Track day south west

[g13unisol]

Hi all
Anyone planing on doing a track day at castle combe I go quite oftern would be nice to get a load of us so we could lock out a group (12 in group).

[metalhead19]

I would be up for this depending on date/funds

[g13unisol]

I was looking at end of April/may time as I am away for a while. Castle Combe cost £125 for the day they are really strict on noise level, you can check that out on their website. It is the only track I have been too they are really friendly and helpful.

[metalhead19]

Have been to combe before, it is a good track, they may be strict on noise on the public but the marshals bikes they didnt care about. Had a marshal on an R1 with un baffled aprovic cans on track, yet my bike with the baffles in was at 102db.
I am doing silverstone (hopefully) towards the end of april so will see how it fits in around then.

this basically :lol:, i was still up for it but not many people would say for definite if they would go and my work picked up so i couldn't get any time off let alone a weekday so i forgot about it

if im given long enough notice i should be able to do a Wednesday, but you never know, i'd be taking the thunderace as i can just under 3 bolts for the zorst rather than pee about with the SV, plus i'd probably cry if i dropped the curvy :lol:

Was a good day, except for the journey home lol

[metalhead19]

Fixed it for you;)

Yeah was a very good day. Sucks about your ride home though.
The trip there wasnt exactly incident free though either, within 2 miles of joining the M4 see an undercover car, lights on, flying towards the opposite direction. Kinda set the tone for the M4.

Please don't agree with me ever again

As much as I like putting the sv through its paces I wont be taking it so I'll take the thunderace

[metalhead19]

That should be easy enough :p

As much as I like putting the sv through its paces I wont be taking it so I'll take the thunderace

Is that because you now prefer the thunderace or you just dont want to risk throwing the SV down the track?

[Wideboy]

don't want to throw it into the gravel and have to cry

[metalhead19]

Thats fair enough, would feel the same if had spent the same kinda money/effort on the bike as you have

[Wideboy]

well that and the fact that sod's law will make it rain :lol:,

i'll book the day off work on monday when i take this weeks paper work in

[metalhead19]

Looks like this day is gna be popular for the SV lot then.
