I'd love to learn a few things this trackday:
1: How to 'back it in' to a corner
2: How to effectively use the rear brake
3: Elbow down

I think I'm looking forward to learning how you get on, nearly as much as you're looking forward to the event Cav..
Not jealous, much ....

P.S. can't help with No's 1&2, but I've plenty of experience of getting my elbow down..

Just involves an involuntary dismount & "bang" : elbow, helmet, gloves, the lot. Simples.

Haha... I should really start stretching to be honest - I'm far from Marquez's gymnast physique

I actually think I've got the order right in terms of difficulty too. Backing it in essentially comes from going faster, rear brake is an entirely seperate entity. Elbow down is just for lunatics

Took my bike out for breakfast on my way to get a pink slip (MOT) and rego done.

Hope.it went well Kiwi

Well the 31 year old GB passed the inspection no worries but on the long way home a bar end mirror went missing! No idea where, I looked down to do a mirror check and it was gone!!

They were cheap nasty knock offs already fitted when I bought it, so going to replace with these, pretty much the same just chrome and better quality

For some reason Kiwi I can't see the site. But if you like them sure they are better than what you had lol!! That must of been a weird feeling, looking down expecting to see behind you but just seeing road whizzing past!!

It was the RH side mirror so in the middle of the road, so just hope it didn’t cause anyone else any grief.

Wow...
That mirror looks identical to the one I had fitted to the R/H clipon of my GT250 back in the 70's

Nice looking nipple bap

What do you mean grief.....do you mean if someone else had to look at it?!

Meaning someone driving along behind me may have had a mirror tumble down the middle of the road at speed towards them, or at the least I left an obstacle lying in the middle of the road.

That bap does look good

Is a bap the bacon and egg roll??? That will make Kwackys post a bit clearer!!

bap = bread roll

or a cob
or a barm
or a bun...


hopefully that's a bit clearer

Also a tea cake if you’re from the right part of South Yorkshire. My Yorkie colleagues were eating tea cakes and pork dripping this morning, fair made me hurl tbh.

Fwiw they’re all bread rolls, slightly flattened.

Bap or barmcake down this neck of the woods.

Bacon Bap

Chip Barm

Sausage Scuffler

Guess it depends on what your having on it.
