I appreciate your comments. The reason I was putting out feelers was because I'd had so many people that I've trained that had shown a strong interest. Once you give someone a little knowledge, they're keen to learn more. Unless there was a BIG interest it wouldn't be worth our while, as you say. It's a shame, as the best and safest way to develop your handling skills, is on the track. If there is enough interest, we'll look into it. If not, we may well try linking up with established track day organisers. Either way, you will all be first to hear.... [smiley=thumbsup.gif]Originally Posted by schwee
To be honest I would like to do this but I dont want to use my bike in case I trash it, so this is why I have held off, and the training sites that let you use there bikes is well expensive, so to be honest I think I will carry on riding on the road and learn from my cock ups....
same as above..I'd love to do it but don't want to risk trashing the bike!
I’m with igbell on this too, this is my only form of transport
Interesting line of thought from the last three postees - who says that you're more likely to crash your bike just because you're on track? You control the throttle and as long as you don't get carried away and remember the advice that you've been given, you'll be fine. Once you've dipped a toe in the water you'll be wondering why you hadn't done it years earlier, believe me.
Go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, have a go... [smiley=thumbsup.gif]
For those of you that are worried about using your own bikes then I'd suggest the Buell track days where you use their bikes for £99.
Considering the tyre wear and the lack of risk then this is a bargain.
I can't remember the excess, I think it was £600.

I rode both the 1125s at castle coombe, but I think these are at Mallory Park which is about 85 miles if you don't get lost.
As said, there should be no reason to bin it on your bike, as long as you ride within your limits.
We're looking into Llandow circuit, as they allow small groups at a cheap rate. Groups as small as 12 are acceptable. We'll keep you posted... [smiley=thumbsup.gif]
£600 excess
If you really want to hire a bike, I'd suggest using Paul Russo....depending on who the TDO is of course.

Would love to do more track days but not on my bike
