Fancy a track day bike for under a grand
« on: 21 March 2016, 09:58:30 pm »

Right then fellas, got a massive itch about track days that needs scratching this year. So at 6'4" is there anything out there that fits, won't fall to bits or blow on 1st outing or do I go the same as SGPWWG in linky below who seems to have a right cracking time on his Boxeye. It's been probably 25yrs since I last hit a track so any advice appreciated  :thumbup [size=78%].[/size]

Those are my principles...if you don't like them I have others.

I'm doing a track day at Silverstone on the 28th of April on the mighty Thou'. I've not done a track day for about 15 years and am a wee bit excited.

You going on your own Mickey? Just had a look and couldn't see any slots for that date.

Hi Jeff. My bike is going in a van with 3 other guys I don't know and I'm in a car with 2 mates towing their bikes.  Plus I've heard that a few others will be riding up.  The 2 I'm going with are recent addicts and have another 10 track days already booked up this year.

SGPWWG here got another track day book at Bedford Autodrome with MSV on June 4th, still in the novice section, would love to see another Fazer on track.
