Anyone fancy the NEW Silverstone for £99 26th April?

Answers on a post to this address.

Re: Anyone fancy the NEW Silverstone for £99 26th April?

I'd love to... but I'm rather lacking a suitable bike for this at the moment - and I doubt the Booby Bike will be ready by then. :(

Re: Anyone fancy the NEW Silverstone for £99 26th April?

I don't think my poor sv can manage the 200mph straight :rolleyes:

Re: Anyone fancy the NEW Silverstone for £99 26th April?

Ahh yes I spotted that rather tasty deal as well! Am just deciding whether I can justify £200 on trackdays right now, but I'm sure I'll be able to find a reason...

I'll lend him the leg, since its about the right size, we still need a correctly functioning central nervous system though, as mine is faulty.

Re: Anyone fancy the NEW Silverstone for £99 26th April?

So much for getting the hopes up Darren :roll:

Scratch that - you can do just the 26th for £99

Oh! Feck...it seems I'm out of excuses :oops:

Re: Anyone fancy the NEW Silverstone for £99 26th April?

The new layout is very good, I did it a couple of weeks ago in the pi$$ing rain.

I had a camera on for most of the sessions, but still not uploaded much content as I'm lazy by nature! ;)

Here are a couple of vids though. It was wet/pi$$ing down for most of the day, so no heroics from me, although I can't display any in the dry either! :)

I wanted to do this day, but Focused Events won't accept my restricted licence...even though Silverstone, the circuit, does!!!!

Re: Anyone fancy the NEW Silverstone for £99 26th April?

Ahh the delights of multi-quote. Who'd have thought that Soho was full of defeatists?!

You don't need a stand to ride a motorbike round a track!

It hasn't got to be race fit, just able to go round and round a track

While I have some nerve I haven't got enough to lend you. Surely you could just go a bit slower like the rest of us?

Re: Anyone fancy the NEW Silverstone for £99 26th April?

Top marks for Cazza! :lol:

Re: Anyone fancy the NEW Silverstone for £99 26th April?

People, there are 4 places left, yay or nay?

Re: Anyone fancy the NEW Silverstone for £99 26th April?

I've just booked up. Apparently there are 'about' (?!) six places left in each group.

Yippeeeeeee!

Re: Anyone fancy the NEW Silverstone for £99 26th April?

Booked! In the beginners group hopefully.

Woohoo! :D

Re: Anyone fancy the NEW Silverstone for £99 26th April?

Re: Anyone fancy the NEW Silverstone for £99 26th April?

Tempting! Will need to check the cash situation when I get home.

You are a bad, bad, bad Man.

I've just spent money I don't have....

& with the Rat currently in pieces unless I put some time in I'll be on the R6 teetering around like someone's granny. (For a bit)

How Easy is it to change a rear shock?

Actually no... don't answer... I'm not talking to you.

:p

Edit: No offence to my long dead paternal Granny who used to race Morgans.

Re: Anyone fancy the NEW Silverstone for £99 26th April?

I can lend you the money if you want Paul.

Nice one Sosha.

I'll trade you a 31" inside leg for a functioning left elbow. Deal?

You're very kind, as always, but I simply wouldn't feel (mentally) comfortable riding a borrowed bike - if I bent it, it could be tricky for me to afford to mend it.

Dazza - nice try re: the sidestandless Booby Bike - but it also has a puncture in the rear. At the moment, the dear GS is the most trackable of my fleet, but that will be given a 'for sale' sticker shortly, rather than a "Silverstone - 26th May" one!

I definitely want to do a trackday this year though :D.

Re: Anyone fancy the NEW Silverstone for £99 26th April?

Of course Stu. You?

There will be plenty plenty time for lots more trackdays Cazza.

Re: Anyone fancy the NEW Silverstone for £99 26th April?

I would have loved to have come along to watch but that day I have the Cricket Writers Club AGM followed by the Cricket Society Cricket Book of the Year Awards - yes, I can hardly contain my excitement at the prospect!
