I love it...obviously apart from the worry about encountering the law I thoroughly enjoy our roads in my part of the world.
Blessed.
Same here. I suspect the Welsh road ways are similar to the Scottish tarmac ribbons just less miles of it.
It's a great place to ride.
Geography certainly plays its part.
I took the bike out for a couple of hours earlier and it's just traffic and more traffic!
Thinking of doing a trackday at Donington in next few weeks to see if I can still ride fast....

Back on topic, very much enjoying my road riding at the moment. Any opportunity to be out on the bike

I know mate.... not many of them either
Road riding - yep love it, been out today only about 80 miles but they were fun miles :azn:
Tell me more about this Road bike track day in August :azn:
North Yorkshire roads are made for motorcycles
Ninjas track day?!
Also what's your fav road in north wales?
The Area you live in influences how much fun you have. Moving from Somerset to Portsmouth ruined my enjoyment on the road as there were few decent quiet roads about. Back in Somerset and easy access to far better roads as far as Wiltshire, north Devon and south Wales. Rejuvenated my enjoyment of road riding again.

Friday 17th August for me. I'd do the Oulton one too but I'm probably away.

I have a few - varies with type of bike. Some roads are better on a sports bike but some that are awesome on the 790 Scalpel would be too much to handle on a super bike.
I'm not telling you what any of them are as a few are generally quiet and cop free and I want them to stay that way 😜

I'm booked on. Inters
Still enjoy road riding, although I find I have to be a little more cautious about routes and as I ride daily it seems I appreciate a really good jolly for the fun of it even more now... So tempted by the idea of the road bike track day now ...

Tempted on Novice, Could be fun on the Zed to get a feel for her properly in a safe environment.
Be awesome if you could. I think GN is up for it and Lewis is making the right noises on Facebook.

Same. I would have deffo done it (on the QT Mrs M)....
What are the rules for road bike days.
I've left my gixer in road trim for track minus the number plate hanger.
If that's put back on I'd be good to go wouldn't I ?
I've heard you can't turn up in a trailer or van and tyre warmers arn't allowed.

Bike must be fully road legal, able to ride to and from the track..... they encourage you to ride there but it's not a rule so trailering is fine.
Tire warmers aren't allowed.
I rode to donny in the ZX10R the only trackday I've done there. It was wet.
Road legal or not, it has to be better trailering or vanning it there. Just in case like.

i suspect logic in riding it there is you are much less likely to chuck it into the gravel if you know you have to get home on it again
i know it keeps me slow as shite when i do track days :rofl:
I read the road bike only days as being more chilled out, more "gentlemanly" and hopefully more controlled with regards to overtaking and on track etiquette.
I'm probably hugely wide of the mark 😂
Shame they don't do one at Anglesey.

Dicko's done a couple, pretty much word for word what he said......... Lot's of PAJ's, much more respect given.
I'm pretty paranoid about dropping the MV so I know I'll keep things steady.
I remember those two scouse idiots at your valley day.
I've got time off for the 17th Aug so I will be there for moral support and pisstaking. I doubt I'll be riding but you never know

I found my '05 Z750 just didn't give me enough feedback from the front on track. That's something I didn't really feel on the roads. Was still great fun, though.

Shes in with JHS getting the front forks serviced and up-rated with K-Tec springs so fingers crossed.
