Racing Heartbeats: My First Track Day Experience with Michelin at Donington Park

It’s about to get serious! What’s the likelihood of a knee down on one’s very first track day? This is the behind-the-scenes of my very first track day. I swapped the mud for some hard tarmac riding a Kawasaki 650 twin, something super friendly and forgiving, and I was in the capable hands of John McAvoy of Fast Bikes. I’ll talk through my kit, my nerves, and the best bit…. will you get your knee down on your first track day? Watch to find out the answer!

Big thanks to Michelin Motorsport for an epic day on the Power Cup Evo rubber at a No Limits Track Tays at Donington Park UK.

Bring it on! 🤟 oh and did I tell you I was terrified!!??? 😳

Who’s done a track day? What bike did you ride? It’s time for my first!!

This was the hottest day recorded EVER in the UK and I was in leathers…sweaty!

If you’re new to my page – it’s more than just dirt bike riding and racing, I’m on a mission to prove that nothing is impossible if you want it bad enough. See more about my story plus read about my life changing accident, which started it all.
