Hmmm, will call the van rental company, if they have a van I'm in ....
Cool. Hopefully see you there, although I dare say we won't share a group.
Seems like there will be a few of us there...I'll be wobbling around in the novice group.
I'll be in novice too. Green 06 ZX6R, Spidi leathers, bald head. Say hello.
Right am booked, inters, black Panigale with DibbleCorse logos ...
What’re you riding then Abdul?

I’ll be trying not to earn another red flag in novices

I think I'll take my white v2 Tuono.

I have my red daytona 600 still but prefer the grunt of the v2. It's hard to judge which is quicker. I may take the daytona to Silverstone on the 20th which is the international circuit.

I was at Brands Hatch on Tuesday. First visit there but really enjoyed the track. My R1 brakes ended up sucking air in from somewhere and so it ended up getting parked early as had no way of fixing it trackside.

Thankfully I had the foresight to take the shopping bike with me and I actually had a great day thrashing the CB500! Arguably more fun than if the R1 had been working

Going around the outside of more expensive, faster machines is always good fun!

Nice indeed, certainly will be easy enough to spot on Friday.

What’s the situation with garages now? Unlimited occupation or still max three each?

There were no limits in place when I did the GP circuit on July 20th with NL at Brands.

Bike ready for Croft in the morning. Got new fairings to go on but stuck the old scrappy ones on for now. Looks a mess but the bike underneath is decent for an old girl.

If you’re there come and say hello.

Thanks, that’s helpful, normally arrive quite late so I’ve half a chance then of finding a home for the day.

Cracking day, weather was glorious. Garages are busy, loads doing a double header so get there early if you want one. Enjoy.

If anyone is wondering where all the red flags have gone, they all seem to be here.

UK trackdays are a good exercise in saving petrol / drinking tea in my recent experience.
