Yeah, any chance of an on-line list of some sort? I sent form & cheque off ages ago but, since then, I have had about six items lost in the post and all these "Your postman is a kleptomaniac psycho with learning disabilities" documentaries have got me worried.

Hang on... :eureka: ... I'll see if the cheques been cashed, ignore me.

In any layby you like mate-the did's do it all the time.:lol:
Unfortunately we cannot camp at Brands-they won't let us through the gates until about 7.00am. There is however quite a long access road past the hotel-I wonder.........:devil:

[webbyc]

See you've put me in the inters Monty, don't think I'm quite ready for that yet as cadwell was the first one for two years!!

[Monty]

Right then-that's TopiToo swapping with Webby-1 up, 1 down. I think???

John

[Jon]

Monty is it still all dukes only?

[Monty]

Yes mate, as of today it is, but at the rate it is being booked up I may have to resort to opening it up to the great unwashed-oh and japanese bikes as well.
6 weeks to go and it is 1/3rd full!!!!!!!-panic, who me??

Hi Monty - you have a u2u.

kp

[Wylie1]

Monty... I'll be getting my form & cheque off to you today. I've also got one other (+ a further 2 possibly) to come along.

How are the numbers looking at the moment? Many spaces left?

Any chance you could put some names to the groups (in an attempt to generate a bit of activity on the thread). It might spur some to come along.

Put me down for the fast group please.

[Monty]

The more the merrier mate, the more the merrier.
I have ammended the list further up in this post to sort by groups so you can see who's in what.

John

[butch890]

If we are stugling to fill this would it be worth offering half days at say £70.
Butch

[ericthered40]

Any chance of an updated list as it's less than 2 weeks away now :)

Look far ahead - it slows down the track and without realising it your peripheral vision will guide you on the route you looked forward at. Similarly, don't watch someone if they go off infront of you - you will follow them!

Did my first day on July 4th, my second just now in Jerez. Made some mistakes in jerez that I paid for. All ready for my 3rd day at TA5. Be happy to hook up and share nerves!!!;)

[Monty]

Wylie1-yes I got it mate-been a bit busy this week so behind on paperwork. I will get the list up to date today-Friday-it's now only 12 days to go.

John

[ak47]

My bike has been at the dealers for the past 6 weeks and is still not fixed. If it isn't ready by the 5th does anyone know of anywhere that I can hire a bike?

[ChrisBushell]

Try Louigi Moto on 01761-453366

[robo75uk]

sounds like a good idea to hook up . have to sort a meet thats if your ok with that. think im going to need all the help i can get ha ha

safety in numbers sounds good! What are you riding Rob?

[robo75uk]

748 only had it a a while

Don't crash + don't follow kp ;) :lol: :frog: (robo75uk....you'll see what I mean when you see kp's recent modifications!).

Seriously though, you'll be fine if you ride at a pace you're happy with & don't try & keep up with other people.

Concentrate on what's in front of you, rather than who's trying to overtake you (let them worry about that).

Like kp says, look as far through the corner as you can & can. The bike will follow that path.

Don't touch the brakes in the corner (obvious, but it happens more than you'd think).

Most of all, enjoy yourself :burn:

[KP]

Whats wrong with my recent mods? They give my 999 character!! - well the right hand side anyway :D

Time will tell - hot and spicy Wylie1?:devil:

[robo75uk]

is it 4 20 min sessions ive been told its a lot of riding for first one. what do you think still im a big boy now :lol:

[Dementor]

Any joining instructions yet Monty?

[Wylie1]

Originally posted by robo75uk

You should get 6 or 7 20min sessions, depending on weather, stoppages, etc.

[Monty]

Joining Instructions-JOINING INSTRUCTIONS..............

What do you want to know??

Brands Hatch is in Kent off the A20

Signing on will be from 07.30, Briefing will be at 08.30, Fast Group out first at 09.00, then inter, then novice in 20 minute sessions. We should get hopefully 7 sessions each group, if there are stoppages we will try to adjust the times so that everyone gets the same amount of tracktime. Currently all the groups are less than half full so it's an ideal time for people who are less confident as the track won't be crowded.

[robo75uk]

ive been yold to drop the tyre presser on my 748 for the track day is this true if so what do i put in them this is like another world to me cant wait :alien:

[dickieducati]

30/31 or thereabouts will do you.

[Tonio600]

Message original : KP
Legal question - If it is day light, can I ride to Brands (sensibly) with a trackday fairing i.e. no headlight or mirrors?? Of course I will have my numberplate and rear brakelight.

In France, the answer would be "yes you can, if you don't get caught by the gendarmerie" :lol:

I don't know in the UK, but in France you're NOT allowed to ride a bike without mirrors or headlights. Even if you're going to a trackday :D. Furthermore, your lights must be on.

Thanks Tonio - I started a new thread on this and wished I hadn't opened the can of worms. :o

Last evening, by six'ish, it was overcast and if I were on the road, would definately have wanted a light on. That made my mind up.
