That makes me want to sell body parts!!
Metal Rock Am Ring?

Few laps aswel?

[metalhead19]

Think they will be doing a separate headlining tour anyway, which will be cheaper and possibly better.
Thinking about it, its probably a good thing they have redone donington, the first year i went it was on part of the track and it must have gotten ruined

[andrewsmith]

Donny was a state.

There is a Vid by Nicklaus from MCN somewhere on there website showing the state it was in!

See what happens as Scars on Broadway seems to have been a 1 album job

[metalhead19]

yeh, i said pictures a while back. Tracks back open again now though isnt it?

[andrewsmith]

yep got a British Racing Licence. Still working on the International licence.

[metalhead19]

Awesome, tis one of the tracks i want to do at some point, even though it is so far away

[andrewsmith]

your closer than me or Daz

[metalhead19]

aha this is true. Still dont think I could do it in one day even if i did have a trailer

[DarrenSV650S]

It would be cool. Must be scary though. It's such a huge circuit and there's no way you'd ever learn it

[metalhead19]

I thought it was brilliant in a car, but dno about a bike

[Holdup]

going on track on a bike is mega fun :D

[metalhead19]

going on track on a bike is mega fun :D
yep :D only done Combe but going to do more next year

[andrewsmith]

Its a fast flowing circuit so thats a advantage.

I can't wait to find out if the RAF Leeming TD is on next year. I'm only doing one its going to there

[Holdup]

yep :D only done Combe but going to do more next year

Ive only done silverstone southern circuit with ron haslam race school, want to go back next year and go out on the blade, really want to do brands hatch, work do a few track sessions at brands but no way am i taking my own bike round

[metalhead19]

Your job will give you a blade to take on track?! :o
Have heard brands is good, so gna try and do that, but want to do the GP circuit.

[andrewsmith]

Woman!!! thats what R&G's are for!

I wouldn't mind doing East Fortune, but you need a ACU licence to go there.
Croft is a pig to get booked on
and i don't fancy a 200 mile ride to get to a track

[Holdup]

I wish

im saving up to go out on the blade at ron haslam race school for next year

work will prob let me out on the blade on the road

and the new 2011 bikes :D:D

pah need more than that, need a great big airbag to go round the bike as well

[andrewsmith]

Go to Cadwell HU you'd die.

There is bikes regularly going home in bin bags, and it the org consensus seems to be take the crash bobbins off

[metalhead19]

and the new 2011 bikes :D:D

:o Give me a job?!?!

[metalhead19]

Go to Cadwell HU you'd die.

Cadwell in a car was fantastic, cant image how tough it must be on a bike though

[andrewsmith]

Interesting as it was described by a few people i know that have done it.

Wouldn't mind doing Oulton Park its meant to be an epic on the full circuit

[Holdup]

never tracking my own bike

unless i buy a crappy old thing to track

[andrewsmith]

a SV Minitwin?

[metalhead19]

never tracking my own bike

unless i buy a crappy old thing to track

Why not?

[Holdup]

SV, CBR600F, had a FZR400 which got broke :( but i just dont want to take my lovely bike on track, if i had the money id find myself something now but will be a couple of years yet metinks

[metalhead19]

Ah thats fair enough. Simple solution though....dont bin it :p

[metalhead19]

I really enjoyed my SV on track though, however i cant afford to rent a bike so dont really have a choice. But thats fine by me :D

[andrewsmith]

I have no worries about taking my SV on the track as I know what my set-up and tires will do.
Just need some leathers suitable gloves and boots and R+G's for the bike

and some mates up for one

[Holdup]

easy to say, not so easy to do, felt like i almost binned the 600RR at silverstone

[metalhead19]

easy to say, not so easy to do, felt like i almost binned the 600RR at silverstone

This is very true. However does depend on how hard your pushing it. And on the RR it wasnt your bike, you hadnt ridden it before and got to know it ect.

Anyways, im gna go make me a bacon sandwich. See you folks later

[andrewsmith]

laters Metal

It's different if your jumping of a 33 brake sv onto a 130bhp screaming 600.
I would be tentative with a bike i've never ridden.

The IAM group I'm affiliated to use 5000 miles as a rule of thumb to get the true feel for a bike.

[DarrenSV650S]

ketchup on mine cheers

[andrewsmith]

fried egg, black pud and tattie scone on mine!


Pepper and ketchup tooo :smt040

[Holdup]

later metal

i done one session was out on second and the instructors were telling / teaching me to get my knee down, from the pics i got i prob wasnt that far over when it felt like i almost stacked it but i scraped my toe slider and didnt expect it, i think thats what it was mainly

[andrewsmith]

thats disconcerting HU, then i'm boot down before peg down.

I need rearsets tbh

[Holdup]

depends on position of foot, on my sv i used to have middle of foot on peg and was always scraping now ive started putting my toes on the pegs and same when i was on track day, so think thats what got me different position so wasnt expecting

[andrewsmith]

dsa flatfoot posistion i scrape.

Toes on peg i deck out and that is efffffffing terrifying

[Holdup]

lol

i just wanna ride my bike last time was only a week ago but seems like ages and i think ive forgotten how to :(

[andrewsmith]

it aint bothered TBH as mine needing a bit of work and a new tire

[Bibio]

evnin organs.

[Holdup]

i need new tyres, again next year :rolleyes: front has 1.6mm and both are crappy b'stones

Hey Bibio

any way, night all :smt006

[Bibio]

The IAM group I'm affiliated to use 5000 miles as a rule of thumb to get the true feel for a bike.

then they are all feckin plonkers who dont know how to ride. you should have a feel for a bike in under 100 miles if you cant then you shouldn't be riding.

[Bibio]

night HU. dont bite the doll.

[DarrenSV650S]

Hi bib

[Bibio]

Hi bib

not yet but i feel i should be. now where did i put that stash from the 80's :D

[andrewsmith]

Hi Bib.

I don't subscribe to that theory meself

Night HU

[Bibio]

so if i book an IAM course and they can teach me nothing do i get my money back?

[andrewsmith]

nope! I learned things from it as i had habits which needed sorting.

I rode closer to the police pace on the test than the IAM pace, as that comment was made

[Bibio]

of course you have bad habits you are an individual. driving/riding is mainly about observation the more you take in whats going on ahead and around you the better your driving/riding will develop.

[andrewsmith]

true true

anyway I'm off to bed, trying to not justify buying the M4 system thats for sale

Laters

[Bibio]

night smithypooz. sweet dreams m8 xx

[DarrenSV650S]

[munkygunn182]

Nearly 18 hours, and not a single post. Idle banter needs more vodka to increase convo! It's gone from one of those bars where everyone's getting a good banter, to one of them posh restaurants where no words are said at all! :o

Hardly Policemans ball! It's just a shift night out. My shift and the shift we overlap with are going for a meal and a boogie. Don't think I will be drinking though.
