Dam, I should have gone last year.

I would like to do it but don't fancy a 7 hour trip there and back.

Yep here too mate. There's a national speed limit road right next to me come over for a Sat or a Sun and your hear them all day long zooming up there!

Road to devils dyke in Brighton today around 180 mile round trip. Great ride out with TVAM had some good feed back today, the observers were saying I am riding well and to carry in like I am http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/05/10/e9362855fcb75eb20d9ee4e435d87b70.jpg ...

Yes its in a different venue altogether. It was at Bevercotes nr Mansfield last year. I guess they move it around to let others have a go.

Packed up the track bike. I've managed to fettle the leathers so I can do the fly's up with some pliers and the jacket with a key ring. Not practical for road riding but fine on the track.

Going to check Fridays forecast again and if it's still OK I will be booking Friday at Mallory.

Yes I remember very well you doing this last year Duke and fancied it myself but 7 hour return journey is putting me off.

Has the venue changed this year ?

They wont let me do it again. I think once you have done it once then places go to first timers first of all.

looks good, but a little too far to go, unless we book and get a car share going.

<r>Some may remember the photos of me covered in dirt after doing this last year.<br/> <br/> It was a huge amount of fun and a good taster for off road biking and all for only £30, and everything included on some decent off road bikes.<br/> <br/> The only downside i can see this year is that its ...

... a problem. If you were riding with anyone we alwYs dropped to single file when cars needed to pass. It's not rocket science. Respect for the other roads users and its your safety too! The attitude to cycling in NZ is awesome. It's a national past time. Then I moved Aussie. I was riding to work ...

... nicer all I see them do is ride 3 wide and don't even move out the way. The problem with a separate lane for cycles is that debris from other road users ends up in these cycle lanes causing things like punctures and the volume of cycling traffic is generally not enough to clear it in most ...

... with evidence. Over here ok we are lucky but some of the driving is absolutely shocking. I had a women, jot so long ago almost run me off the road because she was chatting away on her phone and didn't pay any attention to what was going on around her. I was so angry I slowed right down to ...

... to mention the shift assist is on that as well, up and down the box and no clutch is bloody amazing. Cost for the R sport is £11,495.00 on the road, for that I would also give you two year warranty, two years roadside assistance and Euro cover, I will even data tag your bike, fill it up with ...

... on, but you could do some serious miles in comfort for sure. Nice bike to ride, well priced, but me personally I still love my S 1000 R on the road it will take something special to get that off me 8)

Stop this is making me want a subway it's only down the road haven't had it for ages too easily a year and a half if not longer. Started to realise I ate too much when I went there haha!!

Grip wise they aren't as bad as you might expect in the wet, just bear in mind that the tread isn't designed to shift much water so I wouldn't use them on standing water. I used them (on the road) over two winters and never found them lacking as long as I was gentle for the first few miles.

Best of luck. Hope you banish your hoo-doo.

Bed for you here if you do mate.

... personally.... I've never spun up a back tyre as easy as the supercorsa in the wet... But then again I wouldn't do a wet track session on pilot Road 4 either.. Throw your dice if you feel lucky do a wet session! It may be dry so fingers crossed They take a bit more to warm up than all out Road ...
