Castle Combe BikeSafe 2014
The national Castle Combe BikeSafe event is back for the 12th April 2014, and there will be at least 1 SV650 there.
Details. If you don't fancy the track or the assessed rides then there are some show stands and other things around including a few hundred bikes. I shall be taking part, hope to see others there... Book early (now) to avoid disappointment. You will not get on the track if you turn up on the day. There is also a strict noise limit for the track. The value of your investment may go up and down. The weather will be British. |

Re: Castle Combe BikeSafe 2014
Any idea how they measure the db, distance position etc?
And do you need full leathers for the track? Remember there was some debate last year.

Re: Castle Combe BikeSafe 2014
Sneak through and have your bike noise tested before you sign in and pay. That's what I did last time so it didn't cost me anything.
Every other track with a non road legal can my thunderace come's out at 98db and castle combe failed it on the standard can. Last edited by Wideboy; 06-03-14 at 02:51 PM. |

Quote:
Taken from their website: http://www.castlecombecircuit.co.uk/...nformation.asp The noise limit for the day is 105 db(A), which is measured at ½ metre from the exhaust outlet at ¾ maximum revs. It is the rider’s responsibility to ensure that their machine is within this limit. All machines are sound tested prior to going out on the circuit. In the event of a machine failing the sound check, then the rider will be entitled to a 75% refund. If you are unsure if your bike will get through the noise test (i.e. if it is fitted with an after market exhaust system), then you can always come over to get the bike noise tested prior to booking a place. Riders need to have a full face helmet, and either one or two piece leathers. If they are two piece, then these must zip together either fully or partially. Boots and gloves must be of leather construction and carry no metal studs. It is strongly recommended that additional back protectors be worn whilst on the circuit. This is for trackdays, not sure if bikesafe will have to comply with this? |
