Got back yesterday from 4 days and 1000miles in North Wales. My god, what an epic trip and what an awesome bike... it's first time I've ridden it to the max of my abilities and my god it's amazing (even if it does kill my knees after 30mins!!)

2,000 miles on the clock now and the SuperCorsa's are shot... new tyres and then the 'Ring and Cadwell in the next couple of months.

Good times ahead.

Ordered some bits for my track bike, new charger for the tacho and new rubber mounts.
Only need to get a new clutch now.
And new tires.
And service it.
Oh and get the brake disks sorted.

I just want to do a track day

I probably missed it, but what track bike you got?

Honda CBR600 FN, its 450 quid, as old as me and battered to **** but I love it!

Nice! love it.

A trackbike is on the cards next for me I hope. Although I need to get a car that can tow and a trailer first! ...where is that money tree.

picked up an official TOR (Triumph Off Road) exhaust for £100

They don't make them any more but they sound fantastic and it is £350 cheaper than an arrow and it looks OEM.

Time for new tyres too.. i managed 1,500miles before Super Corsa's started to square off, but 700miles of that was running in... I now have a trip to the 'Ring and a Cadwell trackday coming up and another set of Super Corsa's won't last for both events. I think i'm going to go for Rosso Corsa's, I had them on my 10R and they were good and last 3,500miles. £220 for a set of tyres...!

edd1e · 22 Jul 2013 at 22:56

When are you going? I'm heading off on Thursday.

edd1e · 30 Jul 2013 at 22:30

got back from 4 days and 1,400 miles at the 'Ring and around Europe. Epic, epic trip it was. Managed to shave about 20secs from last years time. Best lap was around 8:45, but still learning the lines... it takes years.

A few vids if anyone is interested.

Took it for a ride and got pulled by a bike cop... brown nosing and being polite got me a away with just a stern talking to. It was a bum clenching moment.

Phew...
