Hi Mand, yes that is me at Oulton on a very wet and greasy track. Wasn't me yesterday though the bike's not been out of the garage for a month. I need to get it out this week though and prep it for Angelsey and also test out my new GoPro Wide camera.

PDL, I think it's a bit much to be on track at the same time as that building behind you......

Don't know, but it comes up fast in the last lap of a race when you're trying to hold off two bikes that you have been swapping places with for 8 laps, the front goes light and the bars are shaking, and you drop 2 gears instead of one just as you are about to turn in. Bugger. Despite that it's still my favourite circuit in the UK.

Yup, coming out of Lodge looking at Dears Leap thinking "I won't shut off, I won't shut off, I won't shut off............." and then shutting off before the apex.

Is it worth considering organising a UKMOC track day this year? I'm not thinking about anything as grand as the ones Terry used to organise at Mallory, but perhaps if we pick a circuit and set a day then it may be worth seeing of someone like No Limits would set aside some places for us. I attended the Ducatisti track day at Pembrey for the past two years and we had about 30 Dukes turn up. Obviously we weren't the only bikes there but we did have a good atmosphere. Would there be any interest from members for it? I may even consider borrowing a bike and getting out there myself.

Well if you'd stop selling them Gilps and not waste it weddings you'd have a bike to bring
What's wrong with the Monster?

As for a TD, pick a day and sign me up, forks now refreshed with oil, clutch parts purchased and fairing on the way. Bring on the sun.

The Monster's going nowhere near a track. I can't afford to damage it. I sold the track bike as I had decided not to do track days any more, and now I'm missing the buzz of track riding.

I am in, looking at the dates cost etc Snetterton is £110, Cadwell £120 Brands £185, Although Brands would be fantasic it's a bit rich for me.

I am up for either Snetterton or Cadwell, i will definately do at least one of these.

Tue 25.5 at Cadwell
Mon 5.7 at Snetterton
Tue 24.8 at Cadwell


Anyone else????

i just came across this site and alot cheaper, but then again they say there are instructors but how invovled don't know, any one used these guys before?
