    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I never thought that I would be a track day type of person but it's so much fun.

The day was run by The Bike Shed MCC https://bikeshedmoto.com/ and it was for any inapropriate motorcyles so bobbers, choppers, adventure or any other bike you would not normally take to a standard track day, also Charlie Borman was there riding an electric Harley similar to the one he and Ewan McGreggor rode on the Long Way Up, I can report the thing went like a rocket.
 
I though that an update on my track day activities was required. I have now done 8 track days and they are just the best time a person can spend clad in leather. The days are run by the Bike Shed Moto co and are aimed at those of us who would not normally do a track day. The pictures below show what sort of bikes and owners attend and tearing around with people of a certain vintage on inappropriate motorcycles is a great way to spend your day.







 
No chicken strips on those Dunlops. Well done!
A fellow near me has an ongoing Moto Morini 3-1/2 project. Those 500s are beautiful.
 
Nice! I grew up near there.... Was fun to go watch the bikes & Trucks etc. Could always tell when the bikes were racing even when I didn't go as there would be bikes pulling wheelies down the A20... They police it better these days! :)
 
What a great time! I had a similar experience years back but at a younger age.
I did a Keith Code Superbike School when I was 40 and started racing flat track racing that same year. Congratz! 5-29-10 TT jump II.jpg
