16/06/08 - The TVSF Track Day Experience

Booked the trackday but not recieved confirmation yet.

I chose option 1 as I will riding like Rossi........ Mr. Rossi


Therefore I will be riding like a muppet, accidentally going sideways, and probably backing it into a tyrewall!

So, if you guys hire a recovery van then I don't mind chipping in, just in case.

I have also persuaded a mate to come and so there will be a TL thou joining us too.

Just so everyone is clear about transport arrangements.

After speaking with a few at the Shire on Tuesday and subsequent conversations after...

There will be no recovery van being taken. It would basically mean hiring a van for 4 days which is excessive for a single track day.

The track will allow free storage of your motorcycle should you not be able to ride it home.

There will be two spare seats within 4 wheeled vehicles and the obvious selection of pillion seats to choose from. So getting back home after the event should not be an issue.

This would also mean the hire of a van for a single day should it be required to go back and collect the bike(s).

Mari & Dan have kindly offered to use their "track day" van to go back and recover the bike(s). This is assuming I guess if they are available on the same day as you.

That is all.

No - it does have a lot of Left handers though

Odd sort of place - kind of in the middle of an industrial estate.


Edit: and the diner is a bit of a walk and not open til 11. If anyone driving can bring a kettle - I'll bring the teabags...bring your own mugs prob not a bad idea either....

We can carry stuff there, will bring some mugs & bicckies.. so if anyone wants to make tea they're welcome

i don't know if they are still on the market, but Nescafe used to do a coffee in a can thing where you pulled a tab on the bottom of the cup and it mixed two chemicals which had an exothermic reaction - one instant hot coffee! Might see if I can find em for the pit lane (as I will definatly be needing a brew post session)

yUK.

What, it's just coffee?

EDIT- maybe I should have said that the chemicals don't mix with the coffee lol
