Did Brands for the first time this week, I have to go back because (a) it was a great day and (b) only managed to get my right knee down

Got the form, will try and clear it with the powers that be over the weekend.

If you're still undecided perhaps this pic from Tuesday might encourage you

What does everyone else think?

pah! You don't need to be fast to have an ACU licence - I'm testament to that so let me tootle around at my own pace!

Before you ask, no I haven't and yes I will....

I'm intending to book.
Am just going on Hols for 2 weeks but will be booking after.
I don't want to miss getting a place so if it looks like it's going to be opened up to non-DSC, non-Ducati's then please contact Scott Weston (748_ARSE) and he'll pay up for me.
Thanks Scott!!

Anyway, us southern softies have to endure 5 hours of slog up to Cadwell, how come you rough-tough northern 'ard blokes(and bloke-esses) can't reciprocate???

i will see how much cash and bike i have left after my little project and how i get on at silverstone

i still have a weeks holiday left to take and would like to do it even if its only the indy circuit, is camping available the night before ??

whats the latest i can book by and when will we know if non members can go as my mate who's doing silverstone with me has a v-twin only its a sp2 and he can do donington gp in 1.50 so should be okay and safe for the fast group if hes allowed in

cheers

Deej, you can book right up until the point that I have no spaces left-then you can STILL book, but you will be a reserve.
Camping-afraid not-the powers that be will NOT allow camping at Brands-that's one of the reasons that I always run a day at Cadwell.

Well, this is why I said there would still be a variation in pace. But if you don't feel comfortable then don't go up into fast. You're there to enjoy the day, not feel uncomfortable because you're in the wrong group.

So get booking, and I'll do the same
