    Portimao is Awsome!

    I just got back yesterday from three days riding the Autodromo do Algarve in Portugal. It is hands down the BEST track I have ever ridden. If you have anyway to do a track day there it is worth every penny.
    Just make sure to spend at least two days riding it or you will not really get to enjoy how fun it is.

    Watching the WSB race this weekend will have a whole new meaning to me now.

    Re: Portimao is Awsome!

    Ahh all the love!!!

    Seriously, here is the Track day company I went with.
    http://www.nolimitstrackdays.com/aca...ck_Events.html

    Well run and a great bunch of guys. I would highly recommend them for any of the European and UK tracks. You could rent a bike and then just fly over and show up and ride. My rental R6 (yes I rode an R6) was ready to go, new race tyres, suspension tweeked, GPshift as requested, front & rear stands, rains, tyre warmers, extension cord and box, spare brake pads, levers and shift linkage etc. Basically I showed up and got to beat the snot out of someone elses bike for three days

    If anyone wants more info I can try and help.

    What was the dent toll on that setup? I'm in Setubal, Portugal at least 4 times a year. How tempting is this???

    It knocked me for £180/day plus £350 deposit for damage. No damage so deposit returned.

    Considering the tyres were shot after 288 miles of beating on the track, that is a good deal.
