Veracocha Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 Having spent an awesome day at Mallory park last saturday on the GSXR-750, I was left with a physical ache for more trackday action! One thing that struck me was that every track day you go to you always meet a good bunch of people who are willing to help out and offer advice. Kind of reminds me of some old Audi-sport/tyresmoke meets I went to a good 5 years back! Going to a track day seems to be a big contrast to general life in the UK now. People generally mind their own business and don't talk to each other on the street but go to a track day and it's completely different. I guess everyone is buzzing from the thrill of it! I changed to pirelli supercorsa's on sat and they really transform the bike into a track monster. Once heated up its easy to get sufficient lean angly to scrape your knee sliders on the tarmac - which always feels good! They never overheat and provide excellent grip. Anyone doing track days should try a minimum of supercorsa's. I have heard the Metzeler racetec tyres are even better! It seems that once you get a few track days under your belt it becomes an addiction! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mort Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 Agree with that.... track days are deeply addictive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee_ Posted October 11, 2007 Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 Insanely good fun aren't they? I seemed to lose all perception of speed after riding home from one, what I though was about 70mph was much more. Strage how it does that.

Veracocha Posted October 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2007 We have been loading the bikes into the back of a van recently to make life easy. Saves things like that happening and you can all banter about the track day rather than all having to ride home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mort Posted October 12, 2007 Report Share Posted October 12, 2007 I was towing me bike on a trailer... I used to like the ride home on the bike... especially with a mate.... things would get very silly... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veracocha Posted October 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2007 Haha thats the point, and if you crash - as has happened in my group you are in a bit of trouble if the track is 200 miles from home Off to Silverstone for a trackday tomorrow.....should be good as the weather is looking to hold up........
