A tentative possibly, depending on date, venue, and whether I can "sell" the concept to SWMBO as rider training. -- Dan L (Oldbloke) My bike 1996 Kawasaki ZR1100 Zephyr Space in shed where NSR125 used to be Spare Bike 1990 Suzuki TS50X (Patio Ornament) BOTAFOT #140 (KotL 2005), X-FOT#000, DIAABTCOD #26, BOMB#18 (slow), OMF#11
In uk.rec.motorcycles, Dan L belched forth and ejected the following: Easy, innit. You're going out with experienced riders to learn about cornering and machine control and to keep things nice and safe you'll be off the public road and doing it on a track.
A road, with no speed limits, no plod, minimal other traffic (that's small and easily avoidable) and much grippier tarmac than normal? It's not you? You don't have to go fast, it's just that you go out and it sort of happens. The whole wannabe-racer thing is optional. <small voice> but I like it. </sv>
On the surface it seems like a good idea but in reality it's a lot of work. We did this with Bikegirl last season and it was tough. People pull out at the last minute, organising a date that will suit everyone is difficult and you have to keep reminding people. You would be far better off just booking a day and asking if anyone is interested and get them to book and when they have organise a get together. IIRC this worked well at Snet a few years ago. We even had a spectacular crash by Ash.
Molly said... That's pretty much all I was going to do anyway. It was getting the right day so we could have maximum attendance, which is why I'm asking at this point in the year before anyone books anything else.

Sounds like a great idea for those who like that sort of thing. I'd come along to watch and be social, but, not for the track day.
You did well right up until the last word. then it fell apart. Getting the word 'track' past an already suspicious female isn't going to work. -- Dnc B1200 - +30bhp ~|~ ZZR1100 - faster when upright V2300 - flat cap and rug ~|~ A6 2.5TDi V6 Quattro Sport MIB#26 two#54(soiled) UKRMMA#26 BOTAFOT#153 X-FOT#003
