First track day I ever did was at Brands on a Firestorm, and the abiding memory I have is that it was like a blind man riding a cart-horse round the Grand National track ...no offence meant to Firestorms, I hasten to add, it was purely my lack of ability that made it a deeply scary experience...getting back to the original thread, I'll book this if I can swing a "working from home" day.

VTR has Ohlins rear, Hyperpro revalve and spings on front. Dyno-jet and k&N, Rolling road set up and suspension by HM Racing with Arrow cans. Honda Sp2 calipers with Braking wavy discs. Harris rear sets and clip-ons. Hate to do a track day on a std VTR..
Hope to see you there. Inters by the way!

Have some new discs Dibs, found the run-out to be 1mm over spec. The max R/O is 0.3mm and found them at 1.4mm.
No wonder the pads were knocked back in.
Got some Braking wavys now.

Oh Pietro,
If you do come down. Look out for the rusty bus.
