[Wideboy]

[phil24_7]

I can get ya 10% with focused events and 10% with no limits, is this event with either of these?

But make sure you shave them first or they might add on...

[metalhead19]

Any updates on track/date/WB hopeful discount?

[Mej]

im def game depending on when you go, really want to take my bike to the track.

I will be in a sling until August though so depends on when you decide to do it.

[metalhead19]

Think general idea was for after the AR, so will be some time after the end of August.

[gruntygiggles]

Like it Phil ;-)

[phil24_7]

I like it too, but I thinkl I may have confused myself! :D

Was a price for this mentioned?

[gruntygiggles]

It's normally £125 for the day, but I'll see what Gav wants to do as he or I was going to ask them about a discount.

[Wideboy]

well sometimes a business will give you a discount if you book in mass... e.i. "oh me and (x number) of my friends were thinking of doing a trackday here seeing as we're all booking any chance of a discount?". Doubt you'll get much off but its better than nothing

[phil24_7]

Try the old..."Were off a forum and wish to do a track day. Would you be prepared to offer our forum members a discount?"

This is how I sorted 10% with No Limits and Focused Events

Exitement ensues

[Mej]

[Wideboy]

I have rung 3 times and it got no answer just rung untill answer phone so i sent an email explaining with my name, number ect but got nothing back

[metalhead19]

Am gna guess it will get sorted after the AR

[metalhead19]

Ok that's just bad timing. Lol
Hopefully they'll get back to you

[Wideboy]

Well it was about about a month ago, maybe more i cant remember. i'll have another go this afternoon

[TazDaz]

Come to Cadwell with me at the end of Sept! :)

[Wideboy]

[allantheboss]

[metalhead19]

I've just gotta go pick up my RC8 before the trackday

So your getting mine too while your at it?!

[Talan]

Hi, just saw the thread, I'm going to Castle Combe on 1st Sep too. Will have the SV up and ready, as it's a few days before the New Era race there (4th Sep).

Bike is black with thick white stripe and edged with gold stripes running down the top of the length of the bike. I'm normally parked in the pit lane, as I launch and recover there.

Might also have my first 'pupil' there as am aiming to teach paralysed riders how to get back on a bike, but waiting for the guy to get back to me.

Please come and say hi as I've only met a few from the site before. Cheers, Talan.

Hey Tal

Great to hear you have your first pupil. Like i said before, give me a shout if you need a hand with anything. I think the plan you have is pretty awesome

Rai x

[Wideboy]

amanda's beloved said that the sv would be to noisy which i thought was rubbish and acording to the website aparently they claim the standard sv wont pass their noise regs as would gsxr's ect

[metalhead19]

standard sv wont pass their noise regs

That has to be crap, the bugs splatted on my visor make more noise than a standard SV can.

[Talan]

That has to be crap, the bugs splatted on my visor make more noise than a standard SV can.

I ran my SV SK5 with a Beowolf end can, which initially was 106.8db, then put a db killer in it and it went down to 93db! Therefore, I'm thinking that a standard can should be fine and I have run mine there with no problems in the past.

[Wideboy]

oh they've taken the sv off the list it was on there :confused:

i'm sending off another email to enquire aboot stuff so i'll update when i get a reply

[metalangel]

After sittting at the back of the pack for the AR I wonder if I should do this too... I need leathers though.

[Wideboy]

safer to ride fast on a track than on the road, well IMO it is, plus you'll learn a fair bit

[Wideboy]

huzzah i got a reply!!

i said that i had roughly 10 people wanting to attend and was told that the spaces where there and filling up fast (but this is business talk remember :rolleyes:). Doesn't look like a discount is on the cards :(. I also asked about 2 people bike sharing, they said it was fine the bike would be split into two different groups but again didn't say about price :rolleyes: so im guessing both would have to pay full beens. I get the impression they don't want to give me much information :scratch:......

[gruntygiggles]

I'll pop down there if you want tomorrow morning with Nicolalalalala!

