'kin hell, do you want to adopt me?😃 Its a good point. Can you pay a registration fee and share a bike like some other events do? I know with Track Attack you can pay the £35 to register another rider as long as the person that has paid for the track day sits out the session you can go out in their place… in which case I’d have a go on that track bike of yours on 1st March 2stroke 😉 ---

not a one of you has picked up on the lack of traction control…whatever its got it doesnt do anything if the road doesnt have any grip…seen the salt machine spraying the stuff last night…when you pass the truck it doesnt spray out grit just a slush…its really not good… And it was afros idea not mine… ---

not been nasty here but the roads are as slippery as lordy! at mo cos of the foggyish conditions, just settleing on top of road surface so dont go blaming coulcil etc cos ya slid on the bike. I was out in the cage and steering feels so easy cos of light surface dampness on the road. Just take it easy out there at the mo pepes. Very Easy! ---
