MATE ,what a day , loaded the bike on the trailer no problem , got everything ready to take [or so i thought] . Had gotten half way there and had forgotten the bloody key to the bike and the alarm duvilakey thingo:mad: [such an idiot i am ] .On my way again , well got there and its bloody raining ohh no:eek: . Rain stopped during the rider briefing and the sun comes out thankyou god . Bike didnt pass scruitinering it needed a new back tyre, well had to get one soon so went with a dunlop q2 or something like that , the tyre guy said there new and pretty good on the twin . Had to wait for my session anyway so talked bikes with some guys there as you do, the day is getting better . First go on the track ,:D fook me what a track , started off slow to get my lines and learn the track, going pretty good till some guys pass me on the outside like im standing still: [**** ] thats ok im a learner . Then that was over took the bike to a scottish suspension guy to have it all sorted . This bloke was the guru , knew what to do and done it . Second session , man the bike felt so different but in a good way , warmed the tyres up and let rip:D , still have the grin on my face from today , the bike handled like it was on rails , some blokes still passed me but i kept with a few and had so much fun and even passed a couple myself . This track is addictive so im booking in next month for another .If you havnt done a track day do one , dont think this grin will come off for a while . The only down side was scrached the belly pan sticker putting it back on the trailer . Cheers
 
Sounds like you had a fantastic day dude I'm dead jealous lol. Track days are defo addictive, I've rode Donnington a few times on a Cbr 600 and that track is feckin awesome.
