    Blackbird Cadwell park trackday.

    This was my first trackday on the Bird, Cadwell is not really the best track for a bike of it's size, but she did well! Shame i'm not good enough to do her justice. She sure showed a few of the sports bikes the way home...

    Re: Blackbird Cadwell park trackday.

    You could recut that video as a series of demonstrations of how not to ride a sports bike for each rider that you got stuck behind!

    I miss Cadwell Park, there really isn't anything quite like it over here.....great mix of high-speed, high power and tight, technical sections....shame about the extra chicane that they have thrown into the back straight, that little squirt down towards the mountain was good fun.

    How does the GPro stay on, just the suction cups? Anything else to keep it from falling?

    Re: Blackbird Cadwell park trackday.

    The gopro is held on by a sticky mount on the front of the fairing. I'll be going in inters next time. I was unsure as to whether me or the Bird would be quick enough for that as I've not been on track for some time. I was told that I'd have been asked to move up but there wasn't any room.

    Haha. It was the second and last session of the day for me as we had a thunder storm right after that and I wasn't risking my road bike in those conditions looking at some of the riders out there.
