Re: Cadwell trackday
Great pics mate! I love Caddy too - I've been 4 times this year already and have another 2 booked in September and poss 2 more in October!! The 400's love it as you say, and some guys hate it when I fly past them in the corners, especially being a girlie!! Bet your missus gets that too?!!

Oh yes, one of the guys was gutted when I told him that her NC35 was standard as she came 'flying' past him. :D
She says its fun embarrassing boys.

Re: Cadwell trackday
Yeah, yellow/red NC35#1 is ours, black one is the Slick Bass prepped NC30.
It's nice, very nice but the front just doesn't feel as 'planted' as NC35#1 and doesn't tip in as quick.
For example at coppice even though it's a road bike on road tyres (the NC30 was on race intermediates) I felt confident to just tip in, trying the same on the NC30 and there was just a hint of chatter. Which at 120mph[1] is a bit scary!
Back off just before and it's fine.
Our track NC35#2 was also ace although it's not (yet) as good handling as the road bike, some work to do on that.

Some onboard footage, shot from the bike (FZR400) that started out immediately behind my wife on NC35#1 in the medium group.
