IAM, RoSPA, ERS ?

I definitely fancy a go on a Thruxton.

I think positioning would be good for me, gear selection probably not a bad idea too but guess that comes more with experience.

Sorry should have worded that better, not a go on a Thruxton but an IAM track day at Thruxton race circuit. The IAM have unique access to that circuit for two bike track days a year, not the same as a full blown track day (is IAM controlled after all) but no need for leathers, scrutineering or sound check and you can go from 1 to 1 tutoring to pretty much doing your own thing within reason.

IAM (and other training methods) will all help with postioning and gear changing but you're right, smooth control of the bike owes a huge amount to experience and just putting the miles in, sounds like you're managing that okay though ; )

There goes my previously unrealised dream of having a go on a Thruxton at Thruxton

You could always buy a Thruxton....

True, what's the going rate for a race track in the south of England these days?

...and would that reduce my insurance quotes?

Thanks for the info guys. Will look up Able.

I did an assessment ride with RoSPA and they seemed ok, they were going to email me a load of info but it never arrived. Possibly an error with my email address
