First Trackday with the 250R (Lots of pics)
On the 5th of June took my ninjette on its first trackday. Would of made a thread sooner but just got the pictures through. Unfortunatly failed to get any kneedown haha.
Lots of pics. In the paddock at the start. My mate on the fence. His bike is the ZXR400 On Track Pics My mate getting his knee down, yep i was jealous haha Im in front of a zx6r here, not for long though My tyres afterwards Yeh as you can see it was a really fun day. Already booked up to do Donnington in August. Its gonna be a blast.

Thanks for the comments,
It really was a good day, only cost £55 ($91) as well which is really cheap There were 3 groups running out on track, novice (What i was in), intermediate and experts. We each got 5, 30 minute sessions during the day and totaled 70 miles which was and 55 laps i think. So really got the moneys worth. As for the Track it is the Llandow Circuit, South Wales, UK. I am running mismatched tyres at the moment i have the original IRC tyre on the Front and on the rear a Continenental ContiGo. I would highly recommend it as it offers much higher grip than my IRC rear did

Congrats! I was just thinking about going to one near Vancouver here. 55 laps are a lot more than I have imagined for a track day. That's a lot of experimentation and practice. Did you notice any difference in your riding before and after?

Wales it a bit far for me, Silverstone or Donnington would be better.
