Did you book? Do they allow cancelations?
He told me he cancelled no problem - might get more difficult nearer the time though.

3 more weeks until the cast comes off.

Anyone fancy the Brands GP circuit on 23rd August it's a weekday but they've got a day and an evening session?

Would love to but I fear I may not be able to afford it... I have 2 track evenings to do in august as well but they're free!!!

Oh - and the evening session is only on the Indy circuit. (Noise restrictions come in at something like 6pm at Brands for thr GP circuit as it is sooooo close to people's houses! (The flag post on Sterlings is about 2' from the track and 2' from the end of someone's back garden!!!)

Both. A track day insurance policy you're looking at £150, and that'll only cover you if you completely destroy your bike (engine/frame damage) - it wont cover cosmetic damage. I think they have outrageous excesses too.

If you're that worried about damaging your bike, hire another.

Thanks for the advice might just think about hiring another bike may work out cheaper!

Take the SV, it's what your use to.

This is the way I look at it:

Hireing a bike, anywhere from 120+ a day, plus a deposit, up to £500, if you trash there bike.

Your would have to have a really nasty crash to brake an SV to the tune of 720+quid...

Just a thought...

What costs if you have a minor off is the fairings, mirrors, indicators etc and possibly the exhaust.

A good idea is to get some track plastic. Not necessarily a race fairing or anything, but you can get some 2nd hand/damaged fairings, that won’t look pretty but will be there, take the headlight, indicators and mirrors off, sling some R&Gs on there, get a damaged exhaust to put on too and to be honest there isn’t a lot more to damage!!! Lets face it if at that point you have an off that would damage anything else than you have already taken off/replaced, then you are probably going to be concerned with things other than your bike!!!

If nothing else it will put your mind at rest that you have taken precautions and you will enjoy the day more. Remember crashing at a trackday is a rarity, not a necessity!!

Re track day insurance.
Is it a given that you just repair your own bike even if you think someone else was to blame/at fault?
Touch wood this question won't arise!!
