I Bought A Track Bike: 2-Day Track Day at Cadwell Park

[@richthereturnrider6737]

Easily one of the best track day video I have watched. Coming to you from the US. Will be doing track days in November. Thanks for sharing.

[@OllieMoto]

Ah thanks so much. What tracks are you going to be riding? Some of your circuits over there are awesome - Laguna Seca and Road Atlanta are two of my favourites.

[@richthereturnrider6737]

@@OllieMoto I’ll be a newbie. There is one right in my backyard. 45min. Jennings GP.

[@Delcasa88]

What a great watch to get a feel of a weekend at the tracks with some buddies. Youre a good bunch

[@OllieMoto]

Thanks. Yeah it was a pretty cool weekend full of knee sliding and banter. The way it should be! 👌🏻

[@FREE_PUREBLOOD333]

Enjoyed watching this Ollie. Well done on your first track day for years.

[@OllieMoto]

Thanks. Plenty more to come!

[@FREE_PUREBLOOD333]

That bike looks well clean and tidy under the rear suspension linkage etc.

[@CardsharkMr]

Nice looking track You Guys have. Good times.

[@OllieMoto]

There’s a lot of character on a lot of UK tracks. You also get quite good at riding in the wet! 🤣

[@paulocarreiro5855]

Really liked it! Thanks Ollie.

[@OllieMoto]

Awesome. Thanks for watching. 👌🏻

[@leegriffiths312]

I’m loving this, motivation for me!

[@OllieMoto]

Sweet. You ridden Cadwell before?

[@alanmcallister7174]

Cheers Ollie really enjoyed this thanks 👍

[@OllieMoto]

Glad you enjoyed it buddy! 👌🏻

[@franklinwilkerson2061]

Aw man I'd love to see those original race fairings!!

[@OllieMoto]

They’re not in the best condition 😂

[@FREE_PUREBLOOD333]

Nice bike to play on Ollie. Just get the suspension set up right for you. :) Have fun.

[@OllieMoto]

Suspension is already good. The guy I bought it from was similar weight to me 🤘🏻

[@krazed0451]

If you haven't got it sorted, a worn out starter relay exhibits the same symptoms as you're having... Cheap to replace, too ;-)

[@OllieMoto]

Thanks for the info. I assumed it had to be electrical. The starter relay was my next port of call, so thanks for confirming 👍🏻

[@bikesbeersbanter]

I had my eye on the RR for a long time. Looking forward to watching this. Big nod to Teapot One for the signpost.

[@OllieMoto]

Hope you enjoyed it dude! The RR is a great wee motor. Yup, Bruce has done a solid here 🤙🏻

[@Floyd-df2uq]

Just came across your channel, this entire video was superb! I caught the track day bug last year and I am looking forward to doing at least 4 or 5 track days in 2024 including Cadwell. Don't have a track bike just yet, my R1 serves as a street and track bike at the moment. Can I ask how you managed to display the speed, lean angle and timing on your video? PS - Yes, egg curry is fantastic and easy to cook at home as well 🙂.

[@OllieMoto]

Haha! Egg Masala is for winners! 😂 Glad you enjoyed the vid - I’ve done a few more tracks since then and very quickly got up to my old speeds, if not quicker having now ridden off-road a lot (weirdly, it helps). For the filming I use a GoPro as it captures GPS data, then upload that into Race Chrono Pro which does all the telemetry, but actually edit the videos in Final Cut Pro. Hope that helps 🤟🏻

[@Yangvar]

That was a real nice video showing how the track day looks like! At least I assume that, as Ive never been to one 😅. Now youll need another intro where you are burning off rubber on tarmac for the track days! 😉

[@OllieMoto]

Haha I did think about that 🧐

[@clivebarber]

Very entertaining as usual. Didn't fall off either, which is unusual.

[@OllieMoto]

No chalk involved in this one 😂

[@ChrisVanMiddelkoop]

Makes me want to get a track bike

[@OllieMoto]

It’s been 21 hours since your comment. I assume your eBay account now has a few on the watch list? 🤔😂

[@oteimoto85]

If that's an ex Padgett bike for 3k....keep it!! I raced against Jay Vincent in the very first series of Superteen in 1991 👍

[@OllieMoto]

Ah nice! 💪🏻 Yeah it’s a cracking bike. You can see its age on the straights now as the more modern 600’s pull away, but I love it. Gives me more to do in the corners 😂

[@leighribbonaar6314]

Awesome chanel,i have a 99 cbr600f4 i plan on tracking as well,experiencing the same issue commonly known as honda's infamous "hot start" problem. If you did mannage to sort your bike out,please share as to what it was,much thanks in advance and regards all the way from south africa

[@OllieMoto]

It's good to know that I'm not the only one with the issue, but I was hoping you were going to follow that up with "and I fixed it by..." 😂 Thanks for the Saffa love! 👊🏻

[@leighribbonaar6314]

Looking to replace my starter solenoid and for S&G replace spark plugs and service my starter,any luck your side?

[@OllieMoto]

Nah. Nothing for me yet. Let me know if you find the problem! 🤞🏻

[@dannygitsham1898]

Any chance of it being the valve clearances needing done?

[@OllieMoto]

Hmm, I get your angle, but it doesn’t feel like a valve issue (having had a few previously). Can’t help thinking it’s something random and electrical. I’ll definitely check the valves now you’ve mentioned it though. Ta 👍🏻

[@FREE_PUREBLOOD333]

Ohh to have the luxury of a garage to work on bikes in :(

[@Purplemonkey1974]

Excellent progress throughout the weekend. I'm marshalling at sept odiham maybe see you there? #omcc

[@OllieMoto]

Thanks! Yeah, came back to me in the end. Which event dya mean buddy?

[@Purplemonkey1974]

There's an airfield riding day at RAF odiham with the omcc guys

[@OllieMoto]

@@Purplemonkey1974 Ah, can't see it on the site. What date?

[@Purplemonkey1974]

@@OllieMoto 11th sept

[@OllieMoto]

@@Purplemonkey1974 Ah. Working 😢

[@alexdrifts1188]

Hey Ollie. What service were you? What year did you go to MPA? When the video started i said i recognise this lad. Then you said that i was like thats weird.

[@OllieMoto]

Hey man. I was on RAF SAR in MPA in 2015. Played in a band there. Maybe you remember me hitting some drums at some rubbish gig you went to at the Gull and Flick Knife... 😂

[@alexdrifts1188]

@ yeah i went there think it was xmas 2015. What camps you do. I was at Odi 2008-2012. Really liked the video. Anymore trackday stuff? Still have the bike?

[@OllieMoto]

Yeah I have the bike. Hoping to dust it off and get it out of the garage sometime soon. No matter how much dirt I ride - which is always awesome fun - I always crave for more track action.

[@ivandale-bc]

Great video. How much did you pay for the track bike?

[@OllieMoto]

3 grand. There’s some bargains out there if you look hard enough. Have you got a track bike?

[@ivandale-bc]

@@OllieMoto i have a Yam FJR1300 and a KTM640. I am planning to take the KTM to Nepal. 👍

[@OllieMoto]

@@ivandale-bc ahhhhh a 640. Love it! 👊🏻

[@ivandale-bc]

@@OllieMoto can you please teach me how to ride off road once I get the KTM running?

[@OllieMoto]

@@ivandale-bc you've seen my videos right? Sure you want me? 😂

[@aeseaton]

I don’t believe this was you riding, you didn’t fall off. Fake news.

[@OllieMoto]

Ah, too late brother. Clive beat you to it.
