You get about a bit. I’v always been a road rider, biker rallies and parties are our main enjoyment, so it’s off with the top box and rack, and minor preparation for the track.
Enjoy the rest of the season. |

"Yep, I've done a couple on my 600 Bandit at Pembrey in Wales... Great fun. With sticky tyres"
Just running standard sports touring PR4’s which were good enough for my old dinosaur VTR1000 and good enough to go faster than a new all singing all dancing Ducati with sticky rubber on my first time out in the novice sessions.
Been advised to go up to intermediates.
Now this could be biting off more than I can chew, but I’ll find out on Saturday. |

If your going to nurburgring everything closes at 7.30 -8pm even the bar and restaurant in our hotel did I couldn’t believe it
If there’s a rock concert or beer festival on then everything stays open be as careful as poss if you intend to ride it |

I raced a lot over the years, just love getting on bike now and enjoying it with no pressure.
Not so keen on watching, gets competitive side wanting more. |
