Cadwell in late March or early April?
 

Anyone else up for a cheeky Northern jaunt?

Ideally this'll be late March for me - first outing on the Monnie!!!

UKtrackdays website says there's;

Thurs 24th or Friday 25th (Good Friday) seems OK!!

Tim:ninja:

going to Oulton tim, less chance of snow:frog:

Yep, but the DD aint!!!! ;)

Me and Dickie are doing 23rd of April, the weekend before the race debut.

I was planning the cheeky Brands Indy day a bit closer - if you're keen Mr Rattler sir.

since when has Cadwell been north ??? Cadwells in a kind of UK Area 51, its not really anywhere is it ..... neither north nor south ....

Dibble, confused ...

Ah bless!!! You are easily confused though!!!

Its the Northernmost of all of the DD tracks this year, and North of where I live!!!

I could go South to get there, but it'll take me a long time to get there.

No go to bed you pi55 head!!!!

Tim;)

Sober as a judge mate, just not sure that amount of Red Bull was a good idea ... I've awoken feeling like I need to be sleeping .. and whilst trying to get to sleep was wide awake .....

The only place south of you though Tim is the Isle of Wight ....

I'm booked for Cadwell on Good Friday. I'm going up there the day before, probably. Not sure if I'm riding up or taking the bike on the new trailer I'm picking up tomorrow. :D:D

The route up there is good fun, so riding up might be a good move. If you're planning to go, Tim, maybe I could put my trackfairings in your van? :sing::sing::sing:

Yep, I'll be there with NO LIMITS on Good Friday 25 March. No need for a days holiday. We're also there on Saturday and Sunday 19 & 20 March. Give us a call on 01727 899173 if you fancy joining me.

New Era SUPERCLUB first championship round is on Sunday and Monday 27 & 28. Make a weekend of it and come and watch Monty and me on the TZ250. It would be a good experience if you have never been around a club race paddock before or have been but never really had to pay attention like you will have to soon!!!

If you were really brave, you could even enter a race - I'm sure you could go in Sound of Thunder, (there are sometimes bikes at the back of the field I can beat on my CB5, so you may not be last, but you may be lapped).

You're going racing.....there's no room for feint heart anymore. Imagine the head start you'll have on the others tee hee, mix, mix. Not long now!!!

Just sent you a U2U WJB. That sounds like fun. Just trying to get my dog booked into kennels so I can get away for the whole weekend.

So, I need to know, will the northern lot be doing a rideout at Easter that I can join in with. May as well get a decent guided bike tour whilst I'm up there. :sing::sing::sing:

KeefyB, you have to show Ruth "The Rollercoaster"!

:devil:

:o

What's KeefyB doing up there? He's out with us most BHC rideouts? How far are you prepared to go for breakfast, KeefyB?

:o:o

KB gets around, you know!

Rattler
Booked on the 12th March with Focused if you want to come up earlier than planned?

I don't think the monnie won't be ready then - shame though, it would've been great to catch up mate.

Tim

Hey ho
There will be other days.
First outing for the 748 I got off Skids so hopefully will be fun?

I wondered where that went!!! Nice one!!

I've just booked Cadwell April 18th, too.

And Tuesday April 26th Donnington.

And (booked provisionally)
May 9th, Cadwell
11th June, Cadwell
11th July Donnington
19th September Cadwell

So then there's also the 25th July DSC day too plus Brands in October TA5.

I've limited myself to No Limits dates otherwise there would be no excuse for not booking one a week!

:bouncy:

Too many posts - need to get out more - and this is where I shall mainly be going! :roll::roll::lol:

Yeah Tim
Really looking forward to it now.
Just need to bleed the brakes a bit and change the tyres then thats it.

Ruth
Will check my dates and see when we might cross paths???

Okedokey. Just don't try and park your YELLOW bike next to my RED one, will you?

:devil::frog:

Wouldn't want me to show yours up eh?

