Whhoooaaaa boys..
Steady lads, slow down a bit.
I haven?t posted anything here yet because, yes, I suppose I was a 'little' disappointed that I had to cancel the day.
After arranging the event which included:
booking the venue, arranging insurance cover, buying flags, arranging marshals to give up a day at no cost, numerous phone calls and emails, printing loads of documents, arranging ambulance cover, hospitality suites, beverage, instructors, theres more but I wont go on?
Well yes, I was disappointed, not for me, but for you lot, as I?m doing this on another day with a load of coppers who are going, and enjoy it.
Reading some of the posts here leads me to post the following to try and clear a few things up.
The days I arrange are not about going as fast as you can until you fall off or run up the arse of some else in front of you.
Its about learning more about your own ability and also that of the machine you ride. Tuition is provided on a 1 to 1 basis (yes its free and built into the cost of the day, sometimes with a police rider, sometimes with a fully trained racer!) for those who want or need it. The aim of the day is for you to leave at the end of it with a greater understanding of what you and your machine can do. How to ride safer, how to plan earlier, how read what others are doing around you, how to sit and move on your machine and understand what happens to your machine when you do get the confidence to move around on it, and so, the list is endless.
So to dispel the misplaced posting of those out there who quiet obviously have never done a skills/track day, but offer their ?ten penneth? without being qualified to do so, all I can say is, come along and try it, you?ll be surprised at how much you can learn.
Although I instruct on track days, I?m no master and still learn something new each time I go out there. There are always better riders out there than you, so don?t fall in to the belief that you know it all ? you don?t.
Right, feeling somewhat better now, I will, if there?s enough of you WHO REALLY WANT TO DO THIS, arrange another day. (I must be fooking mad)
However, due to the demand made upon this track, its unlikely that it will be this year, so what I will do, is get in touch with the track owners, get a list of available dates and post a couple of them.
You lot take your pick, sign up to it and when, and only when, I have 40 names, I?ll do something about it.
As and when I have something, Bert will post it as a sticky on the ride out section to stop clogging up this forum.
Now he sits back and waits for comments???????????
