Just spent a few hours at Oulton Park bike track day. The wanna bees do try eh. Some lovely bikes but no normal bikes. Some road registered but mostly track bikes.
Had to laff, one session got red flagged as a guy had come off. Talking to him later he said he hates Oulton, every time he comes he falls off. I asked him if he does it on purpose. Bless him he's only 65.
A great few hours chatting to the riders and watching the efforts.
I have just come home to pick the RT up to go back and show them how to do it properly :-o

I’ve done Mallory, but I used a school bike!

Ed and I spent most Sundays watching club racing. Great fun.

Not watched all the vid yet, just the bit about Oulton. Such a massive change from them days to today. As at most circuits safety has improved tremendously.
