What you really need to sell is a 3-4 dayer in Spain...best way to immerse yourself in it...especially as you're living in the arse end of nowhere :p

Glad you had a great day. If you don't over cook a braking area you're not trying hard enough :)

Now your talking Alex! But being realistic u think u need a bit more practice before that.

Main area the instructors were telling me to consolidate on was consistency, which I think would be a major hindering to others on a European trip. Last thing I'd want is to be the slow guy, who people are worried about overtaking!
 
Probably best to ask an instructor who's seen you ride.
However, everyone starts somewhere and trust me I doubt you're as slow as some in the slow groups at Almeria. Remember there's people doing their first day on track out there.
3-4days of consistent track time, taking instruction on day 1, will be transformational.

Lol, would that be a logistical nightmare Kenny?

Just getting the bike to FE would take at least a couple of days ? :confused:

They do a northern pickup...
They also store the bike all winter for ?60 (insurance). So you can just fly out and use it...hell if you have a numberplate you can just use them as a tour base too.

I think I need to look into a Spanish event. I'm going to struggle to get somthing else booked before the summer is over.

I think there is one of the organisers do a pick up/drop off in Stirling. I'll need to ask about at home, a local lad that does them regularly, said somthing about getting them to come up to Inverness, if there is enough demand.
 
A few photo's of the day. The HP4 race was a peice of art, was 2nd time guy had had it out, and was a week old. He traded in a V4 Ducati for it!

Nice pics kenny. Good to read you had a good day.

Fairings look great, along with the forum decals of course!!!
 
Thanks, I need to improve my riding in every area, but had a great day.

Fairings are from Phil Crowey. Painted them myself last week, but ran out of time to finish them. Will do for now, and I'll finish them in the winter, hopefully.

No limits are the company. They need a minimum of 12 bikes for the pick up or it’s Manchester...
