    OK, less than 24 hrs to go before my first time on a track. Any advice
    on the track - approaches to bends, suggested gears [1] etc.

    [1] The good news is that I will not be on my own bike and am
    intending to thrash the life out of it [2].
    [2] The bad news is that I'll be riding a Buell. Let's hope it doesn't
    break down.

    Looks like a high/lowside (depending on whether the rear finds grip
    again) waiting to happen.

    I went backwards instead of forwards.

    That's all very well, but what about Mallory, which is the track the
    OP is going to?

    But you looked cool doing it and that's what counts.

    You either ride a slow as **** bike or you're not very good at course
    recognition.
