Couple of us had a trackday and acu test booked at Brands yesterday 28th. What a friggin day to have it! 2 fallen trees on the way, 45min detour to get there and pi$$in down lol. Even had wagon on track clearing the water, leaves etc. With the strong winds a dry line started to emerge by the time track was open. I think if it wasnt for the test i probably would have gone home in case i dropped before spain... Had a session and a half before the rain came down again then had an early lunch before 'classroom' session. Have to say if you fail the written there has to be something seriously wrong with you. Thats about an hour, then out on track for riding assessment and guess what, started pi$$ing down again:biggrin-new:. Now rain doesnt generally bother me but when you get wind in the equasion thats different. 3 times coming down from druids into graham hill bend (left hander) i lost the front because the wind was left to right there and friggin strong, you could feel it unload and pick up the front then dump it 2 feet away:concern: ! Bearing in mind this was at prob half pace, more upright and one of the failures the examiner said was falling off lol. Paddock bend was similar, start finish straight wind was behind carrying you in there quicker than normal, tipping in, down hill, off camber and again being pushed wide by the wind. I usually do 2tanks of fuel at brands during the day, yesterday i didnt get through one. Anyway, alls good, we got through and in one piece !! Roll on spain in a few weeks time ! :Banane35:
