It was utterly awesome! First time on track and first time properly riding a supersport bike.
Started out really excited when I arrived and had my first session, then as we picked up the pace and added things to think about I got a bit nervous. Clipped my boot on the tarmac at one point and shit myself . Also at one point a guy cut in on me on the sharpest corner causing my to grab for the front brake in shock and have a little wobble.
All great learning experiences. The last two sessions were fantastic, grew in confidence and technique a lot. My teacher was ace, very friendly and patient, instilled calm and wisdom. Strongly recommend the masterclass.
@Gavin.WDS shame we didn’t spot each other! I want to go again, but doubt I’ll get that in before the end of the season. I also need to figure out what to do bike wise because renting an R1 is like £450 .
It depends on what rules are being followed. I’ve done track days organised by some mates and that was one of the rules they insisted on. If they caught anyone doing it he would be banned for the rest of the day. There were a lot of newbies, like me, on the circuit and yes it would be spooky.
