Checking in from the UK

[uktrackdayriders]

Hi Guys.
Just thought I would say hello from the other side of the pond.

I dropped in early on in the year just as this site was starting, at the same time I started a .co.uk version of the same idea !

Very encouraging to see you guys using sports bikes as they were intended to be used, as seen on the onbike video page.

When I read the UK bike press it sounds like everyone in the US rides a Harley or a slammed and pimped  sportsbike with a 225 rear tyre.

I have been watching the AMA rounds - Mainly cos Neil Hodgson rides there and have to say some of the tracks look awesome.

The Laguna round of MotoGP was pretty cool to.

I am hoping to get a european trackday in early in 2007, hopefully somewhere in spain, maybe Jerez or Catalunya. If it happens I will video the day from onboard.

Our next trackday is at Oulton park in the UK. A wonderfull park circuit that is used in the BSB championship and my favorite circuit in the UK.


Keep it up..

Cheers


Mark

Hey Mark,

It's nice to hear from you.  Your website is looking good.  This site basically started out as a M$ Excel spreadsheet of all the trackdays I wanted to do and grew from there.

I know what you mean about the American stereotype of bikers.  To a certain degree, it may be true.  Most of the people (that I know around here) who have no knowledge about bikes buy a Harley or the biggest-fastest sport-bike they can find without knowing how to ride it.  Sad really.

Definitely send us some links to your videos when you get them.  We live for that stuff.

Yeah ! that was fun! blew away half the crowd close by watching at the IOM TT06  - Ramsey Sprint (Its a RWYB event). Some crazy dutch guy fitted a helicopter jet turbnine into a quad...


Must be too much grass over there
