Here's a couple of sessions (3 laps and then 2 laps) from a track day at Castle Combe, Wiltshire on my Honda VFR1200X Crosstourer.
It was a bright, but cold and damp (in some places very wet!) March day. This was just after the UK had some significant snow which you can see the remains of track side!
This was my second time at Castle Combe. The first session is shot with a traditional camera angle, low down from the front. The second session has the camera mounted high on the left at the back looking forward.
It was great to ride a different bike round here and I learnt lots about the handling of the Crosstourer. Was particularly impressed with the grip in the conditions from 80:20 Battlewing tyres! I had a lot of fun and I came home with me and the bike in one piece.
Castle Combe is a nice little track and perfect for learning your bike's capabilities and improving your cornering and braking.
Here's a link to my previous day on my CBR650F

Omg is that sow . Don’t no u guys got that much snow in England. Nice leathers . Well done very nice ride. I wish I had nearby access to track days or even rider improvement . I do my rider improvement via video and reading. N videos they instruct on track setup for slow speed maneuvers etc. I think the Brits r superior street riders due to accessibility to rider improvement & track days . Americans Australians r better in the dirt I feel because of our massive undeveloped areas to ride in those places . Just thinking . Great video really enjoyable .

Yes the weather was interesting! The guys at Castle Combe did a great job in clearing the track and it was nice and dry in most places. Track days are great for improving your riding - you can get to know the limits of your bike in a safer environment than on the road and it gives you confidence to know just how hard you can brake and how much lean you can use in a corner so if you get it wrong on the road you know the bike is far more capable than you as a rider!

I know, luckily didn't spoil the day and still had a good blast. Thanks for watching.

Nice video! What kind of speeds were you making, and were you on standard road tyres? Cheers Tony

Don't know exactly as was spending my time looking at the track not my speedo! I do recall seeing about 115mph once on the Avon Rise just before Folly. For me track days are about smoothness and making a lap flow rather than outright speed. Thanks for watching.

Tyres were the OEM as supplied on the bike from new. Bridgestone Battlewing tyres. So roughly an 80:20 road:off road type tyre

Looks good. Was that on a TVAM track day?

Indeed it was. Great day. You can have confidence in the other riders, that they're not going to do anything daft and only 12 or so bikes on track at any time.

Missed out on that one but next time. Just been on my first trip to Wales with CLAMS. It was absolutely brilliant and a great group of people.
