I should like to try the bike out for the first time somewhere safe and private .....if only to be able to give it a proper systems check and to get used to the race gearchange ....anyone got any bright ideas for a venue ??????

Btw...John Hackett (from whose establishment I purchased the bike )wants to come along for the first trackday to help set the bike up ....John does love the 888 series and is in the process of restoring his own racebike.

Lets do it guys !

Id suggest Mallory Phil..central, not very technical and cheap.

If we get a good response we could probably make up 50% of a group which would having too many hondasuzyakis gimping around..id even be happy going in novices for this very reason..

This sounds like it could take off mate !!

When are we talking about, approx?

[simon748]

would love to do track day wiyh other 888s I've only taken mine on 1 track day.

[philthy]

How many would it take to have a Ducati only track day?

[851neil]

I'd definitely be up for Donington, Mallory, Croft or Cadwell - afraid that Brands is a little too far for me.

[851neil]

Phil, that is just beautiful-but-you should be ashamed of yourself for putting it alongside that horrible rough wall-where's the carpet protection??

On another note I have asked for a brands date late May early June-it would be fantastic to get a nice collection of 888's out together.

That could fall rather close to WDW2006 John

Would definately by interested in coming to an 888/851 Track meet. Please spread the word - it would be amazing to see all the old girls in their natural habitat.

I'm sure the SP2 would love a good thrash round any of these circuits, but a midlands one would suit me, or Castle Coombe/Pembrey.

VERY gorgeous bike Logyk - I bet you can't wait to ride it. What's her history - she looks like she's never seen a bit of tarmac ?

Further thought - after watching the 1990 WSB video, what do you guys think of us re-creating the era by inviting some boys/girls with ZXR750 / RC30 / OWO1 Yams along too ?
