Victor, yep we were lucky the forecast for the remaining week is rain and around 11c, the Moto 2 and 3 teams were arriving as we left...but testing goes on I guess
top action pics .. last one is great..bang on the apex…. never been to this track seen it soooo many times on the TV ,,it always reminds me of the Rossi / Gibernau duel on that last lap on the last corner ….remember that ? superb
Rich, do you mean between the 1098 and gsxr? If so I didn't ride the gixxer at all.. Initially I couldn't get to grips with the 10, had road tyres on due to difficulties getting the bloody rear wheel off...had no confidence from the off, rear moving around lots under braking going in and squirming coming out. Did not enjoy at all, so very different to the gsxr in every possible way. Really lost my head struggling with it..eventually got the rear wheel off and put some sticky stuff on, have to say first time with dunlop and wow....brilliant. Confidence flooded back, had some top guidance from a professional racer and really fell in love with the 10, just need to pick up the speed. Watched on board and I definitely should have pushed it harder, it will come. Want to get the 10 to Oulton, probably in April, the gsxr is for three sisters, far more suitable for that track than the 10.
Amazing few days. Got to say massive thanks to gaz letting me use the GSXR. Amazing bike capable of times way beyond my ability. Definitely keeping an eye out for a track bike now. Just need to make it work financially.
