A guy at work was organising a works track day at Northolt Aerodrome, thought about it and then thought about dropping the bike so bottled it. Would love to do one though 8)


You'd be suprised at how confident you'll become on a well organised trackday buddy, but like you I would rather use a track prepared bike rather than my nice shinny road bike for that piece of mind, expensive day if you bin your own bike....

Thats what you wanna do chap, treat yaself to a Race school day...much safer...and I know you know what I mean..... :wink:

Ps. I'd be up for that chap if you wanted to go....I haven't been on the track for a few years now and it would be good to have a blast round again...
