    you will take some time with your boots da... its not your leathers..... its your boots that is creating this for you.... the first time i was riding with my A-Stars i had to try twice to shit gears on almost every corner..... but trust me you will be better soon.... and a crash AGAIN ???

          Maybe better to expect crash one day or another if trying to go faster...

          Depend our own mistake (bad trajectory, got scary and doing bad things, too much pressure in tire )
          Depend also mistake from other people .... (other racer, people who walk on the track ....)
          Depend also from bad track condition (sand, stone, oil... )
          Depend also from animals ... (last time one big lezard was dead on the exit of C12...., )

          That why safety gear should be compulsory ...

          That why need to buy some spare part in advance ... and need to come by truck... like that can continue to practice if minor crash, and can come back to home if bigger crash ...

                    I'll be leaving b'lore typically at 4:00am with a target of reaching MMST at 7:30am with an average speed of 100kmph(true)

                      ^ I would suggest you guys to leave a day before (saturday) to enjoy the track day to the fullest. It would be too taxing to cover the up and down and then the track riding in one single day. I have done close to 900kms in one single day and its not that pleasing if you know what I mean.

                            ^I don't mind sleeping on the track provided the weather is like in France ..
                            Also our track is not just a track, its also a reptile sanctuary.

                            I could find a few rare type dinosaur breed - lizards and glossy black snakes, we might end up being dinner for them

                                Bro.... did i ever tell you "The Tale of the Snake who stood for 3 laps" ???.....
                                MY second track day, i see a black snake at the apex of the chicane before the bridge, i miss it by an inch and went... i figured i saw a snake only while taking the final corner....
                                i came back for the second lap, he was on the right hand side, standing tall and looking at me.... i came back again for the second lap, he was still there and he looked at me still standing tall.... the third lap this happened again.... this is the tale of the snake who stood for three laps..... all three laps we used to glance at each other.... it was not a big thing then, but when i think about it, gives me a funny feeling.... lol !!!


                                there will be people sleeping at the tracks, so there is less (50%) harm if you sleep in the pit lane and not in the paddock lane.... let me know if you guys are coming down to spend the night at the track... will join you guys....


                                @all :
                                Lets make this happen.... if you guys want it, i will organise things for you, another big xbhp track da ??? how many people are in ???

                                @red :
                                Bro there are a few hotels near the track which provide cheap accommodation.... will get to details on that.... read my blog if you want any more details about cost involved.... but the night stay at the track sounds good.....
