Proposed PH Track Day - Silverstone GP 30th April

[scobby17]

UPDATE - Now full - 2/4/07



I am on this one and wondered who would be interested.

As usual I am happy to speak to Focused and get a deal if enough of us get together.
The deal is 10% off if paid in one lump sum. There is also free WSB tickets when you book.

Currently going are:

Scooby 17 / zx10 / fast group
Jamie / ZX9 / Fast group
Brendan / R1 / Fast group

I will of course be available for instruction if anyone wants.


If anyone feels happier booking directly with Focused then please feel free, (although it will cost £129), but let me know so I can add you on the PH list.

Hope this OK with everyone?

Tempted but i've done Silverstone twice now - thinking my next may have to be somewhere different, like Brands.

[Miss Self]

I'm up for a track day, I've never been before.

Always up for Mallory Park cos it's round the corner from me!

[oggs]

Might have my licence and bike by then so i'm a possible

[sammy_bibs]

I,

Sign me up. Just did Silverstone last Sunday! Awsome track (was my 1st) Ground my pegs on my CBR to bits though, but what a rust leaving a trail of sparks behind oneself! Will start Begginer group to see how it goes, as last time was flying past all by midday! (to much bottle, little sense!) even on my old 95 plate CBR :

Sam

Also I will most likely be attending Silverstone on the 9th Apr to (easter mon) if anyone is going?

Might well be up for this - just wondering about getting some track day fairing but then I'll also need some transport for the bike so doubt this is an option. Anybody know the cost of a bike trailor?

I just don't want to throw the bike down the road again

S2B,

Bike trailers typically range from around £100 (ebay) to about £400 new. Useful to have one if you have the space to store it. Some of the single bike trailers are collapsible, so fold away into the corner of the garage.

Usually have some room in the van depending where you are. I travel from essex so if on the way can make a detour.

I bought a good quality 3 biker for £300 from ebay last year.

[Silent1]

Possible if i get my bike by then

Silent1 - CBR600RR - First Trackday so i guess Speshul Class

[virgil]

If I'm right in thinking that's a Monday, I'm pretty sure I am free and would love to come, so unless something work related comes up, count me in!

Right, at the moment this is the list we have. Should be get 10 of the possibles to be definites then I can arrange a 10% discount direct with Focused, but it needs to be paid in 1 lump. Will also arrange a PH garage so we can all get to know each other.

So who in the possibles if deffo, also let me know bike and group if you have not already.

Thanks

I'm booking the day off, so class me as a definate. Few questions though:

1. How do I pay - happy to pay you directly.
2. What time does it start? - Do I have to get there the night before for early start (coming from south east essex)
3. Presume, depending on 2 above, it is perfectly viable to ride to and from and I don't have to trailer the bike there/back?
4. What does one do about intruction/advice? - First track day for me and i'll be slower than a slow thing, and will prefer not to crash :-)

Happy to chip in for a garage to be part of the PH team!

Cheers,

Virgil.
