I'm booked in Novice, Oulton is my fave track (apart from IOM), I'm sure the RVF will enjoy it!

Well i am taking the 916 up tommorow to get the wheels swopped over at oulton (well just behind anyway) and i will be quite likely strolling around the paddock later on.
Anything to recognise you ? feel a bit of a tit going upto every RVF owner in the paddock lol

Go speak to the female RVF owners mate.....perhaps this is where you've being going wrong?

Funny bunch those ducati owners

Might take a ride over there today. Woken up to a half decent day for a change! Now the choice is whether I put the disks and wheels back on and take the RVF or just be lazy and get the fazer out....
Paul - what time you likely to be up there?

Am here now

I saw your bike tracy in garage 3, didnt see you but did make a dick mf myself by going upto the lady near your bike and saying "hi you must be tracy i am paul from 400gb" and she just gorped at me and said she wasnt tracy.



Taxi . . . .



I saw 3 RVF's up there, white and black one who was going well, one in red and black and i think there was another too in the fast group who was flying.

Just got back from Oulton and am thawing out!

Paul - i too nearly made the mistake of asking a lady near the RVF if she was Tracy - however she had jeans and a yamaha jacket on so presumed not her!

I think the RVF with plain white fairings was one of the marshals. I saw another red one which seemed to be going well, until i noticed it at the end of the pit lane on fire..! The marshals did a good job of putting it out and think he got going again so wasnt fatal.

Although dry, its bloody cold out there today. Hope you had a good day Tracy - you seemed to be going well. Hopefully i'll get a couple of track days in myself this year after my first time at oulton last March. Was jealous of you lot out there today!

Sorry I did not see you, I was in garage 2. The 2-3? black & white RVF's were the instructors.

Bloody mental place Oulton, really enjoyed it, but very hard work, I have only done Cadwell twice this year & Oulton being my 3rd trackday, so I picked the 2 hardest tracks!
The instructor said my lines were really good & just advised on 2 corners a better line, as when I get faster I will be offline.
I was told the bike sounded great & I was smooth, so nice to know I was getting things right, lots to learn & improve on, but fun learning & trying things, not had the RVF tyres working that well before, so good to get the 'feel' of that.
Recently did lots of work on bike & found the front end to too soft, the intructor RVF has 15 weight oil in forks, mine has 10 so I will change that & upgrade springs, also next job on bike is refurb shock & grease linkage. Apart from that bike was good, not bad for a 14 year old bike

That fella who's bike was on fire at end of pitlane, I 'heard' his fuel line came off & burnt the electrics! But he was OK & bike got sorted. Quite a few highsides aswell, but all OK.
