British Superbike Championship-Snetterton Test (Day 3)

After waking at the ridiculous time of 5:30am on a Sunday, i made the 230+ mile trip to the windswept place otherwise known as Snetterton near Norwich...

After 2 days of typical early British Spring weather (aka colder than an Eskimo's nipple) the gods smiled upon us, delivering harsh sunshine and a nice North-Easterly breeze, which means T-shirts and shorts for us Northern types and full Ski attire for the Shandy drinking Southern Jessies.

Anyway, enough of this rubbish, on with the show.

I arrived to be greeted by the nasal whining of the 125cc bikes...

Great shots Geoff, #6 with the wheel up my favourite

Cracking shots Geoff . Its a shame Shakey got the boot from Rizla Susuki.

Nice work mate, looked positively tropical.

I might do some more bike stuff this year myself.

I couldn't really miss that shot as the bikes always lift the front when putting the power down there. The "Head down" just gave that shot something different

I hadn't realised he'd got the elbow. Imagine my confusion when a Stobart Honda appeared with #67 on it.... You'll be needing a new jacket now Kev

Avoid the BSB race days unless you're in the mood to punish yourself. It makes the BTCC look quiet..There must have been 5 bikes to every car at Snet yesterday and that's just for a test in March !

I was feeling a bit bored...new job and pay rise helps with the travelling costs too

Thanks for the comments everyone

Great shots, i went on saturday and was utterly gutted with the weather so i went home in a sulk!
Really like the last shot

woww ...Great shots ... i was wondering if my f4 can do that kind of shots ... guess i need a tc..

Lovely stuff indeed. Particularly like the two Stobart shots with the wheel up - very nice

Love no6 Shakey Byrne pan

Ah,it is getting to be that time of year again. Great shots - glad the weather decided to play nice with ya. Good job, well done.

Great shots GSH, the panning shot is my fav, I was at Snetterton the weekend before, CAMPING and boy was it cold, we had snow, high FREEZING blustery winds, hail and no sun, a 4hr drive there and a 5 and half hr drive back, but it was all worth it, it was a bike meeting.

I wouldn't fancy camping there in Summer never mind in March. Are you a bit mad?


Thanks for the additional comments everyone

Love these, Geoff!
