A crash at T1 going 1km/h? I'm sorry... but what? lol Further explanation please...P.S. thumbs up for the rest!
Sooo (sing in 12 days of christmas tune)......
On my third day of trackdays, my r6 gave to me, one used up tyre, two false neutrals, and a KNEE DOWN on turn 3.... also 2, 5 and 10 and 18, a crash at turn one (at 1km/h) and a very very happy chappy...
Seriously though, best day ever... Even though i dropped the bike (absolutely no damage!!!!!!!!) i got my body position just right, lines are flowing and smooth and i even got to follow both Greg Zacconne and Mark Weaver... I even passed Weavle on Wade Lewis' "goof" HAHA it didnt last for long :P
Time to move up to green group seeing as though the guys in yellow were holding me up abit and i GOT MY KNEE DOWN!!!!!! HELL YEAH!!!! 3rd trackday EVER!! and i got a knee down around 2, 5, 10 and 18. Never would have thought i would have been here after 3 trackdays..... STOKED!!!! Cheers Stu23!!!!!
Carl-52 over and out.....

well, im going full throttle to the 150 mark now, so i backed off the gas and went to drop it into 5th gear and i got a false neutral!!!! (was wearing dads old Gaerne boots and i couldnt feel the gear lever as much as my other now broken boots). So i tried to get it back into 6th to make the corner and when i let the clutch out it locked up the rear..... so i pulled the clutch in and decided i would do a bit of grass tracking straight off the track. Managed to stop the bike Juuuuust before the first gravel trap and just as i was turning the bike the rear dropped into the gravel whilst the dash read 1km/h. i then promptly fell on my arse but kept the bike from hitting the deck hard. Ran over to the wall and sat out the last 4 laps. Received Cheers and applause from the other staff guys when i returned!!!
Well done mate!!
Mark and Greg shoulda been in red
they dropped down for a giggle, Mark to try Wade's goof and Greg to follow me for a bit

Hahahahahaha hmmm if im still around ill remind you of this in say oooh another 10 or so years lol. Only 1 or 2 more in yellow to make sure all is good then onto scarey green group !
Dammit... I'm not even a dad (knock on wood) and I have to admit I agree with the elderly above. Don't rush it, learn as much as you can from each group (except white where all you learn is that there's a lot of ppl who shouldn't own bike) and you'll be fine, mate.
A wise man once said "you don't get faster by moving up, you move up because you got faster"**
**that wise man was me... thank you very much, peeps.
