Re: Rockingham Nat. Sun 22nd March 2009
Noise testing is something the organisers have to do as part of their "contract" with the circuit, however they are not looking to try and spoil anyones day. You do need to pass, and there are various tricks to scrape through (red bull can up the pipe anyone?) and then once you are through you are very unlikely to get pulled or tested again. My GSXR passes no problem with the db killer in, but there is no way I'd go out on circuit with it still in place and they know it.....it's only held in with one tiny bolt.
You just need to watch it at some circuits, Goodwood for example, where they have noise meters around the circuit and you can sometimes set these off. |

Re: Rockingham Nat. Sun 22nd March 2009
Just out of interest, This is my first trackday on bike...
Is there anything I should bring? Is there anything I shouldn't bring? Any general tips / advice (except "don't crash") |

Ian, if you have any spare levers, I'd take those, cable ties and gaffa tape.
I wouldn't take a decorative 1/100 scale model of the titanic though. |

Re: Rockingham Nat. Sun 22nd March 2009
