I raced with the FRC and went to Knockhill once in '92. Fog, howling winds, non-stop pissing rain and a fortune in diesel for nothing, why BSB want to go there is beyond me, what a sthole.

I must admit I think Scotland could do with another track, Knockhill is just a bit too short.

You went there once in 1992 when the weather was bad and therefore it's a sthole.

Brilliant.

what the fk did you expect Mediterranean heat waves?

I don't see why people hate knockhill so much. it brings motorsport north of the border once a year to me and it's great. the track is pretty good as well lots of riders seem to like it. a bit short but where else can you see 90 percent of the track at all times (brands hatch maybe) plus it's always well supported

if you don't like it don't go. it's hardly a 3 day yak ride anyway.

If anyone is able to give me a lift to this today it would be much appreciated! Was supposed to pick my bike up from eddie at ERS (knockhill) but haven't been able to get hold of him to see if it's done frown

Hasn't walker got a stall with the kawasakee stuff? You used to be able to get smiths triumph stuff online last year.

Bummer of a weekend for bridewell.

Brilliant day at Knockhill yesterday.

Apart from some quality racing (inparticular supersport and superstock), the noise of the Cross Plane R1 down the start / finish straight will stay with me forever!

Was a fantastic day. The motostar was probably my favorite race of them all. Those kds have absolutely no fear and were really fighting for overtakes bashing elbows and rubbing fairings together, not to mention the lovely smell of two smokers going max out!

The 600s were pretty mental too. Never seen a race with so many offs! The superstock 1000 was great to watch. Loved the exhaust noise that panigale made. What an awesome sound.
