With Brands coming up its just an excuse to get out and make sure everything is working ok. Oooh and have some fun too.

Feel free to pop by and say hello Yellow DD bike #69.

Are there garages etc available ? Never been to Silverstone before.

Mark.

Garages are good as you would expect from FI pits etc if they are open/built!! Restaurant just at the back of them and good easy acces in and out again subject to JCB's etc.

I'll more than likely say hello as not sure if my bikes going to be ready yet.

Skids and co usually grab a garage or two at the far end near to copse( 1st corner)/pit lane exit
The current pits/garages have not been touched as they will build a new complex between Club and Abbey next winter for F1

Well it's now official the bike will not be ready in time Parts arrived in good time or so they thought but ony inlet valves so after a suggestion to phone dealers it would appear they are like hens teeth and JHP has got 10 on backorder.

So I find myself without a bike a trackday that was not as advertised and no idea of when the bike will be fixed

Oh and I wrote to FE and have not heard anything so it looks like I'll be driving up guys so see you all there.

I'll maybe call in to see who is about if I get the chance.

I'm on the Stowe circuit doing a sprint, at least if it rains I'll have a roof over my head

To be honest Gordon I don't really know but all that has been mentioned is the valves, again not sure which ones. Do you have a stah hidden away then?

Craig that puddle is just like the one inside the garage today

It never rains but it pours, WET WET WET and my 998R and Phil the Drills 999 obviously don't like splashing through puddles.

Well done for those that did most of the sesions on road tyres, Andy Sheppard out on his 848 in the fast group, almost everybody else in the group was on full wets, same goes for Tom Parkes out in the inters on his DD bike on Rossos while everyone around him was on wets, Nev748 out in Novices on my old 748, only his third trackday and again keeping it upright on road tyres.
Great to see everyone today, shame the weather didn't play ball.
