    Ever since tuesday I have felt as though life is boring and don't know were to put myself. How do you trackday fiends keep yourselves busy until the next one???? I have tried to think of stuff that needs doing to the bike but until my oil and pads arrive I'm a bit stuck.

    Normally it involves spending money on stuff that got broken or buying stuff to make it go quicker.

    It is easily done! Just seen your other post about selling the road bike and don't blame you. I have put mine for sale. Were I to go on the road again, it would be on something totally different to a sportsbike. Glad you are enjoying it though.

    After my first trackday I've not been bothered with going out on the road cos the buzz is not there.Maybe thats what I may do too.Probably buy a cheap hack for the road/track and keep the blade for ride outs with the mates.I may sell my guns to fund something:confused:

    The firebloke and Andy won't be eating burgers as they both eat rabbit food when doing track days .:D

    You will understand this when you do a track day with us .
