As for FE, doesn't sound good at all that they didn't have a medic to check you over, I'd be pretty concerned about that.

Surely that is the circuit not FEs responsibility?

According to the No Limits riders briefing the other night if anyone came off the marshals were instructed to cut off their wrist bands. They then had to be checked over and they wouldn't get new ones until the medics had signed them off. Based on what I'm reading here that approach seems like a good plan A

Been there and done that

Although I was only checked over by St Johns crew. I then had to go sign a waiver of some description before getting a new wristband

This was a long time ago though....probably 2003. It may have changed but I wouldn't know as I haven't crashed once since then

The marshals work for the circuit though, not NoLimits of FE. It's the circuits responsibility imo.

Come down with us John - meet scOtt etc ...I'm sure we can up the anti to nearer a full house !
Joking aside ( top lad really !) , how long down road are you thinking of running new bike in ( on roads ) and when going to strip and track bias it - open ended based on weather etc or ASAP ?

Doubt I'll make this Grahame, I'll start on the bike when its run in, I have nothing booked until July when I'm doing the R1-M track thing with a mate who's also bought one.

Had my first experience of Silverstone this week on the full GP circuit, and it certainly delivered. Easily my favourite track so far
Getting your knee down is so last year, as I nearly got my fat arse down

Full video of my arse bobbing around and me missing every apex and braking too early

Maybe I misread the briefing and it could be that No limits were just making us aware of the circuits policy. I know there is a lot more awareness of concussion and the after effects so maybe things will get tighter.

Hopefully Fleegle will keep us updated throughout the season as he seems to be the current leader of the BB crash test dummy's

At snetterton tomorrow, anyone else going?

[graeme4130]

Judging by the weather forecast for Silverstone on Thursday, I'll be bringing wets for the day and a snow plough for the first session...

[moanthebairns]

Pah tropical. I'm at Knockhill Thursday this is actually the best forecast I've seen.

I'll be running my Wets or at least a front regardless if it's dry or not. It's gonna be brrr

You and me both. I was there too - what a fast corner track! What group was you in as I didnt see you
