I took it on track
« on: 05 October 2016, 07:46:51 am »
So after doing two stints at the Ron Haslem race school Donnington, one dry day then a wet day I got the bug to go faster safer, I am now riding an 09 Fireblade on the road, just been over to the Red Bull ring Austria, 2,500 mile trip, great fun as always and a bike that,s a belter to tour on.
Anyway I kept the Fazer so set it upfor track and 3 of us booked our first track day at Oulton Park.


Wow, about 6 sessions in Novice,about 30 or 40 bikes, started steady,,scared myself on braking and probably speed too but it just got better and better, going very very wel by the last session, fantastic fun, now wait until the next one.







I had taken the home made baffle out and shut the slots a bit and extended it by abot 7 inches and drilled it full of small holes , sound test result was 101 dcb and limit is 102 dcb so happy and allowed on track.
New front pads, lowered,well flipped bars over,removed mirrors,number plate,reset tyre pressures and GO.