[Wideboy]

yes plez x

your awesome

[gruntygiggles]

No...you are!

[metalhead19]

How was the trip down to Combe GG?

[gruntygiggles]

Not been yet....will go when me and Nic walk the dogs, but she's having a shower first!

[metalhead19]

klkl. Theres no rush, ive just moved on from being over excited about the AR to this :smt041

[Milky Bar Kid]

OK, me n Chezzah when to Castle Coombe today and Chez spoke to some lady behind the desk. She said there would be no group discount and that it is £125 per bike. If two people are sharing then they share the session time aswell.

[Wideboy]

that was the bird i spoke to, emma or something cant remember now

[Milky Bar Kid]

I dunno, she was blonde and couldn't make eye contact with us...

[Wideboy]

im not surprised ...........


;)

[gruntygiggles]

I dunno, she was blonde and couldn't make eye contact with us...


You shouldn't mock the afflicted...













Unless I am online too! :cool:

[Milky Bar Kid]

You are the afflicted...

[gruntygiggles]

HEY, at least I can look at you when I am talking to you, not look in two different directions!

[neio79]

what is the date for this?? cant be bothered to read all 17 pages :lol:

[Wideboy]

wed the 1st if everyone still wants in

[metalhead19]

Im still up for it. Shame about not getting a discount though.
What do people think about track day insurance? A must have or not?

[Nick_69]

[Wideboy]

Well before anyone books, does anyone want to do the next one seeing as numbers has dropped? plus its the porlock weekend, some may not be able to do both?

[Nick_69]

I was going to book later today

[Wideboy]

I'd hang on to see what people want to do, im 50/50 as i will have to pull a sicky and i've got some supercoarser scubs to go on as im running bt021's, but with prolock i wont have time to fit them

[metalhead19]

[Nick_69]

[metalhead19]

All booked now just waiting to see anyone eles is going to book

[Nick_69]

Will book tomorrow. Did it give any indication as to how booked up it already is?

I no there are differently places left

[allantheboss]

Too expensive for me, I just booked a holiday too... I'll wait till I'm well rich and own my own track. And I'll invite you all

[phil24_7]

How many sessions do you get on track and how long is each session?

[Wideboy]

Castle Combe Circuit bike track days are days when you can ride your motorbike as the designers intended it to be ridden, legally! The day starts with a detailed safety briefing, after which you will be taken on a session of sighting laps, following one of our instructors. The day runs from 9am-5pm, there is a lunch break from 12:30-1:30pm. All riders will need to be at the circuit for 8am, to complete the on day administration, sound check and attend the compulsory safety briefing. There is a maximum of 12 motorcycles permitted on the circuit at any time.
thats all i got.

i thought i read they were 20 min session but i cant remember for how long....... wouldn't take my word for it tho

[metalhead19]

Think they are 20 min sessions, with 3 groups. So you get 20 mins an hr on track, unless they start open pit lane. That is what they used to do for cars (on busy days so if its quiet may be different) but may different for bike days

[phil24_7]

That how most track days operate, but most have more than 12 bikes on track at once, so can't see how they'd be able to have less in each group but have the same amount of groups and track time, without jacking the price up a fair bit?!

[metalhead19]

Maybe smaller numbers allowed to book up?

[Nick_69]

It says in the site that only 12 on the track at one time so that's gd and if it's less than that they mite make it an open pit lane

[metalhead19]

Im booked. So we can live in hope for open pit lane

[Nick_69]

Yea we can hope, im going to see if my bikes passes the noise test this afternoon by using the decibel app on my phone

[metalangel]

Decided I'll do this at the start of next year, spent waaaaay too much money in the last month or two (including insurance) that can't really afford leathers + trackday right now. Have fun guys.

[gruntygiggles]

I'll probably come along with the camera and take pics of y'all...or whoever is going to be there and then you're all more than welcome back to mine and Dans for a pitstop before riding off home :-)

[Nick_69]

Thanks sounds like a good offer
