That is true, I was purposely making myself 'wide' as you had more drive out of the turns .... but it is not like you could get away when I was behind ;) ... although you could dart away out of the turns, on the overall lap I could get that deficit back and I was right up your chuff lap after lap!! 8)

Ok, I phoned up. Its open for minimoto from 5pm tomorrow (Sunday) until 9pm.

I'll be getting there just after 4 to get set up etc :)

For those wondering how much it is for hire bikes

?10 = 1 x 10 minutes
?18 = 2 x 10 minutes
?25 = 3 x 10 minutes
?32 = 4 x 10 minutes
?40 = 6 x 10 minutes

That I think is really good VFM ... it costs me the best part of ?40 in fuel and entry fees to run my own bike there for the evening!! :shock:

This is me losing it :oops: and my mate joining in!! :mrgreen: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=LHZx-_iGobA

So there you go ... who is game someone ... anyone?!!?

Can't do it tomorrow, but maybe you could advise me on something. I got given a minimoto from a chap who couldn't get it running and couldn't be bothered sorting it. I had it going within an hour after cleaning out various parts. Anyway, it's just a cheap thing you could probably get off ebay new at £60 or something, but it goes ok and is getting my 11 year old used to riding something with a motor in it. Would it be worth running at Hullavington or would it be far too slow?

Yep, that is absolutely fine, I started off on a 'cag'* too 8)


*cag is a generic name for the sort of bike you got ... a bit like scooter covers all ... well scooters :D .. Cag is actually short for 'Cagliari' .. the factory/place where they are all made ;)

Looks great fun, I've had a brief go on one at a kart track in France and I'd love to have a proper go sometime. £40 for 6 x 10 min sessions sounds pretty reasonable to me. Shame it's so far away or I'd be there.

I've been meaning to give this a go for a while...

I'm not a confirmed but I maybe able to make it over for a quickie (as it were, so to speak). Would be good for someone who knows what their doing to show me the ropes?
