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.

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

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.

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

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
