Does not mean they belong there lol mines carbed and alot older than most it has a flat spot at 7000 rpm and needs looking at but fine for the lower classes. The rear shock goes off and wallows too front suspenders are soft. It was my first track bike really never intended for the higher classes its too old compared to modern 600s. I dont mind Cadwell but Donny its a barge on the Redgate straight lucky to hit 120mph.

I’m with you never book before April. That’s said the amount of great track days done in March with great weather when I get rain in April lord only knows why I have made this rule for myself. x_x ^#(^

I think its a lottery in this country the weather as long as im warm and no ice or snow im happy, we rode at Cadwell last year Rob I think May it was abd there were wet sessions in the morning you were gonna leave after lunch but the weather improved. Been out tonight to Cormwall back via Torpoint warm and dry despite January apparently its gonna snow February go figure 8-|

The Torpoint twisties have been getting steadily worse for yonks. I think it's a deliberate way for the authorities to slow down the bikers; 'cos the death signs don't work.
