Yes,l nice to see the old faces and the new too.

I had a great day, ragged my NC racebike around for a couple of sessions and then took my YZF750 bike out for a few.

The most comedy momeny was the dude telling me I was slowing peopl up in corners....so had to go to Novice group. I told him that was bollocks...this was my 15-16th TD at Cadwell and if he sees me at the head of a train of bikes in the corners it is because I nailed them on the way in....he said he would watch it. I was not moved

The YZF was great, crap carburation but good to not get nailed in the straights. Had a kickass session with Geoff33 with some hard overtakes..really enojyed that.

Man of the match - DX4....he'll come and update soon. Suffice to say he dropped his bike off stands and althoug he had some great style and was rapid...it got worse!! A nice guy and nice folks too.

I took no photos...but may have some video..so I'll check it and post it.

rock on

HAHAHAHAHA cheers Chris those bugers were lush...

Was an awesome day apart from Dx4s spill at the end of the day and Geoff came close on the 2nd session when he ran onto the grass all of the way down Mansfield then up the escape road....oh and the bloke who dropped his 29 at Park, good to meet you all again and didnt we have awsome weather for a rainy day LOL.

My bike performed perfectly apart from a couple of minor oil leaks I will fix this winter and Fontyyy timed me doing 2 minute laps which I am happy with.

Hi all, had a good day, weather was good.

dx4 - glad to see you was ok after the off, you got dropped off next to us. Was there a hole in the tank? You was fine that was the main thing your bike will fix !

Cheers

Joe

I had a good day, good to put some (ugly) faces to names

I got some good footage with my new camera but didn't turn it on for what turned out to be the best session of the day, when me and Mark went out together.

I think we all had a good day as we seemed to give all the bad luck to dx4, I think the split tyre was a sign.

Anyway, time to go build a 400 trackbike and have some fun.

lol..you already knew me so I'll miss the ugly bit

Shame no footage of the session mate..It was the one I enjoyed the most too. Some hardcore overtakes and having to concentrate to come and get you back. I also failed to get any footage at all with my YZF and only a bit with the NC.

My mate Nige was flying in the NOvice and we got some footage of that. Either no brains or big nuts.. I think the former mainly..!! It was his first ever trackday and I timed him at between 2m01 and 2m05 for the laps on vid. Very impressive for a newbie. He is now addicted, as is the way!

Shame DX4 took on the crashing for everyone. Hope he has got home OK!!

Hipringle...did you get back?

Few more pics, Geoff would probably agree the best angle for us ugly mugs.

And one from the line up

DX4, where are ya?

Hey Guys,

The rumours are true. Its not my ghost, I indeed made it back fine... holed tank and all - I learned a hot NC frame makes a great evaporator for excess fuel that made it past the super-advanced-tissue-plug one of you lot helped me fashion :D

Was cool meeting you lot, youre an awesome bunch. Thanks to all who helped me with my NC issues at the start and end of the day!

Geoff shall PM you about a tank and a nose cone

Yeah I took on crashing duties! Lowsided at park, the 090's didnt really tell me when they were thinking about letting go... was just seeing just how much more speed I could carry in

.. I suspect the limit on my current setup is 80mph.. never saw my speedo so just a guesstimate.

chrisja2, not my group in that shot I was in group 1.

More pictures to come...these are the paid for ones:
