Fun roadbike only trackday at Bedford on Monday with @Jolley on the V4’s. First trackday on mine but the bike practically rides itself anyway great fun!
Navigating the Turn One carnage, I (56) go in as deep as possible then make a wide line to get on the gas early and make a pass at Hollywood. Well, that was the plan, anyway Ended up having a proper ding dong with Simon from Louigi Moto (10). No trophies, but I was best of the rookies (orange bibs).
Quite clear now I had wrong gearing for straights. Needed 10-15 mph more to make more passes between 7 & 9k rpm, not 11-12k
Well first ever Euro trackday done. Thought three days would be to much but far from it. Cant wait to do some more. Only problem is now I’ve started to look at V4’s but deep down know I should just learn to ride the V2 better. Highlight of the trip was sharing the garage with Mary aka Hairy. Must admit the wrap on his bike looks so much better in the flesh and that exhaust is loud, some would say like its owner but a top bloke.
Wrap!? Wrap!? It’s a paint job by Mike at Rage Designs… Great to meet yourself and Richie too. We loved the place. Great track, loved Scarperia as well. Definitely going back
