Well Craig, the main thing at any track day is you and bike leaving at the end of the day in the same condition you arrived, and having a good time through the day. Sounds like you achieved all that.
I was at Mallory Park yesterday, the weather was hot & sunny and could well have been the best day of the year so far, just like mid-summer in the UK. It was my first outing on road or track since Sept, 7 months ago!
For one of my sessions, I didn't get the tire warmers on early enough and went out on luke warm slicks. First lap, going steady but the rear still slid out, off the throttle, turning into the chicane.
Overall both bikes (MC21 & NXA) ran really well, yep having a dedicated track bike and the SP safely tucked up in the garage is a nice option when its possible, but respect to guys with one tidy / special road bike who give it a good thrash on a track day.
