Well all loaded up and ready for the morning. First track day in 10 years.
Taking the SP out for a run to starch her legs. Going to Mondello park and will be using the full international track. I booked in for the full day so I can spend some time getting used to track riding again. And hopefully bring her back in one piece. :thumbup: :auto-sportbike:

Well I better go get some sleep early start in the morning 7 bells :o its been a lone time since I've seen that time on a clock.
Hope to get some pic off some one and I have the GO PRO video camera with me so hope to get some footage aswell to stick up.

Best of luck Merv,

Be sure to bring her home in one piece :thumbup:

It has been a few years since I have been on a track myself, Must get one in this year!

Looks like the weather has held for you, overcast and slightly cooler than the last few days - but no rain yet!

Looking forward to hearing how you and the bike get on!

well where do i start.....what a day im sitting here in some serious pain...........













|Dont worrie i didnt bin it i got what i tought was a cramp in my hip but it turns out the mussel has gone in to spazim. and im suffering.
but the day went realy well first session was a bit ropey as i had to change all my lines from doing so many in the car over the years but after a few sessions i got to grips with it and started to get my times down a bit and ended up running in the 2.10s by the end of the day.
Bike ran like clock work all day and i have to say if you havnt had your sp out on track get it out there. there are a fantistic machine to ride on track and i loved every min of it (other than the pain) but if padrosa can ride with a brokin collor bone i can ride with a seized up hip. but driving hime was fun commong down the n7 standing up in the van because sitting was to uncomfortable. and i was driving. :lol:
i got a photo dude to take some snaps up there so i will post some up when i get them and have a vid up loading now so will put that up to.
but this is the only one i have for now.

:handgestures-thumbup: Sweet mate. Your right, the SP is a dream on the track, it comes into it's own out there although a wet hairpin at Cadwell can be a somewhat knarly experience! :lol:

So when's your next one booked, it is addictive (and expensive!)
