... make you realise the capability of a modern sportsbike, and riding one on the road just didnt give me the same buzz so I may go enduro/hypermotard next. Best biking memories to date: Passing my tests First Track day Riding over to the Island for TT week 3 days last year at Aragon in Spain THAT'S ME

... on track? I've got the green light from Mrs Kwacky. I've sent an email to BBS who have just emailed to say they will probably be running Almeria next April. They will confirm in a few weeks. They will release the date officially in October. There are other companies as well. BBS seems to be less ...

Strangely foggy all day today, and Scoobs and th'Audi covered in a fine mist of sand. What next??? A plague of locusts? Famine? I didn't even think we were supposed to get any of it Ooop Norf?

@Godzilla - Roughly how much do you think these trips cost, all in ??? I would book up a trip for early next year! In regards to costs, the rough breakdown of when I done Aragon last year £600 for trip (track costs, bike transport, hotel) £160 flights £60 car hire (could share ...

You weren't the only one Frankie, bin liner with compulsory bungee's springs to mind. Unfortunately. Anyway next year we've got the Rugby World Cup right here - sorry to say the bodies on most Rugby fans are sadly the same shape but taller and wider. But at least they don't want ...

If you're serious about doing one early next year I'll get to work on Mrs Kwacky.

It's my 40'th next year so I'm very seriously considering a euro track day as my present to myself.. It does seem that Cartegena is popular, it's also at the right time of year.. I do want to do a couple of track days this year though. ...

Bolts arrived next day and look to be quality stuff.

In the past when i have finished a trackday, i always feel after thinking about the day that i want to go again the next day to put into practise what i have learned that day.

... I was cleaning it (yes officer he stole it) as I wouldn't let him ride it. I went in the house (my lid was in the garage) to fill the bucket, next thing I hear is my bike and dad roaring off down the road. I was livid when he came back 20 mins later. All he could say in his own Black Country ...

Thanks guys. I guess as much as anything I needed someone to reasure me I wasn't being a ****. Next time he asks I'll suggest a dealership test ride and see how he responds to that. If he reviels that he hasn't got a valid uk licence for bikes on top of not being insured ...

Thank you all for your replies. It seems nobody thinks it's a bad idea, so I'm going to go for it. Just need to find my next bike now. I'm going to look at all of the bikes mentioned here and see which ones I can find here. It's easy to find bikes made by Yamaho, Kawazuki, Honba, most ...

... than having to man handling 200kg whlist in ear shot of 2 seperate 130db alarms in a confined space is not easy. Have you ever tried to do a job next to a 130db siren in a confined space ? I have and it was unbearable and virtually impossible tbh.
