did my first 'proper' track day today at silverstone, vid looks quite slow but still hitting 140 at the end of the hangar straight, 3.6 mile,3min lap, moto gp do it in 2 min, f1 cars do it in 1min 30 ish  had a great day, vid is not the best quality, only buell there, but definately not the slowest thing out there, overtook plenty of dukes  | ||

Were you running one of your exhausts, or did you go back to stock ? Can't really hear much of the exhaust on the soundtrack - and I thought Silverstone had a sound limit. | ||
| Albert666 |
i was running my 'quieter' exhaust for the track day, they have sound meters around the track and the drive by is 102db, so i could possibly get away with my usual can with a baffle in, but didn't want to risk it, if your bike breaks the drive by meter it takes a pic so they know which bike it is and you go home, no messing, just home | ||

Nice one Alan, what group was you running in ? you needed to be in the next one up for sure, i'm guessing that was beginners ? Let me know when you do another trackday and i'll come along, 2 buells at once, they wont know what hit em | ||

looks like a lot nicer facility than the one i've been learning at. if that was a gopro, pick up the suction cup mount and stick it right on the front of the windscreen. much better video. i did a session with it stuck to the radiator cover, one from the tail section, one from the windscreen of my cr. that camera is unbelievable!! | ||

silverstone is a great facility, as you would expect from a moto gp/f1 venue, and its only 20 mins from my house, the camera is just a bog standard samsung camcorder, i'm looking at go pro/drift cams | ||

track day at Ty Croes is now saturday Sept 17th due to " a lack of participants" Would have liked to have been on the track with just my brother on his R1 I am wondering if I should remove the stator wiring mod since the engine now spends 100% of its time on trackdays, can't trust its reliability for road use | ||
| Albert666 |
i'd love to do ty croes as well maybe next year | ||

At first I wondered why the video was shaped like a pair of underpants. Thankfully I didn't see any skidmarks! Thanks for sharing. |
