Snetterton Track Day!

[2010]

Had an awsome day on Sunday at Snetterton on my GSX R750 K9. I'd driven the track in my 335i a couple of years ago and didnt really enjoy it - but i thought it was an awsome circuit on the bike and felt completely different and much more suited to a bike. The day was pretty much incident free apart from 2 big high sides that i almost managed to catch on one of my videos - you just see the aftermath if you watch closely! The new Contour HD camera was great and footage pretty cool - shame i couldnt mount it perfectly horizontal using the sticky mounts but im impressed with the quality - see links below. It was a very hot day, track temps were well into the 100's and it was all but melting my new Supercorsa's, which were absolutely amazing, never once let go, span up nicely when i wanted them to and incredible lean angles. Overall really happy with how the bike performed and handled - my only grumble coming from litre bikes and lastly a GSXR 1000 K8, was the lack of grunt on the straights - if you watch the vids you will see me eating all the big bikes on the brakes and most corners but then losing ground on the fast straights, even though i was still hitting just short of 170mph on the back straight!!! Just booked Silverstone GP for June 24th and cant wait!!

Looked like a smashing day, by far the quickest out there! Impressive quality footage captured too.

Thanks fella - it was an amazing day, albeit a little too warm! I didnt do too bad considering it was only my 2nd time at Snetterton (first time on a bike) and pretty much everyone else were on litre bikes. Really looking forward to trying out the new Silverstone circuit on June 24th!!
