What about that road we've been on a few times around Redditch way the one with that crazy left bend that caught me out the first time I followed you there lolKwacky wrote:Cheers Duke. I'll bear that in mind if it's still an issue by then
Perkles, I think some Redditch roundabout time might be worth it.

That's the clover leaf. That's ace. I love that. Sadly so do the Police.

Re: Switching from Road to Track
I love this video on Donny. I appreciate some may tire of my Ducati bias but this bike makes about 124 bhp at the crank.
Yet this rider seems to be able to blitz everyone when he decides to and looks so in control and comfortable doing it. Just shows what being a fast rider really is all about.

Re: Switching from Road to Track
Kwack, P3rkles. Let me know when you go to Mallory, I'm coming along. Not been on a track in around 5 years. I'd probably book novices too....Rich, I'll pop a camera on the bike and follow you around. You'll see exactly where you can improve for yourself.

Re: Switching from Road to Track
Perkles, when you off? I'll look at some dates.
Roadrace, that'll be ace. Can we smoke roll ups while you're telling me how crap I am?

I'm struggling to find anything for that week. Nothing showing for Mallory. Focused Events are there on the Friday before.

Re: Switching from Road to Track
There's Saturday 30th August or Saturday 13th Sept, both for £115 but that's 98dB. Would your bike pass that?

Re: Switching from Road to Track
Test it same as they did to you last time and see what it reads at. I reckon it might be lower than 98 db

Switching from Road to Track
How about another track? There are turns on them all :-p
If it's north of Brum, I could hire a LWB van and pick you both up en route. Make a couple of days of it.
Thoughts?
Do Mike and Jon still have bikes?
I unhooked that caravan at a motorway services and drove off when I'd finished with it. Proper Steptoe stylee! :-D

Re: Switching from Road to Track
They both have bikes. Jon was on here a few weeks ago asking about Donny.
