Can't say I'm that arsed at 25 quid. The scars will be enough memory for me!

Just worked out I've not ridden a bike for 10 months, really really looking forward to this.

Do we know what type of clothing equipment they provide. Is it leathers or just motox style gear? Just wondering whether to bring my old one piece suit.

As to the dvd, if i was able to go round like Marquez i might have considered it :D

I'd recommend everyone checks out where this place is on google maps, its in the middle of nowhere on top of a fecking moor. :D

No idea what they provide beyond what is in that email they sent me.

If you've got some old leathers and you're happy wearing them then go for it.

I might wear my brand new one piece. Turning up to do a track day at Mallory or Donny with dirt covered leathers should give me loads of room on the track :D

Stick these GPS co-ordinates in your satnav

53°13'14.8"N 1°55'01.4"W

53.220781, -1.917045

There both identical coordinated just the format differs and I'm not sure what format the satnav will take them in but they work on google maps.

Tbh I don't believe forecasts much and even if there is a few showers can't see it being a problem its not like there is any grip in the dry anyway.

I'm not bothered of a few showers tbh. I'll just pack a towel and pry to the rain gods the night before and then one way or another its covered.

They've told me a bit of wet isn't an issue. It's if they've had rain for a long time when they need to be careful as it turns to thick mud.

I've sent an email off with the sizes you've given. I'll let you know if they need any more details.

I'm looking forward to this.

The interesting thing is if its rains in professional speedway, they call the meeting off. Hopefully a bit of rain may make it easier for us to learn to slide.

i/we booked a speedway day in scarborough last year, and they rang us to cancel it the day before because it had rained too much.

Gutted I can't be there with you guys.

Rest assured I'll be having just as much fun controlling entry to one of Her Majesty's finest flying establishments.

Just as much fun...
