Give me a set of slicks and I'll do the same.

There was some posts about doing another one...

There's good deal for Cadwell with FE at the moment - 25th Sept £59
http://www.focusedevents.com/event_l...?event_type=UK

(note the circuit saver deals work by encouraging people to book early and as more people book the price will go up)

Ok, it's a bit far for us, but an awesome track and one everyone should do once at least

I will be keeping my bike firmly on the road for now. Enjoyed the day but dont want to tempt fait until I can afford to crash her!

Cadwell's always reasonable, especially considering it's such a mad track. Seems the further North you go the cheaper they are. We can all camp in my parents back garden!

I'd definately be up for a Cadwell this year to beat away the demons. First trackday was at Cadwell along with my first off.

Spoke to my mate today. He's booked up Brands GP. £215!! Not blooming likely.

How about Lydden Hill nr Canterbury on July 26th? It's 100 quid but nearer than most so less on petrol.. If we went to Cadwell it'd cost a lot more to get there.

Did Lydden last year it's a great small track just over a mile long with mostly right handers and 1 left hander. You can see the whole track from one vantage point. Bit of a distance as its only 12 miles from Dover!

I was going for a later date purely as I have to get it past Jo. Not so sure I'd be able to get another one so soon. Especially when I need a new rear tyre and a new piston kit for the front callipers.

might be cheaper to get a set of calipers off fleabay and strip them Si? Piston kits aren't cheap (as I'm sure you know already). Guess thew SV only has 2 pistons per caliper but even so...
