PMSL in the next session when hes there wobbling around on the edge of the track having been stuffed by someone at the bomb hole.So funny so i gave him a friendly wave [see photo]
Couldn,t beleive it in his forum where he says i hit him on the elbow and pushed him on the grass and had to be restrained from hitting me. What a anchor.
Overall enjoyed the day and particularly the track.Met the photo guy who said it was really funny watching this little Duke flying round the outside of people .Check out his site at
www.traxpics.co.uk So who wants to ride with me at Castle Combe and Oulton trackdays
