Had been giving it plenty on the motorbike all morning, when I got a bit over excited. Gave it too much approaching a bend and found myself with a corner I was never going to get round. Stood her up, applied as much break as I could (was wet so braking wasn't as effective as in the dry) and went off the tarmac.
Nothing too much to worry about but slowed down a bit after that. Got the chicken strips down, definitely burnt some rubber too. Best of all, thrashing the sh*t out of your wheels without a copper is sight :-)
Snetterton may be getting a visit soon!

When you say 'Snetterton may be getting a visit soon' does that mean your brakes failed at Thruxton and you're currently on your way to Snetterton? |  | | |

Local to me then - I'm only a few miles away. Have done some laps there in a Lotus Exige, but not on my (or any) motorbike. |  | | |

Need a track bike if I get into track days, but that's an expensive hobby.

You're a braver man than me, for the long haul ride, and the track day. | | | |

We went down Monday night so were fresh yesterday. Few stopped last night too. Snetterton definitely more accessable from here. | |

Thruxton is a quick circuit, good fun.
Snetterton is nice now since all the work, the full 300 circuit is decent.
Best circuit for bikes is Cadwell, closely followed by Brands.
Glad you had a good time. |  | | |
