Hello Kitty Racing @ Ecuyers, july 2012
The Circuit des Ecuyers has become a more than yearly tradition for me and my trackday friends. I went in May this year and just booked again for late August. We went two weeks ago, and here's the results! ![]() The riders: - Yamaha YZF 750R (me, #58) - Suzuki GSX-R 750 - Kawasaki Z1000 - Ducati 749 - Yamaha R1 We had another pal going with us, but he's keen on privacy so he's not shown. We got ourselves a tent now, which is really nice when you're relaxing between sessions. The weather was absolutely terrific for both days of the weekend, so I had an awesome time with the YZF! ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() First three minutes are lining up, then five minutes of this bike following my slow ass around, the rest is the GSX-R750 on its own blasting along Ecuyers. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() There's no timekeeping for most of these weekends, so it's just... Enjoy, have fun, and we did! ![]() |

Ever since we started track riding, we've barely ridden on public roads together anymore... So yeah, on public roads, motorcycles carry inherent risk, but on a circuit it's all the fun of pushing to the limit, without any of the risks that come with public roads. Such a different world... Which reminds me—I need to check the tension on my chain. /instant paranoia/ ![]() |

Even on a track you can still throw a chain, blow a tire, run over a large rodent that appears out of nowhere, etc. The only substantial risk that's fully removed is encounters with automobiles. ![]() I mean the whole flurry of stuff like cars, cyclists, pedestrians, animals (no, they will not march onto a track where 40 bikes are racing), people coming from the left or right, oncoming traffic, traffic lights, traffic jams, dirty roads, no run-off areas, lightposts, sidewalks... They're all gone. You can still crash and hurt yourself, it's still dangerous, but at least on track you'll crash in peace. ![]() Basically, this: |
