You need a bigger bike haha. Do you think that having to smaller leathers could have caused you all that trouble on the Yorkshire ride? Possible if it is to tight and restricting blood flow.

No mate, all in one, or a zip up pair. All the info is in the first post.

Do we really want to know why that was his first thought? It will most likely be related to seb not wanting to throw a £5k bike down there track. To be honest I can see his point, I don't want to throw my £1.4k bike down the track but hey. If I do I won't be making the same mistake again :lol:

Hi I'm interested no real preference for track, I'm also a track day virgin.
My work may get in the way but please post the date and will see if it clashes.

Got to be Mallory for mate,105db day for anyone with proper cans on,noise levels are logarithmic and 98db is fairly quiet,best track to go on for first time,easy to learn,good grip,no nasty suprises except coming out of busstop chicane where track goes offcamber onto straight just hug left edge and let it gently pull back to centre of track.was some time since I was there but I loved it,gerrards is unreal it goes on and on smooth tarmac you just get quicker and quicker ,might not be all that fast but you still feel like Rossi!if we all arrive early could help eachother tape up and set suspension,as long as you don't treat it as a race it's fantastic fun.ady f.

Yeah it does sound good mate. Been watching on board videos of Mallory and it looks nice and wide and smooth.

I can't wait to do this track day :D
