Mood: Still having fun!
I rode it on my 916 and was nearly put off trackdays, - but part of that was my 916 was set up "stable" and you need a bike that is on its nose turning in quickly. The numptystrada would be fun around it, - but I have a relative "do" on Monday. The other and perhaps main reason was down to the trackday company who were not very profesional. They let a guy out without his helmet starp done up, - he came off as did his helmet. Then they let a guy out with no boots, just borrowed leathers and trainers, he asked for help as he was all over the place he also fell off in front of me whilst trying to keep with the instructor.

It is a mini Brands Hatch indy, - even some of the bends have the same names. Paddock is a downhill off camber right hander then onto a little straight and then into a 2 part long right hand bend ( I would say that is the learning bend/bends for you WJB) - i could not work out where I should be then another mini straight then the only corner I got the hang of, - a left hander, up a hill then a druids type hairpin only smaller and back down the hill to paddock again.
Be careful of super motos coming up your inside, - and watch out for getting dizzy.

It perhaps is good place for a first track day if there are any newbies out there. And with No limits you will not have the bad experience I had there.