Yep, no denying she's mighty fine, just don't park her next to my baby, ok! :devil::devil::devil:

Ruthie, you're on fire!!!

Have you still got Good Friday booked at Caddy?
I'll be booking tomorrow... and so, I'm sure, will the Rattly chap. It's Monster Shakedown Day!

Yep 25th - booked. B & B booked. Dog kennels booked. Way to my heart - Easter eggs.

Nick, U2U me cfmn you'll be there, with chocolate, and it will make my Easter.

right-o, will cfmn tomorrow. whatever that means!

CLOWN
:lol::lol::lol::lol:

Sorted. Or should I say - cfmned! :D

Can't wait to get going again.

Right - all booked up for Cadwell on the 25th March - DSC discount too!!! Nice one.

Tim

Were at Oulton on the 23rd so wont be booking the day but will try and get the 998 down to see you there boys and girls?

I take it that spectators are OK at track days? I am close enough to Cadwell to take a run over and say hi, but not sure if I am gong to be ready to book a track day myself on Good Friday. Tempting though it is! I'm intending getting a race fairing before going on the track as a bit of "insurance". :)

Henry

spectators are more than welcome henry.
please come and say 'ello... there'll be 3 of us there so far - you'll recognise us: one bloke with half a dozen suited n booted chaps following everywhere he goes, passing salutations such as "sir" or even "m'lord" his way at every opportunity; the other guy will be shaking uncontrolably and pleading for the arrival of mummy after being hung out to dry in the fast group on a m620; then you should find ruthie, you'll spot her easy by the bottle of champers in one hand and easer egg in the other.

:P:devil:

No spectator barring at trackdays.
Most trackdays on have a fair few watching for a bit of a day out.
No admission fees and you get to see some of your mates having a hoon round track.
Get ya interested enough to buy that track fairing and give it a go!

YOu know you wanna!

Beat me to it Nick

You're damn right, I do wanna!

Last time went to Cadwell was back in the 80s for the Classic races. Come to think of it, they were almost "current models" then, rather than Classics! :sniff:

If I remember right, the Paddock was like a gravel carpark ( a very poor one at that). Do they have garages etc now? I've seen pics of other tracks days on here with a garage full of bikes. Is that always the case with No Limits?

A good analogy of the paddock at that time was like an autojumble at the BMF!

Henry

They've tarmaced the paddock area at cadwell recently, and there's some bogs which sometimes work. Showers too, if memory serves!
No garages yet.

If there's garages at the venue, then they're always available for use, so seeing a garage full of bikes at somewhere like brands isn't exclusive to no limits. A track day is the best thing you'll have ever done henry, why not get booked up for good friday? You know it makes sense!

Yes Henry. Why don't you? Cadwell is great fun and the No Limits guys, keep things as safe as is humanly possible, IMHO. Also, you get a 10% discount on their prices if you tell them you're a DSC member. Ring Mark at No Limits and get yourself booked in.

WJB (DSC member) is instructing that day, amongst others. Just look out for a very short bloke in some rather scuffed NO LIMITS MJK leathers, speaks with a Scots accent and stands on a chair to be seen at the briefing.

:burn::burn::D

oi :lol::lol:

I resemble that remark!

Careful with the word 'very' short, my daughter is now taller than me which she reminds me about every day by calling me shorty or short arse and the leathers in question have now been repaired and actually say NO LIMITS as opposed to O LIM :lol:

Really looking forward to seeing everyone there and getting on the bike again round my favourite circuit. I'll stand on a chair especially for you Ruth, I know your eyesight is not what it used to be - shall I bring a laptop and projector so you can follow the words on the screen:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

BIGJohnyB

OK, I'm convinced. My wife is now telling me I should sign up for it. I'll sort it tomorrow.

Henry :sing:

Well that didn't take much persuasion did it!!
Nice one mate, see you there...

Don't know if you're riding there, but if you are then there'll be plenty in the way of tools and extra fuel to keep you happy. Just bring cakes! Oh, and red wine!
