Good point Tony - that is probably the most ludicrous of all cases! Whatever happened to common-sense and proportion, eh?

Snot was 96 last year at CC at 5000, and again this year checked before Assen at 96 again at 5000 with no DB killers.

Big difference now to 106 at 8000 tho

but, as has been said in other posts above, this is for a trackday and NOT racing at CC

It was just a warning to others going in the next couple of weeks, that CC officials have 'tightened up'

Yep - many thanks to AK for sorting the baffle situation - I must get myself a cordless drill!!!

The test was at 7-8K, despite my demands for a lower rev test, it was at 106.2db at 7K. The tester was as helpful as he cold be, but seemed tied by the regulations. He advised that I should ride the bike around to warm up the end can as this should reduce the noise!!

Despite doing this, I was still at 106.1 !!!

So fitted a baffle - courtesy of AK, and registered 102.2 - all OK.

As for the day, it was fun dodging between the showers and hale!!! The track does dry very quickly (thankfully), so managed a couple of dry sessions, along with some wet (and cold) weather testing!!!

Bones was riding well, and seemed to really gain a lot of confidence there - he's looking forward to the race I reckon.

I don't like the format of 6 groups of a dozen riders, with 10 mins each. It seems that just as you're getting into your stride - its over.

Numbers attending were low enough to combine our group with another, so we had some additional time, handy setup time.

Roll on June 10th.

Wet/dry suspension settings, gearing, ride height, scrubbing in tyres, etc.....

You're lucky to have Chass to do all that for you - must be great to be you
