She'll be right. Mallory is cool - if she wants knee down then Gerrards is the place to get it sorted.....

She got her knee down at Rockingham, :!: but that was followed by the rest of her :lol: She will be taking it easy and building up her confidence and getting used to the bike. Well thats my plan for her.

Sounds like a good few will be there then, i'm in a VW Transporter with blue racing stripes (gives and extra 8bhp) and a blue tractor on the side (looses around 10 bhp) riding a white gsxr4. Will have a gander at garages, but dont mind the cold!

Come on mate...just bring that tasty racebike and we'll have a play out...

Saying that, the racebike is not running yet and the carbs still need sorting. If it fluffs out on me I'll be using the YZF

Not so sure about that mate! It's easy at Gerrards, TBF you can't fail if you go in fast enough but holy crap it's quick, 5th gear on the NSR and over 100mph on entry, no big deal if you're used to it but quite a step for a TD novice.

Easy places are Rocket at Anglesey, Druids at Brands, the hairpin at Rockingham, the roundabouts at the bottom if Donington village.....

31st Jan? 98db...hmmm do I roll the dice???

I hear you mate. I got my first kilo delta on the Melbourne loop doing it the wrong way for a Ride magazine article.

My first pukka KD was Mansfield....lovely!

Come on down - cheap as chips, going to be dry and sunny...but cold. Plenty room in the fast group according to the TDO when I booked it. ;)

Gerrards is a good corner - I was scared for the first few times and have got better at it - I reckon there is at least a second in it for me though so I need the practice. Never done a TD at Mallory so these 6 sessions will probably double my tracktime around the place.

gerrards is a full on big balls corner, when u get it sliding half way round you just hang on and keep it pinned!!

id say gerrards is far more than a second mark, i think more 2 if you get it right :peace:
