Sunday 28th May **ABORT!! ABORT!! SEE NEW THREAD**
 
This is the May holiday weekend------------There is a track day at Snetterton[£99]
and for those not interested [Cuppa and a roll at Snet] I would consider continuing on to Muckelburgh to the Tank Museum [£5:50]

Route=A131--A134--A143--B1111--Snetterton for 10:00am if no trackdayers
B1111--A1075--B1110--A148 Sheringham [Museum 12:00-16:00]

This journey took me about 2 1/2hrs in the cage coming home last week on the main routes so I would expect it to be about that going the scenic way on a bike,therefore it means leaving at 8ish from Chelmsford

For a fast ride home A148--A10--A14--M11--A120--A130--Chelmsford,estimate 2hrs

---------------POST UP IF YOU ARE DEF GOING-------------

You have the following day off as it is a holiday, for ur R's to recover if necessary :lol:

I'm up for the trackday!

You just need to carify some things for me!

1st: Do I need 1 pce leathers or are my 2 pce ones ok?

2nd: My helmet doesn't have the race tested sticker on it - is it still allowed ?

3rd: Is there a db limit on cans

4th: I need knee sliders but don't have velcro on my leather trousers.

1. 2 piece are OK if they zip together (at least 180 degrees)

2. Has to have the ACU or BMS approved (sticker on the back) but not seen them ever check a lid - what make is it?

3. 105 with Focused Events @ Snetterton- you'll be fine

4. I doubt you'll be wearing sliders then - don't stick them on or if you get your knees down they'll fly off.

Focused Events are running that track day - web address is http://www.focusedevents.com/ - they'll confirm your leathers and slider situation when you book

SpankyHam 07-05-06 06:17 PM

Well this sucks.

I have a BMW Sportintegral. It hasn't got the ACU Sticker.

This Helmet is the Nuts



With the knee slider thing....

2 options

I can either try these self adhesive velco pads or I'll have to buy new trousers...

If its road legal then it should have BSM sticker or EU equivalent - its ACU or BSM. Give Focused a call and tell them the lid and they'll confirm.

New trousers may be a good idea although you may want to save them for after the track day :wink: (it's not scary really m8!) :lol:

EDIT - just checked on a website and your lid should have Certification: ECE 22.05 somewhere on it so it should be OK! :D

Thanks Balky001 :thumbsup:

As it looks like some of our number are serious about doing the trackday the itinary will be somewhat changed as you have to be at the track at 8:30 for the briefing

--LEAVE BOREHAM 7:00AM -A130-A120-M11-A11-SNETTERTON--[quickish]


See what the day brings after arriving at Snetterton,can either spectate and relax but leave early and ride home the scenic route or go for a little ride out local and return to Snetterton

Anybody interested hold their hands up please and we will try to accommodate the needs of the mass



[ I will leave the tank museum for another day]

SpankyHam 08-05-06 09:43 AM

Just received your message Mac.

About it being changed to mallory park.

This is too much hassle. riding there, then be on the track all day.

I'll just do a Brands Hatch next time there's one coming up.

Dicky Ticker 08-05-06 10:14 AM

Sorry about that Patric but they were having difficulties getting the numbers booked at the class they wanted ------Still the best laid plans of mice and men go to "wrack an ruin" again.--------------I will see what I can do about the tank museum as an alternative and just make it a nice rideout with a bit of interest
