A Biker Banter group trackday?

[Gavia]

A few years ago we used to have one trackday a year where as many of us as possible met up somewhere in the country.

It was like herding cats, so understand why it’s fallen away, but why not have another go at this, for those of us who do trackdays still amd maybe those wanting to try it for the first time.

The first argument is over circuit, which then leads to price and weekend vs weekday arguments. Sadly we’re never going to please everyone, but my thoughts would be

Circuit - somewhere that’s middle of the country to satisy southern and northern travel distance alike. Donington and Oulton are the two that spring to mind there. Calls for Rockingham or Mallory will be soundly derided, as both are pretty crap for different reasons. Silverstone isn’t available this year and even I baulk at the cost of that.

Anglesey is an option, as there are often weekend dates, although that pushes the price up to c£150 and it’s a long way for everyone to travel.

We could do a double header, either at one circuit (Oulton in Aug), or do two circuits on consecutive days for those who want to make their trips more viable.

Thoughts, or am I dreaming?

I'll do it, not ridden on track for almost 2 years now.

[BobSaunders]

I'll get involved. Weekend or weekday. Outlon preferred. No limits please! Novice class.

Probably would hire a bike from Matt @ S-B's.

[MotorsportTom]

I'm keen to get involved if the dates work out for me!

Really want to use the track bike seeing as its just sat for 3 months since purchasing it.

[clen666]

I’m up for it, although I have my first kid on the way end of June so may struggle if it’s around that time.

August onwards I should be fine (yes, I have a lot to learn....)

[mckeann]

A trackday, with you cuunts? Nahhhhh, no thanks

[Biker's Nemesis]

Croft or Knockhill is handy for me.

[mckeann]

Aragon or Estoril or Le Mans or Nurburgring or Spa or Zandvoort or Mugello or Assen or Brno or Slovakiaring is fine by me.




Or Croft.

[Esceptico]

I would love to try Crofts but the thought of 200 miles slog a bit off putting.

Plus I am .

[mckeann]

Croft Is my nearest English track. It's 200 miles. Stop being such a pussy

[STe_rsv4]

That's croft for me too!
You southerners are already outvoted!

[Jazoli]

Croft is closer than Oulton for me, but I'm not fussy.

Ok. Will be half a pussy - I will try
To join but will rent a bike so I can drive up in Comfort.

[jock mcsporran]

I'd be interested. Only done a few trackdays but bought a track hack over the winter so trying to make sure I use it.
I'm Yorkshire at weekends but work in Aberdeen so Friday thru Monday would work for any of they days.

[hebegb]

Yep - anywhere for me .

[bogie]

Donny or Cadwell an hour away, Oulton 2 hours...any fine

[STe_rsv4]

Only thing is doesn't croft only have something like 99db limit or something? I know cadwell is 105 and I only just scraped thro last time on my old cbr600

[Birky_41]

I'm keen but croft ain't middle. I'm Essex and that place is 260 miles from me... Looooong

Apart from the Croft bit!

[graeme4130]

I’d be up for this
Oulton’s good for me too, as about 3hrs north from me
