Last time i went to castle coombe, you take your bike in there noise hut, where you rev it to 8000rpm and they stick something down your exhaust to see how loud it is...and this was on a standard can..

Do you remember what it measured at?

mw rang Castle Combe today and they said the noise limit for Wednesday was 105 as well. I'd think we'd be ok for that but I'm more curious about the requirement to be up to current MOT standard!

Has anyone taken them up on this? I've been meaning to ring them this week ...

I find that hard to believe, coz how many trackday addicts would have a bike with an MOT?

I would understand it better, if they mean a bike which would pass scrutneering standards, but as most people wouldn't know what that was, they've used MOT as a recognised standard?

Thanks Ian, is it safe to assume this was an R1 with standard cans? Or an R6?
