Anyhow, still is new for a few of us...

questions about Castle Combe:

1) did anyone take their DD bike on one of their track days? Did it pass the noise test? Did it pass the MOT test?

2) Motorcycle Folly are running a track day there on the 23/4 - seems that they can get 4 groups out, rather than 6 . Anyone done a Folly day at CC - is it the practice day of choice for budding DDer's??

Cheers all

Yeah a lot of us went. We had fil2 with his bike suspended in a tree to replace one of the fork legs. Ali tried to kill people on the straight by shooting the baffle out of the back of one of his cans

There was no MOT test, they knew we were race bikes. The noise test was MUCH stricter than it is on raceday. They tested at 3/4 revs and nearly hed the SPM shoved inside the can! My DD bike with the Leo Vince cans passed fine.

The 620's seemed to go fine and the 675's were the ones that seemed to struggle the most. I'd suggest you get your hands on some DB killers if you plan on doing a track day.
