Product Description
Product Description
If riding a bike is fun then riding it on the track is infinitely more! But to get the most out of a day on the track you need to know what to expect and how to cope with what can be a confusing but absolutely fantastic day out. This book is aimed at the newcomer to track days and takes him or her through the basics in a light hearted but thorough way. There is plenty of detail on how to get cornering speeds up, what s safe and what s not, the do and don t s of the track and of course a complete guide to all the turns on all the tracks and the companies that run the trackdays. Absolutely fascinating and a great guide for anyone contemplating taking a bike on a racetrack whether it a modern powerful sports bike, a small lightweight machine or even a classic! Contents: Introduction; Preparation; Trackday organizers; Rules and Regulations; On the day; On the track; Riding on the track; Advanced techniques; When it all goes wrong; Circuit guide to Thruxton, Cstle Combe, Brands Hatch, Lydden, Rockingham, Silverstone, Donington Park, Mallory Park, Snetterton, CAdwell Park, Oulton Park, Knockhill; Checklist; Trackday companies.
From the Author
I wrote this book because I saw there was a gap - there are plenty of people who want to try trackdays for all sorts of reasons, but aren't looking to go racing. Until now, all the books about track riding were focussed on going faster and being more competitive rather than having fun and getting the most out of your day. So I decided to fix that.
I don't take anything terribly seriously, least of all things I really enjoy, so although it does have a serious side, this isn't a terribly earnest book. But hopefully you'll find it entertaining as well as informative.
If so, please feel free to tell your friends. If not then tell me and I'll try to do better next time...
Thanks for your interest.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Bloodless way to lose your trackday virginity,
By
This review is from: Motorcycle Trackdays for Virgins: A UK Guide (Paperback)
Sorry, that was a bit tastless, but hey! So many of us are nervous about doing a track day for fear of falling off and damaging ourselves and our gleaming machines. Not only is Trackdays for Virgins full of no nonsense good advice about how to go faster whilst staying safe, it is also a damn good read. The auther is clearly very experienced on the track and his easy going, informative style is very accessable. He takes you from the very basic stuff you need to know to get the most from your first track day through to some seriously advanced stuff for those who aspire to racing.Considering the cost of a track day and how much more fun I get from my time on the track after reading this I cannot recommend this book enough.

A good informative read.,
By
This review is from: Motorcycle Trackdays for Virgins: A UK Guide (Paperback)
I was, somewhat cheekily, recommended this book by the author! As it turns out he knows his stuff and it is a good read with plenty of little tips to settle your mind and nerves before the big day arrives.There is also a handy guide to most (All?) UK tracks, with information about the facilities as well as the track itself.
