For anyone trying to find us on the day there should be 4 scruffy guys by a huge white van with 4 curvy SV650s (3 without fairings). We will probably be there quite early trying to find a spot with power so we can get the kettle working.

I'm the one that looks like a bearded stick insect.

Come and say hi if you're about.

I've done it in one day before as in riding up there and riding back again the same day, was a very long day, but I managed it and I'm coming from Watford. however I am probably a fair bit younger than yourself I suspect, even now n I did it back in 2009/2010 I think

Shame, we could have ridden up together. I'm only a few miles from you.

From No Limits on Facebook:

Quote:
"Snetterton Information this Sunday.

The A11 will be closed from Friday night till Monday morning around 11am. This will affect the route to and from Snetterton.

Suggested route. Head to Bury st Edmunds then Thetford.

Thanks to instructor Ratty for the heads up."
People are saying it hasn't added much time to their journey so far but worth a check up for those attending.

There's a section on it from the Highways agency here if you'd like to see the planned schedule or even read up on the public consultation process if you're having trouble with insomnia in the run up to the track day.

I know you are, which was why I thought i'd tell/show you that it can be done.

hopefully I can meet you n we can take the ride down into a soho meet together when I get my licence back in march time.

Right. Give me a shout when you're back on. There's potentially a Spanish track session coming up next year at a dealer nearby.

Yep. Early days yet but may involve loading bikes onto a lorry, flying over, track session, load bikes back on and fly back. I'll keep you informed.
