Yes, I know it’s been a while since the trackday itself, but I’ve been waiting to get hold of the photos.
We stayed overnight the night before at the Admiral Horny, Rodcastle Admiral Rodney, Horncastle which was very pleasant and well priced. I passed around my copy of the Motorcycle News as I was sort of featured in it in an article on the Kawasaki ZRX1200R.
On the day itself, I drove up to the circuit at around 7.30am to get myself in place to help out with signing on before handing out wristbands and getting changed into my new leathers. During the briefing, Geoff singled me out as someone to avoid following my ‘off’ at Mallory.
For the first time, I was due to be in the Fast Group along with the racers and track bikes on slick tyres. But you know what? It was much better there than in the Intermediates as the Fast Group (me notwithstanding) know what they’re doing and overtake safely. Marvellous!
I’ve uploaded some video footage: most of one fast group session is here.
What’s that? The photos? Oh, if you insist:

All in all, it was great fun and the weather was superb.
