New Team mates Leon and Cal Crutchlow took part in Honda's well known Driving week.
Honda use the yearly event for the uk's top Journalists and Media to come and test drive the new cars and bikes Honda have launched for that year, as well as getting a chance to test some old favourites. This year Leon and Cal journeyed to Brands Hatch Circuit to help and guide wherever possible, taking whoever was willing round the circuit.
It was a great opportunity for the lads to get a bit of track time on the new Fireblade as they Test their new race bikes in a couple of weeks in Almeria.
The other bikes for them to try included the CBR600RR, the XK700V Transalp, the CBF600/ CBF600S, the STI300 Pan European, the VT750C Shadow and not forgetting the little Zoomer which the lads will be using as their paddock scooters this season.
To top the day off for them as if there was not enough bikes to satisfy their need the last track session of the day was taken up by them testing the new S2000 Sports car. I promise there was not a doughnut or burnout in sight.
