Well this was to be the last trackday of the year for me, and the last one on this bike, and I was looking forward to it alot more a month ago before I went into Hospital, wasn't fit enough to ride normally, to be honest I just wanted to get back on a bike again, roughly 3 weeks after surgery I didn't think I would do more than 2-3 session but I managed 5 of the 6 we had that day!

This was the weather at 12:00, and they cancelled the 4th session due to the extreme weather conditions, and was to review the situation at 2pm! so we got an early lunch and missed a session due to this:

Perfect Conditions I hear you say? to be honest it was fairly windy but nothing major, I didn't once feel like the conditions were dangerous, but I guess they needed to cover there own backs, which was fair play.

I would have enjoyed it alot more if it wasn't for the pain, I got home and I was expecting my guts to fall out when I took the bandage off but it was just a little bleed, so I didn't hurt myself that much, infact since that trackday I feel almost back to full fitness, but anyways, enough of that, heres the money shots:

Lorenzo vs Rossi, looks like a move simoncelli would do, but it wasn't as dodgy as it looks :angel:

Yeah I was riding at a fairly slow pace to be honest, those are just poses for the camera, I was **** on the rest of the lap!
 
Lol thats the spirit.

Still not worth risking perminant damage. Best way to remember I bike is trackpics, thats the only reason I took the last R1 on one.
 
Yeah lol, we booked this trackday before i went into hospital, and 9 of my mates on it too meant I really wanted to be there even if i was just cruising, and we had been there a about 6 weeks before, but it was pissing it down and the photographer ****** off because he didnt want to get his camera wet!

So yeah we had to get some good pics this time round, give her a good send off like lol.
