So, for those of us for whom the West leads to the Irish Sea (or the Atlantic, if we have any Irish compadres out there) what about some sharing on trackdays.
I am sadly a trackday virgin, having only ever thought about it. Next year I want to change that, but don't really want to waste the money on something unsuitable to my experience level. While European trackdays look great they would probably be a little too far advanced for a first time, so I'm looking for something in the UK.
A couple of questions spring to mind: First, what about insurance? I'm pretty sure (without checking the policy doc) that I wouldn't be covered if I smashed my beautiful 'S to pulp - am I right? So does one arrange a special insurance policy for the day, and with who (or is that whom? Being a European forum we'd best stick to the Queen's English!) Or is it best to stick with schools that provide bikes for the day, like Haslam?
Second: I don't own leathers (yet) - are they a prerequisite? I'll need most of Autumn, Wnter and Spring to persuade the SO to allow the purchase ... or can they be hired?
Lots of other questions bubbling under, but that will (hopefully) get the ball rolling.
