Re: Track Day - Life at Lean

Because he had gone out in a group he wasn't booked into, on his mate's bike (with the relevant group sticker) and was wandering about off line and very slowly. In the middle of a bend in the fast group you don't expect someone to be that slow and drifting out. We did both stay on, but I bent his ex...

Re: Track Day - Life at Lean

Thanks for that. I've signed up too, but one question; I'll be 70 next year, so is it too late to get into the fast group? =)) Never :D I meant "and survive"! I managed to cope in the fast group at Cadwell a few times. I was slower but predictable so didn't cause any problems. A vivid mem...

Re: Not indicating = Ok to ram

Ride as though they ARE all out to get you? Don't get aggressive on a vulnerable motorbike? And if he tries showing that video to the police he would likely get charged with criminal damage and/or road rage, apart from whatever the driver got!
