Hello Fella,
Not too shabby yourself! You're getting the best it has there pretty much. On the way out of Montreal it looks like. Just move your bum back a little, drop your head and inside shoulder, relax that left elbow just a tad and you'll be winding the throttle the end stop in no time.
Cadwell's a hoot and one of my all time favorite tracks. Keep an eye on Robert for next year, he's talking about doing another BMW club date at Cadwell in 2015. If not, I'm sure we'll be heading up there again on our own next year, just for fun.

Thanks Mitch,
Loving the Black and White shot!

On the KTM at Brands Hatch earlier in the year, notice no Hi-Viz, I was on my own, no instruction, a pure 'play day':

Thanks for the tips! I might do the Haslam school at Donnington some time next year for some extra tuition like this. It is indeed coming out of Montreal!

I'll be signing up for all of the BMW Club dates next year I think. I've got a spare set of fairings for the BCR now so I can keep them safe and sound so expect to see me in yellow!

Cadwell Park July 2015: We had a great day and the people at MSV Cadwell performed to their usual brilliant standard. All the riders I spoke with were great as well.

As always, these trackdays provide me the chance to catch up with friends who I otherwise never get to see. It was great to see Tanneman, Er-Minio, Metripolis and Surflogic again, plus the BMW guys (Rob, Jim, Dave E, James and David H to mention a few). I swear the people are what makes the Non-Competetive trackdays enjoyable.

In short, a really nice day at the track, even with the rain. My pics from Gary at Picman arrived yesterday:

Leaving the Pits for the first sighting session on the new-to-me GS. My 'Inner Show-Off' got the better of me for a moment:




One of only a couple on the BCR. I got 2 sessions on it in between my other duties but the rain in the afternoon saw it back in the trailer due to the tyres I have on it:



The other BCR picture. Its more to show the Park not-straight at the back of the circuit. What may not be quite so obvious from the picture is how much of a drop you make and the climb back up the other side. It's massive, a real roller-coaster and one of the reasons I love riding at Cadwell:



There were a few showers in the late morning and just after lunch, it really started to rain:



and rain:



and eventually it was wet with a capital 'Wet':



And a giffy because I've been playing with those recently:



Looking forward to Snetterton next month. The new Ohlins rear for BCR will be in and I'm eager to see what difference it makes.

I'm jealous of your bellypan and spools for a rear stand.

[blackduc238]

Took a lot of messing around before I finally got the rear stand to work. No one in the pits will help put it on the stand, they're all too afraid of it. LOL

sticky tires.

Same here. I gave up on spools and made solid footpegs. Then I used my awful welding "skills" to make a crude angle iron stand to prop it up on the pegs. The stand weighs a ton.

Btw have you weighed your R11S? Mine weighs in at 470lbs with about 1/2 tank of fuel.
