Pics speak for themselves! :naughty:

(Just a shame all corner shots are taken with cars as I had to be cautious turning in, so lean angles are not good :nono:)

Track was dry with damp places and it looked greasy, the one lap I checked using my clock on the bike was approx 10mins on my second lap with a yellow flag/accident which I slowed right down for.

I hit 260kph on the straight which was cool! (162.5mph)

We were only able to do 2 laps due to weather and problems with my mates bike.

Nutter lol looks like your overtaking in those pics clearly not hanging around
 
Big stones mate, never fancied it in the car let alone a bike :nice:
 
Corner speed is much slower on a bike than a car. The circuit was mixed conditions so full lean was a no no so my time could have been much less on a full dry track. (I'd imagine around 9mins). It's very different on a bike compared with a car for a starts you can push a car to find the limit on a bike this is much more difficult.

Had a couple of "oh sh1t bit deep" and "get of the brakes get of the brakes" (whilst trying to turn in) moments but hey it was excellent. We are talking about going back next year with a van to take the bikes over.....
 
Sweet! Id love to get a chance to go around the ring at some stage. Not on a bike tho im not brave enough for that
 
dont think i would ever build up the courage to hit the thing on a bike..
big balls my friend big balls:nono:
 
big balls Ian

I was taking the first corner at 160mph and that felt "thrilling" enough in a car, let alone going those speeds on a bike!!!
 
Gotta say, (I am a bike man too) but i dont think i would have big enough balls to attack the ring on a bike, unless it was a bikes only day!
 
Cheers for all the comments!

All I can say is I highly recommend the ring on a bike or a car! It's an amazing experience that nothing else can come close too IMO. :win:
 
Pics look well Ian, does people take anything to the ring? Like the passet estate in one of your pics :nono:

Agree! Went for the first time 2 weeks ago, and all i can say is im hooked, best tarmac I've driven and I'd driven a few. So hooked im going to look at a dedicated track car, trailer, so I can go once a month lol.

Nothing else comes close :clap:
