I went to Snetterton on Saturday 25th August for a trackday, it is a very flat and fast circuit (I was getting up to 165mph ish - but the fast boys would probably get 180 no problem) - there are only 2 left hand bends, so the right hand side of the tyre takes a hammering whilst the left stays relatively cold.

This was highlighted during the pre-start briefing yet some people didn't listen/remember/care and still managed to come off on the second left - a chicane leading to the start finish straight.

One of which was a guys on an R6 about 4 metres in front of me - he lowsided, parted company with the bike and they went in different directions.

So I'm leaning over and thinking oh crap - put the bike upright, lots of brakes, nearly stop in fact and then ride around the rider & the bike - oops and phew

Anyway, I thought I'd share some pics with you guys & girls. . . . .























Hope you like. . .

cool pics, but why are you tucking your knee in?? compare yours to this up and coming moto gp rider...

Irace4Kimchi

knee pucks are getting expensive.

but it makes my pictures look super cool! lol

Dan Hale

Tuck knee in = more lean















But I'm sure you knew that already

Kekoa

Less lean = faster.







duhhhh....

Dan Hale

Less lean = faster = straighter = crash

Jacko

Holy crap I think I would of shit myself

Thanks for sharing and wow I can't believe you where hitting 165

I was going slightly faster than that on the way to the track that morning - didn't want to be late
