Ron Haslam race school

[helen]

I'm posting this in here 'cos I can't make the yuku board do what I want today!!
 
Anyhow, just thought I'd share my excitement with the group after doing a Ron Haslam race school day last week.
 

Details

 
This is also a trial run to see if my photo appears in the post!!  The day was brilliant.  I'd done one before, but still have SO much to learn about riding a bike.  Mostly it's a confidence thing, I can't quite bring myself to trust the bike and carry more corner speed or climb around the bike and hang off the seat    So as the photo (hopefully) shows, there's no chance of knee down action yet!
 
Very impressed with the CBR600 - I'd never ridden a sports 600 before - it was a revelation 
Light, easy to steer, no clunky gear changes, neutral handling, fantastic bike. I'm so tempted, though the trusty Fazer may never forgive me

Wow! You look very comfortable on it and my collegue Owen says it looks like you're going very fast

And good ho for getting the picture posted

did you pick a bike to match your leathers ??? looking very cool calm and collected on there - well done

[dolau]

Yep- look a lot more comfortable than I did at castle Coombe on my own fazer! Damp undies or what!

   I borrowed the leathers from the race school - so naturally they matched the bike!!!
 
Strangely I did feel very comfortable on the bike - managed to hit the rev limiter on the straights (mostly only in 2nd gear), but couldn't carry the speed round the corners.
 
Next stage - I put the pics on my work computer as a screen saver. One of my colleagues has gone to look at a Ducatic 748 tonight to buy as a track bike. So we are seriously thinking about some company track days on the Italian beast
