South West Bikers | Motorcycle Forum

I don't post much on here but I thought I'd give a quick post about what I've done with the bike this year.

I'd had the bike for ten years on 1st August, but have done less and less miles every year, with it now having covered 24000 (had 4002 when I bought it). That 20000 inca a road trip to Valencia Moto GP in 2005 and to Le Mans Moto GP in 2010.

Started of by doing the California Superbike School @ Rockingham. With Level One completed I only did 30 mile on the road all summer.

So I decided to do my first Euro Track Day @ Portimao in sunny Portugal with No Limits.




However Day One was a wash out thanks to the tail end of the storm that battered the Uk.

Days two and three were a little better.....

Stayed with a friend in his villa




Ready to go




On track








Loaded up in Still ready for trip home.

A very well run event by the No Limits Team inc the Infamous Tea Urn.

After a shakey start, i increased in confidence every session. Really enjoyed the weekend and I've just booked a return trip in May 2014.


Rough costings:

3 days on track inc accomodation and bike transport from Swindon. £479

Fuel to get bike to Swindon and back £80

Flights, parking and hire car £300

Fuel for bike, food and drink £250

Indeed it is

Hence why I'm going back there rather than a little Spanish number.
