    My mate who could not go wil not be going on his own as I am going to do it again,,yes ,it was that good,,my first time at speed on the track,too much to learn ,so I will go again with him.then I can take it in a bit,acess where I was panic braking, sometimes knocking the gear down one too many and skidding the rear wheel,and my worst score was "style" yes I was not getting off the seat enough,, road riding habit I guess,so these points will be addressed.
    He will be relieved that I am going with him.

    Very nice indeed! I like the fact that they use different colours for the two bikes

    The 600cc day was a bit ruined by me jumping over the paddock wall in my bike boots and spraining my ankle prior to the last 3 sessions so i was in pain considering it was my shifting foot !

    might do the 1000 again this year.

    Like a kid in a candy shop :D i seemed to have had more fun on the 600 because i went out with an ex BSB rider because the usual proceedings for the 600 day are two riders with one instructor but after the first session i was put with a female rider who would have been slow on the road never mind the track so they pulled me and put me one on one for the rest of the session :)
