Thank you to Bam Bam and Si for letting me wear the yellow bib

I managed 4 sessions (5 if you include the Ambulance ride) and had some fun. Bike came out fairly well, all things considered, I wish you could wrap a bike in bandage for a few weeks and it heal itself though.
Even the last session wasn't totally dry, but didn't spoil the fun too much.

Heres a video of the last session, including me and Jay having some fun
plus the guy with the Orange Gixxer crashing at the end.
Hi, "that guy" here (but you can call me "Plonker") :oops:

After following my mate Martin round the track for fifteen minutes but not being able to get round him, I had the sudden great idea that as it was my last lap of the day it would be an ideal oportunity to really show him what a true riding God I was. Sadly, as you saw, my own riding God deserted me in my hour of need and I entered the Bus Stop in front of Martin, but to fast and on the wrong line to get round it.

The damage done to my bike (minimal) my person (could have been worse) and my ego (splattered all over for all to see) will remind me of the sensible advice about last sessions, last laps and red mist !

Awesome afternoon though and I was much relieved that at least I didn't hold people up for more than a few moments.
Apologies to all concerned, especailly Martin who had to avoid running me over.

Big thanks to Si for sorting the day out. Ran with precision and the sessions came around really quickly, only the shitty rain in the morning but the afternoon was lovely :D

My first track day...glad it's done. I did enjoy it but not sure I will be doing another, just didn't quite feel it. Lovely little circuit though and I'm pleased I came along.

Thanks to all

Great fun again, especially when the sun came out. A very friendly TD and a cracking atmosphere.

Thanks Si as ever for organising - especially this year with having to go through the motions twice!

Cheers all, see you back there in 2013 :D

Thanks si for sorting. :)):
Im still on a high now lol. :ymparty:

Was impresive watching the fast and inters groups :shock:

Was a pitty my rev counter and temp gauge stopped working on arival.
Never really have to use em, but a lot different on track i guess.
Only had to use escape road once. Braked about 5 meters later, and ran out of talent ( didnt take much) but ended bout 20 meters deeper and had take a short cut. :oops:

Real friendly atmosphere, and met a few new peeps. :D
Got some great help and advice too.
Cant wait for the next one
