I'm considering the Silverstone date, at the moment I'm likely going to register with DMC Moto as I doubted we would get 11 people registered from here. Happy to give it a few days before booking as obviously would have a preference to support UKMOC.

I could fancy either.
Probably with a preference for Donington as a track, but the date is, as Rob points out, just after the weekender.
I've never ridden either track though, so I might be up for making up the club numbers at either venue, depending on which is most popular.

Also, slightly off topic ...
I count myself very lucky to have been around to attend the last UKMOC trackday at Mallory.
I know that it is unlikely to happen again, particularly since it was an extremely tight squeeze to reach the required funding levels last time.
So this is me saying thanks again Rob, for sticking your neck out and arranging that.

Tentative hand up for Silverstone purely based on Geographic location and hopefully weather will be better. Would love to ride either track, although Donington is a rather quick one.

Not as fast as Silverstone!!!

Also it's horribly flat (like most airfield circuits)- Donington is awesome to ride in my opinion!!!

If I want to hire one of the CSS bikes is it still the mahoosive deposit with CSS that I recall from their website?

Also, what sort of instruction is on offer for this? I know it says hints and tips but that can vary, do any of their instructors follow you, and give little bits of advice, or is it fairly generic on body position. (So I'd expect to be told off for riding on one bum cheek for the umpteenth time )

I'm not sure about doing the full CSS experience, as I've heard mixed things, so was hoping to see how I get on with their style of instruction before booking a CSS course.

I'm thinking Silverstone as it's less of a pain to get to. I'll confirm when I get back from Austin.

£1200 refundable deposit or you can pay £85 non refundable and limit liability to max £150

From what I hear CSS is good for beginners. Those with loads of bike experience, track and or road, are the ones that tend to knock them a bit, though not in all cases.

If I wanted to learn track riding they would probably be my goto.

I know what CSS do, and know many people who have taken their courses, both single and multiple levels, my question was directed to people who have attended this particular event before and is around the amount of tuition CSS give there, it's not clear from the event description if they'll be following riders and giving feedback, or just do a generic briefing.

Their coaching is primarily about cornering control, not track riding per se, so is more transferable for road riding, which is of more use to me.

Yeah, but they are called 'superbike school' and teach on tracks for a reason. I know a few who have been on the course, from back in the Honda days to recently. Of course it's about the corners. I haven't yet found a school to teach me how to ride the straights better

Sounds like you might benefit more from an i2i machine control course rather than a, mainly, track oriented one.

Which shows you don't understand CSS, as from conversations I've had in person with their instructors over the years, they see it as learning cornering a different way in a safe and unrestricted environment, and have had Goldwings, Harleys and many other non "Superbikes" on their course. They emphasised to not let the Superbike thing put you off as it's mainly to do with their fleet.

Again I'll reiterate the point that this question is directed to people who have attended this event before and is around what the "hints and tips from CSS instructors" amounts to, as I would hopefully see if I got on with their style of instruction/methodology and perhaps book on one of their courses.

Also FAO Slob as with Pegboy is there a cut off date for booking?

I think I might do Silverstone and hire a 959.

Add me to the list of names if you are keeping one.
