Ruddy heck I've booked it!
My first track day - my other plans for Easter fell through so I got a bit carried away on the internet what with discounts and good weather forecasts and booked a ride at Anglesey.
A bit of an adventure as I need to ride from Nottingham on the saturday and camp at the circuit then pop the ol' cherry on the sunday.
Just hope it doesn't rain. In Wales? Never....

Beware
Lots of unmarked traffic cops this weekend. Brunstrum must have been knocked back this week in the bedroom dept.

I'll bear it in mind. I've got one ticket pending already, the feckers.

Fantastic day. Unbroken sunshine, great track surrounded by gorgeous scenery. Couldn't fault the falco although the clutch was slipping by the afternoon. And the tyres look like Danny Cluver's scrotum.
The ride back through snowdonia was epic as well. What a bike! The hours of riding didn't even induce piles.

Nice pic (followed the link ... even tried to fix the link to show the picture ... but it won't work)
Your sidestand seems very close to touching down!
That Anglesey track does look fun - just a long way from most of us!

When I said I'd tried to fix the link, I meant I'd tried to be sneaky by using JetScreenshot to capture it and rehost it. Capturing went OK but the link it sent also didn't work.
.... now I'm being more sneaky.
Used JetScreenshot to capture it, saved it to my PC, then uploaded to image shack.
And that seems sneaky enough

Hey thanks for sorting the pic issues out chaps.
Yeah I dragged the sidestand a few times. I thought it was the peg at first but couldn't find any fresh scrape marks then I saw a shiny patch on the stand. I've got a gsxr one to gone on - now I've got an added incentive.
As for addiction - I fear it might be too late. I really didn't want to leave the track at the end of the day.

Er, mostly. I took a cross-country route and it was pretty choked with holiday traffic. No nasties in the post yet anyway.
