Play The Game!

If you have an inkling to have a go on a track day, Knockhill is not too far down the road, and from as little as just £40 a session, there really is no excuse. You are guaranteed to enjoy yourself way beyond your expectations, while developing advanced skills that will prove invaluable in your road craft. Don't worry, set your own pace, and only start to push when you're ready too. You might think you will be intimidated by the quick boys (and girls) but trust me you won't; the atmosphere is always friendly and relaxed, so just remember, everyone was slow once! You'll probably end up getting hooked, and maybe even go on to do some racing, but one thing is for certain, your riding will never be the same again... suddenly the art of motorcycle control will no longer be a mystery, and you will have evolved into a much smoother faster version of you!

Here at PlayBike, we'll be happy to answer any questions or concerns you might have about track riding. Play Fast - Play Safe!

Track Riding - Great Fun, Lots To Learn!

PlayBike's ARSE IXX has been the perfect tool for track antics. After a few visits to Knockhill we were in the 61's and getting quicker all the time. Lobbed it just the once so far, and it was proper... flat out in Railway Bend and the left side of the tyre was still a bit cold - that'll be a 115mph high side then! Man and Machine were a bit beaten up, but nothing that won't fix. Like Toby Moody has often said - 'This Is Motorcycle Racing, Not Basket Weaving!'

Another couple of visits and we're getting round in just under a minute. The bike is still boggo apart from an Akro Exhaust (the Blue Flame was squashed flat!) and an Ohlins Steering Damper which calms the bike over the kerbs at the chicane, and winding it on after the apex at Clark Curve. Done a few English circuits last year, Donington and Silverstone, which were great fun, so we're gonna make a bit more effort to do a few more this year though... If any of you have similar plans, then give us a shout!

Also managed a full day at Phillip Island on a borrowed CBR600. That's a half decent bike, 36°C and the finest motorcycle track in the World - Fantastic!
