BRING IT ON!!!
Second time around after failing my 1st on 19 Mar ....... only 2 minors, a perfect U turn (this time) and a big blue certificate in my mitts.

There are only three kinds of people; people who can count and people who can't.

Well done mate

If it's broke spray it with WD40, if it's still broke spray it again and leave it over night, if it's still broke, bin it.

Re: BRING IT ON!!!
Cheers folks, it was a really nervous day, especially leading up to the u turn, but I just took your advice and rode like it was a normally day riding. Still got plenty to learn, especially counter steering at speed but I'm sure the confdence will come with experience and road use. Would a track day be of any benefit?
Many thanks Paul

I think most people would agree it is, its fantastic for getting to know what your bike can do/improving riding skills as well as being the most fun you can have with your clothes on lol.Would a track day be of any benefit?

Re: BRING IT ON!!!
My first track experience was on a CBR600 at a Ron Haslam race school at donington. It was well worth the £250 odd it cost. It was very useful and they supply bikes and kit too, if you need it.
I have only done a couple of track days since,as I live way away from any circuits. I think nerves have always gotten the better of me when using my own bike at tracks though because it cost me lots when I binned my ZXR400.

Re: BRING IT ON!!!
wp - I would denfinately use the providers bike rather than my own, at least until I know how to semi control a machine at more than 50 mph around a bend.
