Runway madness desired
 

Am at Cosford (near Wolvo) on the train - looking out at the runway at RAF Cosford. Would love to let rip on there on the 675. Anyone know if the RAF - or any other airfield - allow it?

Don't know but last year the Warwickshire Air Ambulance had a charity ride which stopped off at RAF Bruntingthorpe where you could have as many goes down the runway as you wanted!!! Got the 749 up to 161mph.

There quite a few track days that happen at RAF bases, one in particular uses a taxi way that's pretty much the entire length runway as the straight. Think it's RAF Waddington.

Bruntingthorpe... 2 miles straight. Speirs and Pete&Lissa did a runway event thing there and dairly easily Vmax'ed their bikes from what I understand. It's not an everyday thing but theres a few events run out of there that aloow you to do it.

Edit: Damn... to slow lol.
