TY's nostalgia

Post by ty »

Just going through some old photos and thought I might post some up.
No - I'm not looking for sympathy or pity ;) just feel like posting them up to bump some memories.

There's also proof here that you can take a clapped out GPX250, or a heavy ZZR600, out to EC and still have a ball.
Enjoy ;)

First ever track day - Dec '02

If you have no fear, you're not going fast enough.
Never argue with an idiot. He'll drag you down to his level, then beat you with experience.

Having the mirrors tucked in would have saved seconds off your lap time. Right?? :D

Dec 02, and Feb 03 were the GPX with jeans - that was before ASBS got their monopoly and MotoConcepts were running days. They let you out in jeans in the slow group - you needed jacket gloves, boots and helmet of course though.
And yes - the red 9 was my favourite ;)

Tucking the mirrors in did help dutch ;) removing them off the GPX was even better :D

Yes many seconds, Ty when the centre stand digs in I bet its not a barrel of laughs :lol:
& pinchy in the early days it was pretty much unheard of going out & buying a set of leathers unless you were planing on racing, there was little choice & it was bloody expensive for a 1 piece, & from memory most of the 2 piece sets did not zip together :lol:

No the centre stand wasn't much fun :shock:
The GPX dug in regularly around turn 2 - had a nice little back end slide/bounce once that had a marshal out of his box.
The ZZR's dug in on turns 2 and 9 - but only if I wasn't hanging off enough ;)
I learnt to hang off.
