Speaking to Dallas on Thursday and he's on about doing it, He'll need some decent track time to set up the Fireblade

Well I did the Oct one and tbh it couldnt have been run better. 25-30 deg and dry every day. Hardly any red flags, and they were mostly for removing bits of bikes, and only 2 injuries I heard of.

Great cafe, loads of power, track needs some learning but would go back now I know where it goes

May do Feb yet, not sure...

Kev its only £25 per night as a non rider and many took someone to help so nothing stopping you spannering for him if you dont fancy riding or have the funds...tbh its a great small bike track

I was thinking along those lines Paul of going along as a Pit Bitch, I will see how funds are nearer the time.

You can get return flights from Gatwick to alcanti for £60 in Feb flying out on the Sunday and back Thursday night. Yes I've booked :)

So flight 100, accom 100, food say 50, TD is what 450? and 4 days on track = 2 fronts and 3 rears @ 400 depending on ability/skill/bike set up. So £1100. Yeh what's not to afford. ;) providing you don't bin it on the first day. :lol:

Reckon I could buy 10 UK track day's at the right time for that money. :D

bradders 18-Nov-2012 11:01

And cost to travel to those 10 track days...and why use less tyres in UK per se than spain...and Kev was talking about not riding, so a 5 day hol in the sun for less than £500 incl beer food the lot....and as kev doesnt drink probably £300 ;)

Apples and pears there pieman

Yeah I know, it's just never appealed to me. Supposed when I give up racing then it's a possiblity but until then I still need all the practice I can get on UK tracks. :D

Anyway, what where the slicks like Paul? I keep looking but can't decide.

Holiday! whats one of those
Nearest I've had in the last 10 years is several weeks in the IOM :)

Tbh Neil I wasnt over impressed. Would say BsB gave more feedback and fet as confident. But also tbh I rode like a pussy, 10-15 secs a lap lff where I should be and a bit hesitant at big lean angles. Theye we certainly hot, and the rear moving may have been how slicks are meant to be, worth a go but reckon for confidence I'd jump back onto BsBs
