Things i noticed about the days at the track
A huge cross section of style's of bikes & riders attend.
Throughout the different levels of training the difference in peoples riding skill levels which we noticed ( good & bad )
Gee's theres a shit load of Ducati's out there & the owners that cant ride them
Theres is still room for error even in the schooling if your not preparded to leave ya ego at home & listen you can come unstuck as a few did.
Monday 2 crashes not sure what the 1st in the morn was but he was ok. Mon arvo a 1098 flipping through the field & the rider at the tyre wall hand ground to the bone on the wrist area ok tho.
Tuesday morn a gsxr 600 2 lap of level 1st drill bike destroyed rhs.
Tyre fitting guy high sided a track bike on 1st lap scrubbing in a set of tyres bark off & (broken wrist i think)
Wednesday the Ulysses boys were in town & a 30 of them come to the track for the day all in the 1 group thank goodness. & before you ask no i did see any cruisers or trailers going round any way before we left bout 2pm there had been 2 of them come off a gsxr 750 & a brand new ZX14r both guys were ok im sure but the were with the medic for a long time.
I cant let it go with out talking about the BUSA STIGMA
Lets just say Mark & i found out over the 3 days at the track that all the sports bike riders had a very different respect for the busa's after we spent a lot of time showing them that they do get around the track ok after all
