Mickey Miuse,I've done some track days there with No Limits,Great Day out,each track has it's issues,challenges and good points too.It's just great to be on the bike.Go to Mallory on Boxing Day,watch the Plum Pudding races,that's no Mickey Mouse.
Was having gear change issues that day and so couldn't grab 3rd and 4th while on it. Fixed it a few weeks later with a new return spring for the gear change.
True - mikethebiker , it's not exactly bad riding but he does need to sort out his gear selections ! But fair play MoiX1970 - you're out there doin' it and I can't fault that mate 'cause trackdays rule ! ! !
@fooster101 If you never had the gear indicator,nobody would know what gear you were in,you included,and it is not relevant anyway.You hear the engine,you know when to change,if things are tight,it's not always smart to be reving on an R1 in a low gear,as they have the grunt for short shifting,they have all the torque to keep going well,in the wet,cold tyres,sharp corners.All these gods who bellitle you,why are they not racing on T.V? Answer,They are Wankers!!! Go out,have fun,learn,Enjoy!
Thanks for the comments...re 2nd on the elbow, my R1 had problems with its gear change that day particullarly 2nd to 3rd so i choose most of the time to keep it in 2nd longer till the straight so i didn't perform a bad change mid-elbow.
Bought & changed my chain at lunchtime, but didn't help much and problem traced a week or so later to weak return springs in the mech.
Yeah not bad but as mentioned above use all the track should be tipping into gerrards at 90+ and coming out in the 110's ;-) although I canr't talk I had a high side out of edwina's :-0
nice riding, i live in mallory, and have always fancied a go :D
i dont know what the hell edirtsr is on about, besides trackdays are about seeing what your bike can really do, without killing yourself! nice R1 by the way, liking gear indicator, i seen 140 on your speedo, pretty nippy :)
Editsr, how about you come over here from SA and try it yourself before talking about crap lines. I might not be the greatest thing on two wheels, but I've been to most UK tracks and Mallory is MICKEY MOUSE, too short and my lines weren't so bad considering it was my first (& possibly last) list. Hell even the pits are little more than a cow shed :-/

Hey Mo - don't call it a Mickey Mouse track, until you stop running such crap lines. Use all the track. Get on the throttle early, get smooth.
