Okay so how are we going to arrange this ?
As most of us are "Southern" well south of the Watford Gap, Brands would be a good circuit and its a fun circuit too.
 
So come on you lot lets get Griff to Brands

I'd be up for that, a track day is on the to do list for next year perhaps after the knee down day so I can look real cool as I throw the Tuono cartwheeling into the undergrowth CoolWacko

If you're trying to get griff on his first track day wouldn't it be a good idea to ask him where he wants to go? His nearest is Mallory but has a great choice being based in the midlands but to be honest is he going to want you lot around LOL
 
If you all want to do one and we can agree on a track & date i could try and talk to the company i instruct with to maybe get a group booking??

Na I think we will just tell him to be at a certain track at a certain time (I'll leave a trail of jaffa cakes for him to follow), alternatively we'll get Zed to kidnap him Wink
 
Who do you instruct with ? (being nosey)
(Almost all of my TD's have been with focussed as Brands is only 40 mins away and I have to ride to the circuit (can "loan" a trailer from time to time tho)

I have never done Cadwell, Oulton, Mallory or Castle Combe ( I know its not north but hey ), but they are on my list so you my find me north of Watford one of these day's. Shocked
 
So if you see a black Aprilia being ridden badly by a gorilla in leathers (usually in the inters group) , then its probably me !!

alright dudes!!
Yeah in up for brands no worries!!

if were gonna make an event of this then surely we should throw this open to the majority vote??

i'll go wherever!! the aprilai whore i am!!

right a breif explaination about why this is such an event for me....

yes i have a phobia of pain!!

i spent a few years racing CBR600 X7 GSXR 750 WT RD350 etcetc , but the last meeting i did at mallory i crashed hard and made a bit of a mess of things ....i rode a bike the same day again even though i was f**ked up just to make sure but i was still nervous ....

I raced an sp1 again at donny a few years later and wasnt happy at all so that lasted about 3 laps and lucky my visor clip broke so that was me back to the pits and not been on a track since!!

Still ,im a big man and not scared im prepared to face my fears and battle my demons, and this is the year it will happen ! Ive bought an RS250 track bike and am preparing that at the moment ...this was zeds constant torment thats done this by the way!!
Im hopefully gonna get some tuition as its been probably coming up for 10 years since the last time a rode on a track and 13-14 years since the off! or i might just grit my teeth and get in there and do it!!
What ever happens as long as my mates are there i;'ll be alright....or rather the constant go on ...go on ....and the fear of not letting anyone down will do it ....baby wipes anyone???

satill ....im in whereever the majority wills it i will be there!!! clean underpants in the bag!! hehe!

over to you!

millemille...your not alone mate dont worry!!

Griffer! ( a slightly more nrevous griffer ...now he's made these sweeping statements!!)

Griff , I hate pain too................
 
I have been pretty busted up since 83' (racing accident) , since i've been doing trackdays (2006) I have broken a toe and 2 fingers (all of which were done in the garage loading or unloading the bike !), I have also broken my SP1 & my R1.
 
However the enjoyment and fun factor is soooo high that it cancels the risks (Providing you accept your limits and ride within them). These days I am only limited by finance not enthuisasm

Can someone in admin start a poll of where people want to go? I'll go with the majority (for the first time!)
 
Brands  5
Silverstone  4
Mallory  7
Donington (if its still alive)  3
Snetterton  6
Cadwell  1
Oulton  2
 
I've put my own rating for each track at the side if i thought it was worth putting Angelsey up i would have done and it would have been in the top 3 but as it's just over 4 hours for me and i'm in the midlands god knows what it would be for some of you southerners!!
