well i think the school days would be better if they do them, at least they actually do try and help you with the riding aspects, i thought track days were just turning up with your own bike and getting out there

Track days at Jerez at least involve you turning up and your bike must pass a full safety check before being allowed anywhere near the track.

Yes I suppose your right, I'm not getting to far trying to teach myself. Wrapped a car around a tree a few years back, and it told me I was mortal after all. So scared of cars so bought a bike instead, much safer

makes perfect sense
i just think the schools like haslams at donnington are so much better, you get a loaner bike and proper instruction, amazing how much quicker you get through the day!

Just imagine if you wrapped the bike around the tree instead, you wouldn't be posting here!

You're probably right actually.. all the ones I've ever come across go round corners so damn slowly that there's no chance they'd hurt themselves

Fair enough. We do find the Biscay crossing is a wonderful break for a couple of sore butts.
