    Awesome Gary. Nice one dude really appreciate doing that :) thanks.

    Matt - you'll be up to speed in no time buddy. Doesn't take long, and a track bike helps big time.

    I would love to do a track day, but for a few concerns.

    1. Terrified of getting caught up by someone else pushing too much.
    2. More experienced track day goers hazing the novice.
    3. Not wanting to take my road bike on track.
    4. Track manoeuvres. Coming up to a slower rider, or being the slower rider and what is best to do. Do they give instruction ? I know we all watch racing, and likely can tell what to do and not to do, but is that as easy when on the circuit ?
    5. Would prefer a one on one tuition. Anywhere that does this ?

    I realise this may all sound a bit silly, but it is all things that have crossed my mind.

    Ron Haslam School for you my friend.

    Not 1 on 1 tuition but 2 to 1. Not as expensive as you'd think and you leave with far more confidence.

    It's close to me and I have a field you can camp in if you want. I'm doing all the days this year so could show you the way there.

    At most 3 riders per instructor, and overtaking is more controlled/restricted than a normal trackday.

    Or even better, book your track day and then speak to an instructor and ask him to explain everything and take you around until your comfortable, thats what they are there for and at no extra cost.:)
