Title: Gratuitous photo-whoring to cheer myself up
Post by: tucola on June 27, 2016, 11:55:06 AM
Felt a bit like fiddling while Rome burns given Friday's news, but bikes are still fun: first time with the Panigale on track at Donington GP on Saturday.

This was a road bikes-only day with No Limits, which is more where I'm at with it these days.

First track day in at least a couple of years for me.

Stunning pic mate. How was the day overall?

Cheers dude!

Overall, mixed.

Two dry sessions in the morning, which were great fun and then the heavens opened with utterly torrential rain for about an hour.

Circuit was closed for safety reasons and they called an early lunch at 11:45.

Allowed back out in the wet at about 1:30, with intermittent rain.

I did one wet session after lunch, but was slipping about a lot on Diablo Rosso Corsas and not really enjoying it for fear of chucking my transport home down the road, and it was continuing to rain, so called it a day.

Was still worth doing though, as my first trackday for a couple of years and the first on the 899.

No apexes were harmed in the making of this photo either I see.

Keep up the good work, I have been a keen apex preservationist for years.

Just coming in with the old laser-like focus for a late apex there innit.

Second attempt at Donington GP on the Pani - excellent sunny day this Monday gone with m6rk and another erstwhile MCNNinja stalwart revetts.

Something resembling an apex at least within the same shot on this one for you, Dom

And eyebrows modestly hidden this time behind the old dark visor to avoid frightening the children.
