Ahem.......yeah.....you started it Smiler by getting me to to Llandow all that time ago, my fault for suggesting getting a licence when it was the immensely difficult classroom course only. Would be rude not to use the licence wouldn't it. Guess we are kind of even now =))

BRILLIANT FUN!! :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Let's go again :twisted:

Well done Ladies (used loosely). Great respect for getting out there and having ago. Glad you enjoyed it as it was a bit of a risk diving in at the deep end. And finished without incident, even though you were denied the chequed flag.

Only trouble is there’s no going back, your “racers” now and can only go in the fast group at trackdays as everyone expect you to be fast.

Fast group?? You gotta be kidding me, them lot scare the sh*t outta me! =))

Jay anytime fella, I have just the outfit for you...a little talc here and there might be required 8) =))

For the record, theres nothing 'wimpy' about JUST doing track days, you are doing way more than most of the biking population simply by having a go on a circuit ....!

.....I think I'm gonna need a bigger bike.... :shock: :)):
