Hi Russ, i was on a blue cbr600rr in the yellow group. I didn't do L2 on the tues. Im signed up for L2 in July ( plenty of time to practice the L1 drills) How did your Level 2 go?? Chris.

Hi Black Flag and welcome to the forum. I think i met you on the Monday on L1. Was it you i was talking to and you recomended me a route back to the A1??? Chris.

hi chris, You must consider that your tyres will get worked much, much harder than they ever would on the road and basically you can expect the pressures to rise by around 4-5 psi in the front and more in the rear, thus why we suggest you lower them. don't do ths till you get to school though as these pressures are to low for the road, We have prssure gauges and compressor to do this at the track.. Will it damage your tyres, nope, not at all, its the extra work and loads you put on them that destorys them. you won't destory a set of tyres in 1 day either! Any other questions, please do ask, if not, see ya Monday. Bullet Thanks for clarifying the question Bullet. Looks like we should have decent weather. See ya tomorrow! Chris.

Hi, and thanks for the welcome Bullet . I have only have 1 small concern for the school day, the info-pack i received recommends lowering tyre pressures to 30 - 32 psi for the day. I have my tyres set at the recommended pressures of 42 rear & 36 front ( cbr600rr - pirelli diablo) and this seems to be a big drop in pressures. Will my tyres be ok at these pressures? Thanks, Chris.

Hi Progression, thanks for the advice and link. Yes, i am really open minded to anything that will make me a better rider. Im really hoping i get the EUREKA moment on Level 1. How did your days go? did you do Level 1 &2 ?? Chris.

Great video's Bullet. The track looks really good. Must put it down as a track " to do" Two things that i noticed were 1. the amount of times you had a quicker & tighter line coming out of the corners and passing other riders on the inside. Is this a benefit of turning later & quick turn??? 2. your body position always parallel to the bike, compared to quite a few riders you passed with a crossed up body position ( hips over into the turn, but the head/shoulders still in the centre). Chris.

Hi forum members, been lurking on the site for a while now and its time to introduce myself as i am doing level 1 on 17 may at silverstone. Im chris, got back into road riding about 4 years ago after a 20 year lay off!! Currently riding a 05 cbr600rr which i have done a couple of trackdays in the novice group which i really enjoyed I have read TWOT 1 & 2 and have the new dvd. Any advice for preparation for School Day appreciated. Chris.
