I have done a CCM supermoto day, its an absolute gas. Not as loony as a full on track day, and quite a bit cheaper.

PS You can see how its done at Brands Hatch on Sunday 1st Feb 2004, British Winter Champs, might see you there.

I'll ave a go!

Put me down for April 28th please,

Graham

I might go for a practice first on March 7 at Ellmore, Fleet.

tommy tank,

1st you will need to get off those crutches, so get well soon, I found SM quite physical, as you work quite hard keeping the plot upright.

Your track day experience will be very useful, have you done any off-road? Cause mostly the technique you need to adopt is to sit up the front of the seat and push the bike down into the corner, with your inside leg skimming the tarmac for support. Also when you get up to speed you will start getting power slides, which aren’t as scary as they sound as long as you really concentrate and take the appropriate action.

Probably you would be better doing the CCM training day, the Lydd track is built for kart racing and is quite tight and twisty but has a useful back straight leading to a tight bend, if your good at very late braking you will really enjoy it.

Don’t expect to be backing it into corners on your first session, that is a difficult as it looks.

Thanx for the advice, sorry forgot to mention i've got no off road experience was so excited about posting my first mail...
Can't wait to get back on two wheels, i'll keep working on the ankle, maybe next time you can show me around, have a good one
