What a great wee video! That was by far the most honest trackday vid I've ever seen. Everyone else is desperate to be the coolest kid on the circuit in the other vids you see, but I tell you, if I had had sound on mine, you'd hear that you're not the only one going "fuck fuck shit!" every second corner! Sorry you had crappy weather and hopefully you'll be back up to Kirkistown soon on a sunny day.
That looks like a blast. I'd be fucking up on the leans as well and running of that emergency road, or w/e it's called. Lucky with that close call though. Great run *+* 👍
Yeah it was great craic! :) The leans came in time but still ran off that little emergency road 3 times, oh well. Live & Learn! Cheers for watching man :)
Triumphrider Yeah man, I was happy to stay on the bike the 3 times I went off! It was my first time riding on a track & with that bike so I was actually quite happy with my performance overall :) Thanks for the comment as always!
2Up2Down Haha, yeah was €70 quid for the day but after tracking up from Tralee to Dublin & then Dublin to Northern Ireland for my first ever track day there was nothing going to stop me getting on the track Haha!
My first track day was when i was 10 on a 50cc moped, i fell about 5 times and when i was done the moped was broken to the point of no return😂 so in fairness you had a brilliant first track day
At least when you decided to exit the track route you picked a good spot with some tarmac to do it. Fair play lad. You were going well aside from the exits 🖒
Cheers Kaza Whaki! I was happy enough with this being my first ever track day! Live & learn and all that haha :) Would love toy get back for up another shot this year!
Looks very interesting. Don't think I could do it though. I've done similar in cars, and have done some rally courses too, but not sure I could do it on a bike. Fair play.
2:53 what an ass.... That one corner really doesn't want you brother! LOL! First track day... We can safely say you kicked ass my friend!!! Ride safe and Rock ON!!!
Haha yeah I fairly panicked when he cut across in front of me! I should've been able to react quicker though to be fair! Thanks though man, it was a great experience & I'd itching to get out and try another one!!
Practice, practice, practice! All I need now is the time & money to do more track days after the Winter haha! :) Thanks man, I did feel like I improved towards the end of the day!
Braking news they changed the name on that corner to lucks corner lol I cant wait for a track day in mondello once u do one there no stopping they get very additive. When ever we get to meetup again the end of the day u get the knee down on my r1
thought i left a comment on this already! looked like you did really well, its some buzz, you gonna give mondello a go? im definately hitting it this year!
Cheers man, I was happy enough with it being my first run! I'll try get out again this year, I'm pretty sure Mondello are a lot stricter when it comes to helmet cams etc so it'll probably have to be a bike cam!
looks like you were doing around the 1 min 25 sec mark...?.....handy enough for a first time...too much looking to the sides though before you made any moves....trouble with THAT is...you see a rider so you move over..and sometimes THAT means moving over in front of a rider on your other side that you DIDN'T see.....pretty decent cam though..what was it?
scottishyakr Cheers for the feedback! Yeah, it was my first time on a track so I was still doing my shoulder checks like you would on the road out of pure habit. My cousin said the same thing about not doing them on the track, just look ahead at where you’re going, don’t worry about the riders behind you because they’ll overtake when they can. I was using a GoPro Hero 3+ silver. It’s a few years old now but I think the quality is grand!
Yeah the speedo wasn't working, it was my cousin's track day bike, not road legal at all! Has an SV650 engine, aprilla fairings, it's thrown together but solid out!

LOVE track day footage! Looks like so much fun!
Ah man, it was great fun! :) Would highly recommend doing one!
That looks like a blast. I'd be fucking up on the leans as well and running of that emergency road, or w/e it's called. Lucky with that close call though. Great run *+* 👍
Yeah it was great craic! :) The leans came in time but still ran off that little emergency road 3 times, oh well. Live & Learn! Cheers for watching man :)
That looked like great craic Luke, we need a track in Cork.
It was great craic! Yeah it's a shame that we've only got a few tracks in Ireland, it would do some business down in the Munster region.
Hey, you ran off but you stayed upright! Not bad for a first go!
Triumphrider Yeah man, I was happy to stay on the bike the 3 times I went off! It was my first time riding on a track & with that bike so I was actually quite happy with my performance overall :) Thanks for the comment as always!
Wet Track isn't nice, we must go up next summer and hopefully get some nice weather for it ! Looks like a good track
Yeah man for sure, that'd be some craic :)
That was bloody entertaining to watch mate 👌
Just as entertaining to ride on man! Glad you enjoyed it :)
I would in my hole weeks wages do a track day in that rain. Fair play lad!!
2Up2Down Haha, yeah was €70 quid for the day but after tracking up from Tralee to Dublin & then Dublin to Northern Ireland for my first ever track day there was nothing going to stop me getting on the track Haha!

Elgars Bergmanis Haha, you literally rode the moped to death! I was quite happy with how the day went! Can’t wait to try again sometime :)
Lucky Luke Rides theres no other way to ride one😂

Photo Biker Yeah man, interesting to say the least! It’s great fun but things can go wrong so easily! I was quite happy with my first ever day out! :)
2:53 what an ass....
That one corner really doesn't want you brother! LOL!
First track day... We can safely say you kicked ass my friend!!!
Ride safe and Rock ON!!!
Haha yeah I fairly panicked when he cut across in front of me! I should've been able to react quicker though to be fair! Thanks though man, it was a great experience & I'd itching to get out and try another one!!
If you keep practicing, you'll be an expert in no time. Already saw a huge improvement from the first time out to the second.
Practice, practice, practice! All I need now is the time & money to do more track days after the Winter haha! :) Thanks man, I did feel like I improved towards the end of the day!
good man great stuff. would love to get out and do one my self ...
Cheers Brian! Yeah, would highly recommend going out & doing one :)
A tad moist, good effort. You did grand!
Moto Joshing I was happy with it overall! :)
Braking news they changed the name on that corner to lucks corner lol I cant wait for a track day in mondello once u do one there no stopping they get very additive. When ever we get to meetup again the end of the day u get the knee down on my r1
Hahaha, that bastard corner got me 3 times! Oh well, live & learn. Knee down on the R1 sounds like a right laugh :)
Awesome video man. Whats the outro song btw?
Elgars Bergmanis Cheers Elgars! The outro song is “Who Robbed The Hash from the Gaff” (Kyle Meehan Remix)

And the gear as well
Is the Speedo not workin on the bike? Can see the revs just below it is a 0 all the time
Yeah the speedo wasn't working, it was my cousin's track day bike, not road legal at all! Has an SV650 engine, aprilla fairings, it's thrown together but solid out!
