When I got my superduke a few weeks back I had to get it on track, last time on a superduke on track was Spa Francorchamp in 2008 on my SDR, not done many trackdays in recent years and stopped racing so earlier this year on my then new to me CBR600 I did Rockingham, the CBR was to be a big change after ten or so years racing,riding and trackdaying big twins. I booked inters and the CBR was prepped, I won't dwell on Rockingham and the CBR as I hated it, I didn't know if it was me being rusty or the bike not suiting me, I was quite disappointed in me and the bike although I had a good time.
So the donington day couldn't come any quicker for me and the superduke, I'd already ridden it a fair bit on the road and had my knee down, something I failed with on the CBR on track ! I fitted some new racetecs and set the suspension to track settings, I also changed the brake fluid. An old racing mate on his 848 came with me and again we booked inters, not sure why but fast had 20 or so national racers practising so probably a wise move

Sounds like you had fun mate, can't wait to track my "new to me" SDR. Got Cadwell booked later this month and already booked for the crashfest in July. Plans are to do Donington and Oulton this year as well.
