| ok here goes with my vital stats ....
44 years old 5' 8'' 73kg blue eyes and getting the george clooney hair just as it falls out !
another born again biker ... passed test at 17 and rode a fizzie, rd 200 and rd350 (wrote the 350 off twice and still got it in the garage!) then came back with the mid life crisis at 37 and bought a moto guzzi le mans... nice bike but didn't corner and i thought i'd lost the knack ... then did a ducati experience trackday at cadwell on a 748 and if they'd had a ducati showroom there i would have bought one there and then !
bought a 916 (last of the line)in april '99 and it's done over 25k miles (about 50% 2 up with lizzie!).
no racing experience at all .. i'm ok on the road but i've only done a few trackdays from my first which i think was the track attack #1 at mallory in the rain ... probably under 10 trackdays in total.
have done up to level 3 in css and have booked level 4 for a 2 day camp in almeria in april with dave harris and tp from the desmo dunce series.
why am i doing it? ... well it's one of those things i wished i had done when i was younger and probably didn't have the balls or confidence to actually get around to it ... now i want to try before i get too old like dave and ian leah !
it should be fun and apart from that first bend at cadwell i'm looking forward to it.  |
