First Track Day

[Mikiboy]

I dont want to put you off Mallory but if you crash there it can hurt.
Rocky National is brilliant for 400's.
Cadwell is good for any bike but another place not to crash.

Mallory used to flow but its too stop start these days and very Micky Mouse. I am still a bit bust up after being taken out 3 years ago

ooohh, sweet. Cheers for the info guys. Need to save up over summer to travel down and go to a trackday. I like the idea of cadwell and rockingham, will just need to wait and see how well I can save up lol

It is MSV traks that you 100% cannot do on a restricted licence.

You can ask the TDO about 33bhp licence ofr the non MSV tracks and I'll bet most of them are happy to have you.

Nice one, good pic.

Bit of an odd question (hope you dont mind my asking) but what license do you have. Im on 33bhp lic just now and cant seem to find any track days that will let me on

I'm restricted aswell. Till Jan 2011. My friend and I were stressing about this for ages. Some companies are alot stricter but the plan was just to rock up on the day and hope for the best. Got lucky cos it's earlier in the year I spose. Even if I didn't get on it would have been a good day out.

Whoever said ring up, I wouldn't bother because they'll all have to say no. I tried, made out I was my own dad asking for his son.

I think you can do Lydden Hill on a restricted licence.
Dickdastardly, I was actually at Pembrey for a bit on Saturday and saw you there on track - was out for a cycle ride with a couple of friends with our aim being Pembrey Park, on the way I remembered it was the Met's trackday so came to the track for a bit. Did Owen sort out the 600?

Ah cool... Small world. Yeah, the RR was out and got a bit of data for it but the wheel speed sensors weren't working too well down at the lower speeds and the shock sensor fell off and was dangling around for abit... all before the peg on the gear change lever fell off, brake fluid reservoir mounting bolt came off and the sprocket carrier nut came out! Dodgey second year students putting things back together in a rush. It's getting a proper build at the moment. He had the R6 that the uni recently bought aswell. Just taking it easy till we get some track fairing for it. How are you linked to the Met or know Owen?

I've got a place on the course for second year entry starting in September although I may defer it depending on whether I finish my current degree.

Ah awesome... Definitely come if you can. Lots of pretty sweet prospects. Really good atmosphere aswell.
