You could be right.. But I noticed on a photo a few days ago that they had the 16a type sockets, I gave them a call and they confirmed... Maybe there are 13a ones too though

[HOW5ER]

after the 7th I'm done with Knockhill, sure you get nice days but I did a track day last September, it pissed it down all night, it was 9 degrees and dark before the session finished.

Yep I agree with the sentiment, but where are you gonna go without the costs and time to do it substantially increasing?

How much does it cost when you crash due to conditions?

Bottle of Lucozade and a Kit Kat for the energy to push it onto the public road and claim off your insurance...?

You can't blame the conditions for crashing! Only the riders lack of ability to adapt to them.

Its not the riding in the rain, its the cold, around there it can get really Baltic. We are getting close to freezing at night here, in a months time, count me out.
