Back To The Track And Rolling Back The Years!!!

So i've officially hit my mid life crises at the grand old age of 41!!!

I last owned a track bike 8 years or so ago and i thought i'd never get out on track again but after being seduced by @Advikaz i eventually took the plunge and bought another track bike.

I'm over the moon with it, nice little pocket rocket and i'm so looking forward to getting out on track to give it a blast.

 

Was fun @bradders

 

First trackday booked at Cadwell on Monday 24th August. Weather was amazing and i was with friends so what could go wrong?

 

The day went well and i was very rusty but holding my own in the fast inters/fast group. I could of gone faster and really pushed it but i wanted to bed myself back into it.

I was struggling to get to grips with the quick action throttle. I was warned by @Advikaz that he likes it agressive and fuck me it was bloody agressive. I'm used to the Robby Moto QAT and it's slightly less agressive than this one. I kept over blipping the throttle and it eventually caught me out at the hairpin.......bosh i was down loosing the front.

 

I was very lucky with the damage caused to the bike. It will soon be mended and ready for another bash which unfortunately may not be this year but abroad next year

Photos of the day were shit as you will see...

 

I was fine thanks. Had a nice big bruise on my thigh but nothing major.

The van

 

I was gutted but that what a track bike is for. If i'd done it to my RSV then i would still be crying now!!
