Cadwell Park

[EvanDavis]

I am a huge bike fan, ridden since i was 4 when me da bought me a yamaha YZ 125. But soon changed to road riding. Last weekend I went to watch British Superbikes at Cadwell park. Spent the eekend camping with the missus and her daughter. Good fun was had all weekend, decent bike racing until Sunday, which was marred with the death of Ben Gautrey. Sadly happened right in front of me

Anyway here are a few pics I took. Please excuse quality, they were took with me iCrap. Have a few videos I will upload to Photobucket soon.

Practise starting

New shikane before the mountain


Oh might add, on Friday before going to BSB we went to see the HM Plant team in Grimsby and the missus won two weekend tickets. Wish she had done it before I shlled out in the first place

I love the Harley My last bike was a Honda 550 some 20 years ago, I suddenly realised that people on four wheels did not see bikes no matter if you had you lights on and wore hi visibility clothing, they just don't see you and it hurts when you come off and the bones are brittle when you get to my age so I gave up. Pictures are great Evan post some more please

I love the Harley

For what it stands for yes I lov it to, but as Harleys go, no thanks

I have always wanted to do Route 66 on a Harley, I know, I know they don't go round corners just like US cars but one cannot say no to the romantic call of Route 66, but the wife wont come with me so it is just a dream.

Very brave, So many stories of TL's been death traps. My current rides are a 2008 R6, and in the process of building an RGV 500 (RGV 250 frame with RG 500 engine ) Yes was a bit wet and windy, Had just got tent pitched on Saturday and the rain came down. THankfully had beer and missus to keep me entertained for a few hours

Nice pics, i was watching the BSB on Eurosport when it happened... Sad times.

Cant help but think the bikes are getting too fast for Cadwell now... the mountain is deadly......

We often go to Silverstone for the shootout round, but brother cant get time off work this year... We got soaked last year! lol

Had the aftermarket damper fitted and that sorted any problems, I rode it for just over 2 years and never had a problem.. Used to love making Porsche and Ferrari drivers look silly when I left them in my dust..

I loved the RG500 it was for lobotomy cases only.. which is probably why I liked it so much.
