I'm temporarily Invading the GM Section ... - SV650.org

... But I'll make it quick.

I know we bantered about me possibly organising something in Wales and, hell, I haven't even met any of you but you all sound like a good laugh so I'm gonna put an actual idea out there.

Gauging interest in having an Org trackday here - http://www.llandow.com/?page_id=52 - in April. The idea is perhaps to have a whole day to ourselves if there's enough numbers (unlikely) or perhaps just an Org Group - GSXR's / Tigers included - as part of their normal Trackdays (more likely).

Stay over & day 2 could be a mystery rideout taking in some spectacular Welsh roads or just simply chill and have a few beers, before people head back out of God's Country.

As for the track, they're more ... lenient (shall we say) on the whole 'noise testing' thing and its a small enough circuit that no one will be tearing away into the distance down the straightaway on their GSXR / Tiger. Other than that the main trackday rules apply i.e. two piece zipped or one piece, roadworthy bikes, license etc.

I'll see what the response in general is before looking into it in further detail but something like this has been done before there so I know its possible down there.

Cheers GM'ers

Sounds interesting and I could be persuaded but its price dependant. I've often looked at going there just for a lark about in the past but the cost never seems to reflect the track. What I mean is the size is smaller than mallory park, but they charge the same or sometimes slightly more than mallory and mallory is a much better layout and track surface.

It's still a good idea. I've been flirting with the guys about doing a GM track day at some point this year.

I too would be interested in theory, but it's date/price/and bike situation dependant.

^I'm with stupid(s)

Only weekend I can't do is the one covering the 21'st as I shall be birthdaying In Brighton.

I know a nice couple who do B&B just a mile or two from the circuit. They also have four holiday cottages in converted barns. And he's a biker.

Nice area - shame I was there in the car.

I could be persuaded. Never fancied the track but it could be a good laugh. Weather worries me but if its lashing we could just retire to the pub. Do you get sunshine in Wales during April?

Fallout · 07-03-13, 08:34 AM

What were those B&Bs Trev? Biker friendly I take it?

It would be pretty sexual to have us all belting round a track

I might be persuaded too, but I've got less than a year under my belt, and a track day may trying to run before I can walk at this point in time.

But the chase is half the fun!

You wont be the slowest out there. You could take a 125 and there would still probably be someone slower than you.

I'd be going for inters tho
