You're really hauling between Clarks and the Hairpin (and everywhere else)!!! Quick bike and great riding 👍

Thanks very much 😊 that was my third ever track session and first time using that bike 🙈 managed a 56.7 so was happy with that. Desperate to go back now it’s so addictive 😂

​ @dovid985 That's a great lap time. Especially first time on track with that bike (2024 Blade?). I'm about 4 seconds slower - my bikes old (16yrs), I'm pretty old (no comment) and I'm afraid of crashing so happier watching others try that kind of pace. I'm also looking forward to the next Knockers outing. If it happens to be the same day as you go I shall enjoy watching as you pass and seeing your rear tyre being tortured out of Clarks 😁

@@jackbertie8686 haha age is just a number 😛 I think running and older bike on track is definitely more sensible👍 My bikes a 2017 Blade SP. I was absolutely over the moon with it. It’s a very pointy bike and holds the corners really well. Down on power to my road bike but it’s not really noticeable on track. I done two track days at the end of last year on my Panagale V4s and felt myself pushing a bit so before I put that down the road I thought I’d treat myself to a decent track bike for this year. When are you next on track? I’m going to try and book one a month as long as the weather plays ball 🙄

@dovid985 - even better riding and lap time given it's a 2017 Blade! 👏 I'm pondering going on Monday 3rd June. Accuweather forecasts rain but the BBC reckons it'll be OK (dry). There're still 17 spaces in Intermediate so I think I'll hold out a couple of days and see if Accuweather's forecast improves. 🤞

@dovid985 - I've booked myself into Inters on the 3rd June (Monday).
