Brands 20th - whos going?
 

license sent off today so can now book it, I know a few are going, so who??

Should be a good test....

Nah,....... six days later on a proper mans track. :D :lol:

Ghost]Nah,....... six days later on a old mans track. :D :lol:


should join us at brands young mans track :lol:

Booked in for 1st outing on the bike :eek:

I've taken the following week off too, who knows I may turn up at that mans track for a go too ;)

You don't need the week off Paul its on a Saturday. But if Paddock Hill claims you again you might need the week off. :D

great minds think alike ;)

and may need the extra practice to make sure everything if repaired properly!! :lol:

It would be good to join you all. But Brands is 125 miles each way for me, Oulton is 90 but Jan lives 12 miles from the circuit, so its no contest really.

Plus I'm going to get the flying pieman to pull me around. :D

Get up to oulton Bradders, you'll love it and you NEED to learn it.;)

I know Foulstons chicane a bit better than I would like to and prefered the circuit without Hizzys the run down from Hilltop, through knickerbrook and up Clay Hill was really good fun on my Ex V&M racing CBR600

Then again the drop down paddock hill on it was pretty exhilarating :)

if funds allow....long way tho 240 ish miles just to get there

Brands is a touch too far for me just for testing so i shall stick with the real mans track Cadwell for my testing as its only 20 mins up the road for me :)

Snetterton 300 for me on Sunday 27th.. Just 35miles away and need to run the bike in, test out the suspension mods etc.

Be good to see/try the new layout too :)

Brands on 20th for me. First run out of the bike. Only about 10miles down the road from me.

Would have liked to try out Oulton, but just can't justify the distance when it will be wet and cold!

will be at brands for the sat and sunday

Oh yes, with the stop watch for.....The Dentist, Bradders and the Craigster + Senna of course :D

Brands followed by Oulton for me.

:o

Mark,

I might come along to say hello but the bike is still in a million pieces so no chance of riding it!

Wet and cold up our neck 'o th' woods??? That's unusual.

Southern softie!

timetable is posted on Hottrax for this now, no reason for an early start for some!!

at least the frost will be clear :)

Thanks for the timetable. Looks like we will have plenty of time to get the tyres sorted.

Mark
:)

10:45 start?!!... I might go back home to bed after registration!

anyone else? Weather imporving daily, and license should turn up tomorrow so I'll be booking then!!

Heheheheheheheheh :)

11C and only 50% cloud cover by midday... I could cope with that.

drop in Graham, we sholud have a kettle on somewhere

bring on a 59 :D :burn: :biaggi:

licence arrived :D

best book then :burn:

cant wait..............

Good luck all, hope the weather is kind. Got my tyres mounted yesterday, they do feel nice and soft, front rubber seems a little harder tho', but I think I'm going to enjoy using them.

Phil, while fitting the tyres did you notice that although they are the same size as the Pirelli's the front's profile is more shallow and the rear measures more like a 170 ?

Certainly noticed the rear

Always the case with Dunlops which is why we tested the 150 and the 160 at Donington at Dunlops request to see which suited our bikes the best, Basically I was off the edge of the 150 in timed practice, where as Steve and Andy who used the 160 tyre still had the best part of a centimeter left,

Just had the phone call so I am heading off towards Holbeach late this afternoon to meet up with Mark and get a van load (as in wont fit in the car) of tyres off him.
Bit last minute.com which I'm not that happy about but at least I'll have them to take to Brands

Weather still holding at 10C and dry.... Should get a decent feeling for things if it does stay like that.

I'm doing a rain dance as we speak...

Don't want you getting too much practice !!!

It could be a 15/15 day......................

15mm of rain int morning, n 15mph winds too. Looking on the bright side, you could all huddle together to keep warm in the morning and then scrub the tyres in during the damp afternoon session.:p

I'm on old tyres anyway so better be dry!!

You want me to get more practice in the rain?.... That wouldn't be fair on you. Are you going to nip down and be my pit b*tch Neal?!

The only site that seems to predict things absolutely correctly (worked the whole of last year) is this one http://www.netweather.tv at an unpredictable Pembrey and Cadwell it was spot on. Best not to trust it too much until a day before though.

Well, my bike is running and has new tyres, but it will remain unpainted until after the test day (maybe for the best!)

where as Steve and Andy who used the 160 tyre still had the best part of a centimeter left,


They had chicken strips. :o

Better tell them that you can't get a refund on any unused rubber. :lol:

Not sure I should go as I'm all tyred out :lol: :p

They might get a better second hand price though?....

are you sure your not from "up Norf". ;)
