That looks like you were having a good go.
Don't you just hate it when those big bikes slow you down in the corners. It looked like you could carry a lot more corner speed if they weren't' in your way.

They let some bikes on the track with mirrors?

Looks like a fun little loop (except for those concrete patches in the apexes!)!  Nicely done.  Thanks!

It wasn't too bad this time, the bigger bikes that were going slower than me let me past and didn't try to pass me again on the straights.

It was a Honda Riders Club rider development day focused at road riders rather than racers, they supposedly don't allow racebikes on the track for these track days. I took my mirrors off, I think in the riders briefing they recommended removing mirrors, but I guess it's not compulsory.

Cheers  :grin:

Haven't watched it yet, will do that when I get home.

You planning on going to either of the November trackdays at Taupo?

I haven't thought that far ahead. If I can afford it, chances are I'll go to one of them.
