Ooops, forgot about the CCM track day. I did one of then 2 yaers ago, at Rowrah. What a fantastic day! Myself and 2 mates went up there, and they run it like an endurance race – the morning is practice, the afternoon was a 2.5 hour race, the team doing the most laps wins! The 3 of us had never ridden a supermoto before, never been on a track before, one guy had just passed his test and never ridden anything more powerful than a H100s…….. and because we had to be in teams of 4, we got teamed up with a proper billy-no-mates, but he said he’d done it before.
By the end of the day we were all lapping pretty quickly, and not getting overtaken every other lap by the leaders. Then they announced we had come third – I nearly had a heart attack! The painful bit comes at the end of the day, we were charged an extra £20 for each crash, luckily I’d only had one off, but one guy in our team (Rick) dumped it 4 times[V] Ah well.
A great day out, I’d like to do it again. And no, the CCM’s are as good as anything else before you start…..[

Just had a look at the Clews website as well, didn’t know they were using Lydd racetrack, been trying to find a trackday there for ages, looks like a good motard track – I’ll have to have a go round there before the years out.
