Silverstone, Easter Monday
 

Since March and Wednesdays seem to be quite unpopular with, well, anyone with a job, children or skin that can detect low temperatures or atmospheric moisture in any way, I've had a rummage and come up with the following absolute blinder:

Silverstone GP circuit, Easter Monday, Focused Events, 149 quid.

That's a bank holiday on track at a current MotoGP circuit for less than the price of a bottle of champagne in a London gentlemen's club. Or so I'm told.

C'mon, who's with me? I've got a credit note burning a hole in my pocket, a gf who I'm sure will understand that if I'm spending one weekend falling off a bike in France I should spend the weekend before falling off a bike somewhere up north and, well, a litrebike that wants ragging round a MotoGP circuit.

Hell, I'll even set up a poll. You can't say fairer than that.

Roll up, roll up.

Well, I seem to have just booked it. So that's one vote for.

Very tempting
Just need some convincing i am there only 5 days earlier aswell

Re: Silverstone, Easter Monday
 

So what group did you go in?

The pansies.

It'll only be my third trackday, my first time at Silverstone, and I can't ride for toffee as most TVSFers will almost certainly attest.

Not voting yet. I want to. Hell I deserve to. But may just be moving house again. In which case I need all the spare cash (and time) I can for preparation for the move. Wouldn't go in any case until the YZF has had a new clutch fitted. So I will stand back and wait a while before voting.

I'm very tempted but as its on the bank holiday there may social functions to attend. I prefer taking a day off mid week to be honest! I'll keep an eye on availabilty and book if possible at a later date.

Re: Silverstone, Easter Monday
 

I sent focused events an e-mail just to clarify whether it is a ride by or static noise test
They responded by saying

The noise limit for this day is the 100db. If your bike is over this you will be unable to ride. It might be worth taking a trip to your local circuit to get it tested just to be on the safe side.

Silverstone is my local circuit and with Hottrax i have not had to provide a static test as it was ride by
oh and they didn't answer my question either is it static or ride by
RAH!

Re: Silverstone, Easter Monday
 

I was under the impression noise testing was done by the circuit operators. If in doubt, give the circuit a buzz and see what they say.

Re: Silverstone, Easter Monday
 

They obviously didn't want to commit to a proper answer as should you decide not to do the event because of the noise restrictions they will have lost your money for the day. Where as should you turn up and fail the noise test, they would still have the dosh.
