I haven't got much planed for 2010. I will definitely do some track days. I want to ride Rockingham and Brands Hatch
again. I would like to ride a couple of new motor racing circuits maybe Mallory Park, Oulton Park or Croft.
Stop Press
- I rode a Track Day at Rockingham Raceway on 31st May with No Limits Events. The Tiger performed well as
ever. The day was overcast and a little damp to start so we had to take it easy at first, the Temperature never
got past 17 degrees. I managed to get in the grove and chewed up the edge of tyres nicely. Riding the Tiger
1050 on a Track is good fun you just have to be smooth and measured. This time we used the International
Circuit which includes 2 sections of the (Nascar) Oval Banking. I was flat in 5th in 2 places on the banking
the rest of Rockingham is 3rd or 4th gear. On the day most riders were on Race Replicas with racing tyres
and tyre warmers. The guys in my pit seemed to appreciate me just turning up and riding a big Traillie. My
Dunlop Roadsmart tyres are highly recommended. Good for 6,000 miles on the road and grippy on a track.
- I rode an evening Track Day booked with No Limits for Brands Hatch on 29th of June. Great fun, on a great
circuit. Thanks to the world cup there were fewer riders which meant more track time.
Trips planned for 2010 on the Tiger 1050
I am so busy with work and I want to spend more time at my Villa in Turkey so I don't think I will be taking any long trips on
the Tiger in 2010. I would like to ride up the East Coast of Scotland to John O'Groats. Will I find the time? Who knows.
