Anyone on here do trackdays?

Myself and a few mates have been to a few different circuits now. Going to Oulton Park on 1st June and Knockhill with Rizla Suzuki on 19th June.

I've only done seven and have found them pretty adictive. To date we've done Silverstone, Donington, Cadwell and Knockhill.

If anyone has been to Oulton a few pointers would be appreciated.

I've got the wrong sort of bike but I'd be a little cautious about taking any bike around a track just in case I put it on it's side. Shocked

I'd love to do it though and perhaps if the GS wasn't my only bike I'd like to take it around the track just to see how it performs but if I did put it down the repair costs would be a real dampner. Similar reason that I've never taken it off road though the GS forums advertise some great routes with some superb off road sections. Confused

It's a shame that you couldn't rent a good track bike at Knockhill to do some training. Focused Events (http://www.focusedevents.com) hire bikes for track days down south but as far as I'm aware there's nothing like that available up here?
