I had one of those days today. You know the one; it was that one when you're sat behind some hideous car that's belching out acrid diesel fumes on the way home and all you can think is 'I should have taken the bike'.
The forecast was okay and as I was only working two days this week, I was okay with taking the car to work this morning. It didn't help that I woke with a headache, which took half the morning to clear. Despite this, I still wished I'd taken the bike as the day turned out sunny, clear and reasonably warm. How annoying!
To make up for my lack of two wheel action, I booked myself onto the first of the four levels at the California Superbike School in May up at Silverstone. I've been wanting the do the courses for several years now, but funds had been against me beforehand. Not now, now I've made a point to spend the money as I know I'll get a lot out of it.
Last year I didn't get on track at all and I made a promise to myself to avenge that particular error as soon as I could. I'll be using the FireBlade and will need to hire a van to get me to Northamptonshire. To say I'm looking forward to it, is an understatement.
