  1. Nope I did the opposite, got out of the car and back on the bike for winter hadn’t ridden since June and got back on in October for the commute Partly because my mileage changed and partly because the summer riders have gone which makes the commute more enjoyable
  2. I’ve attended the first 2 levels and really rated the course, while track focused I believe it helped my road riding significantly. It’s a real shame to see this occur, I wonder if they had to pay royalties to the US company?
  3. Hi! Im moving to Fleet shortly so would love to get involved in a few ride outs from here
  4. just gone one step further and moved there roll on the GP on the 20th
  5. Yea I got pretty lucky to be honest, super easy to high side round there! Bike was ok enough for me to ride it home, just a little smokey for a mile or so I took your lots advice on the day and tried to keep lower on the bike and hang off more and I managed to be a lot more consistent with my times which I was pleased with managed to get quite a few laps around 57.5ish seconds.... Think that may be the limit to my ability as I def felt like I was pushing it, I'm sure if you got someone more able on the bike they would knock more time for lol
  6. Paddock hill claimed another victim http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y199/t180985/76CAE544-07B0-485A-9F5D-F432EBF96763_zps0bpqn9bz.jpg Got me right on the exit... http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y199/t180985/C2FFE2F1-FE2C-49A9-A4F3-11C39E323799_zpslha3pbtf.png
  7. good luck! let us know how you get on
  8. Ive done 3 at Brands Hatch on this bike anyway, 1 last year and 2 this year although might book a 3rd for August before i move to the IoM. ok well sounds like i just need to keep myself tucked under and hanging off the bike more, will try it during the sighting laps next time to see how it feels this is a vid of my last evening at Brands, ive noticed i make lots of corrections mid corner which im sure isnt helping the situation... "> " onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
  9. ok just youtubed a bit of BSB at Brands Indy and from what i can see they tend to do the following Shift arse off seat -> brake for corner -> Turn in -> drop head/torso right off the bike that sound about right? Coming out of clearways i find im generally fully hanging off the bike as your pic shows but around druids or surtees not so much... although looking at my pics it doesnt seem im in the correct position when entering the corner just when i exit it so theres room for improvement
  10. hmmm ok will get myself booked onto another track day at try to force myself to keep hanging fully off the bike when cornering, not sure how easily i will manage it on the slower corners but i will give it a go
  11. Stick them up here mate, no need to be shy. I had stock pegs until recently and scraped them and my boots, even if I hung my bollocks right out. Still waiting to get some spare time to test the new ones out... best pics i could find of my arse, sorry i mean body positioning any thoughts? http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y199/t180985/CH_160711_Bikes_Eve_0766_zpsou2scd9c.jpg http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y199/t180985/IMG_2752_zpsm0qkfzsc.jpg http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y199/t180985/IMG_2510_zpseqp1sly4.jpg
  12. Yes you need to work on your body position. If your scraping pegs then you havnt got far before you reach edge of tyre or something solid on the bike which will both have you off. My body form was bad and i was scraping boots and pegs as i was only half heartedly getting my arse off the seat and twisting my upper body which i was told is pointless as im not decreasing lean angle of the bike at all Do you mind if i message you a couple pics of my body positioning for you to advise on? I feel like ive got half my arse off the seat but you mean be right
  13. Scraping footpegs..... is this a sign i am leaning the bike too far while on track or should i look at getting some adjustable rearsets that might be a bit smaller etc
  14. Hi! has anyone on here done a track day on the isle of man? ive heard they run on them airfields etc but cant seem to find any dates etc
