Brilliant day, brilliant people, brilliant track.

Awful journey home, £60 ticket for doing 80mph in the 3rd lane with the trailer, I didn't know about that law. But then the law must be known by everybody, even the froggies...

Tonio I didn't even realise you were there.... sorry!

I just want to say a huge thanks to everyone who came up to try the North's (possibly the UK's best circuit ) and to everyone who came up the night before for the BBQ.

It was great to see everyone again, thanks to Ian for doing the food after I began socialising, Nick for the Gnome!! LOL!! and everyone else for the various bottles of wine and beer to make the evening flow....

The TD itself was fantastic, I was gutted with the weather in the morning really thought it might not of cleared up for a while, but when it did the fun began and everyone seemed to be really enjoying themselves with tales of small dices up and down the field.

As far as I am aware only one small incident the whole day which didn't stop them getting out later anyway.

And finally one HUGE big thanks to No Limits and the boys (and girls) as ever for a fantastically run day without them and Mark's assistance yesterday would never of happened, thanks

This TD was on my wish list for this year. In the end I had to pass on it because it would have cost me a mighty amount of money.

Not only would I have needed to pay for the day and somewhere to stay but my T8 needs a few hundred quids worth of TD fairings in case the unthinkable happened to the unobtainable and since riding the T8 I've also found that my leathers are too short in the body and get really tight on my neck and shoulders (never noticed it sitting more upright on an ST) unless I leave them unzipped from the trews - obviously a no no for a TD

So with TD, accomodation, TD fairings and even cheap new leathers I'd have been looking at over a grand to get out there...oh well...there's always next year.

Even more gutted now I've seen the pics, looks like a brilliant day was had by all.

Just want to add my thanks to everyone for this one.. too many to mention everyone, but thanks anyway!

I had a cracking day out, left home at 5:30am to ride up in the morning, did the trackday on probably the best circuit in the country, and rode home again. As with Ian, I have aches all over the place but once the circuit dried out properly it was awesome, well worth the money.

Cheers
Martin

Huge thanks to Lily & Jon for hosting a lovely gathering on Tues night - great food & also great company.
Thanks also for offering your lounge floor for us to camp on, rather than us having to unload the bike from the van so we (and Bones) could kip indoors, much much appreciated.
Big round of applause goes to Ian (DSR) for his fantastic chilli burgers best I've had EVER! - so - where is the recipe then?????

Had a great day at the track in my usual guise of 'camp slob' whilst AK was flitting about fettling bits & bobs.
Good to eventually meet Gizmo & Lindsay - as well as catching up once again with novern chums BDG, Martin (who should have brought other tyres apart from slicks eh for the morning? ) and other happy 'regular' faces- including my little donut chum again

Urban & Paul James overtook us on the way home, but despite looking out for Roof, we didnt see you burd.

Dickie was obviously 'having a focussing time' on the M1, as we shot past waving out of the van window - you didnt even raise an eyebrow mate - must have been on auto pilot

Cheers to one & all for the great norvern spirit - cant wait to see some of you again when we come up to race next week!

Sorry to hear about your right foot being heavy Tonio - no trailers in the 'fast lane' nit!

[Grib]

That place is a bit scary in the wet
Great day, still no idea where the track goes and a bit apprehensive about racing there, but I'll give it a shot anyway Nice to see a load of the DD lot out there chasing round, Fil2 was flying, going to be a good battle at the top

[dickieducati]

yes a big thanks to lily and jpm for their hospitality (loved the house), and for getting so many dsc'ers together.

great evening before the trackday, great track. just a shame its 4 hours from me. well worth the visit though.

Too true... You looked bored senseless on the M6 when we came past on the way home...
