Thumbs up 848 did her first trackday today

We've done about 240 miles today, riding from Mansfield, to Cadwell, doing a full day on track and riding home again It's been absolutely brilliant, one of the best trackdays I've done! Another success for No Limits, with only a couple of red flags all day.

The 848 was faultless, it's run as sweet as a nut all day long. I took it out in all but one session, when the other half nicked it for a bit and lumped me with his huge SuperDuke (which I quite like really ). It's completely standard, suspension settings and all and the way it's worn the rear tyre shows that it's perfect. No pronounced ridges or tearing at all, it still looks fairly smooth, with bobbly bits round the edge of course! The standard Supercorsas feel great too. Not sure what to replace them with when they wear out, as they are very good, but I would like some more tread for the amount of times I seem to get caught in the rain on it.

I'm blown away by how good this bike is straight out the box. It wants for absolutely nothing. I'm not spending a penny modifying it, it's just what I want as it is and the money is much better spent on more track time and new knee sliders

I'll stick some pictures up when I get them
