Lets do the Knockhill thing again again - SV650.org

northwind · 12-06-06, 10:04 PM

That nearly worked! So close! 2 of us in the same place and everything. Lets try again...

There's a track morning on saturday 24th of this month, £55.

The next evening is Friday the 7th for £40 (which is also a full day £135, or morning or afternoon at £75)

After that, it's Monday the 17th, same mix as Friday the 7th.

Then, another morning on saturday the 5th august for £55.

Then, another set of full/half day and evening on Fri 11th and Mon 28th, with the last track morning so far on September the 30th.

After tonight's fiasco, I fancy doing saturday the 24th. It's quite a lot of track time for the money. I know the saturday ones tend to attract more track bikes and racers, but frankly tonight's evening session was full of them anyway, and it wasn't a problem.

Anyone else?

You're brave! You will be sharing the track with this bunch of nutters. They are a bit fast

- I went up to Oban with them and some of the guys who are going for Novice ride faster on the road than I could even achieve on the track... I have dropped out of it but should be there to provide photographic evidence

That's alright, their fairing panels are worth more than my entire bike, I'll just radiate carefree ratbikeness and they'll keep their distance

I think that it is called 'Nonchalant insouciance'

You should add some Mad Max style spikes to the bike...

I'm booked up as i'm not taking any chances this time.

Booked up for sat 24th 9am -1pm for £55 in the novice group.

good value considering half days are normally £75 and the 2 hour evening sessions are £40.

see you there if anyone else goes.

Yeah, scare them silly with your ratbikeness

You've plenty of experience at Knockhill so you shouldn't be a mobile chicane

There's no shame in being lapped, I got lapped in Novice on my SV

judging by the standards of some of the people in the advanced group last time it doesnt make a difference what group your in anyway.

They might make it one big monster session with all groups riding together again.;

That's certainly true... Yeah, why not. I'll book it when the boss goes out.
