Chasing the Easter Bunny















Last Saturday was a lovely balmy Autumn day. Ideal for a a spin on a the bike. But not just any bike or any road. How about a race bike on a race track? Or a road bike on a race track? And so my late arrival at Manfeild was just in time to see Tim and Warren pile there bikes in the trailer and head off for a beer after a very satisfying day at the track. Tim had his CBR 600 clocking up a few more track kays, whilst Warren was well satisfied with his Suzuki Lucky Strike RGV VJ22 performing a lot better with an Aprilia RS black box and new suspension in the back. Great to see Dion and Kim out on the track with a pair of smokers in the form of a Suzuki RGV VJ21 and a Honda NSR MC21. Alongside them was Jamie on his Honda CBR400 NC29. Ian and Gary were out for a look with Gary making noises about getting back out on the track as well.
It has been interesting to see how our band of brothers interest in bikes has developed over time with a broader range of motorcycling activities being enjoyed. For many of us as family and work  commitments change, we are provided with more opportunities to revisit or try activities from our earlier years. Great seeing people take them up and a big thanks to the Central Districts Touring Club for providing the track day.
