End of Season VTR Club Track Day
Re: End of Season VTR Club Track Day
Cheers, everyone for making the effort and organising, also for the food which was well set up and tasty.
I didn't get on as well as I'd hoped with the 2, it just locked the back wheel every time I tried to use 2nd or 1st, and I really can't justify (or afford) a slipper clutch and rear shock; it's still got the std shock which is fine for the road but showed itself up yesterday. Using 3rd to 5th was ok, but the chicane and the bottom of the mountain really needed 2nd. It would have been fine on a more flowing circuit, the Gooseneck section was good fun when it dried out.
I'll have to see if I want to keep it, if it gets me into trouble* on the road and isn't much fun round a track there's not much point really.
The track didn't dry out properly in the morning and the first session after lunch dropped some more rain, clouds looked ominous and I had a long drive home, so I said enough was enough and headed home. Got in around 19:30.
Although I laid it down at walking speed on some wet grass there's not a mark on the bike or me, so all good there- and as the grass was long and wet the LH side's had a clean- bonus!
(*or I got myself into trouble using it properly, more like!)

It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.
