Wiltshire Bikers Trackday - never been on track? This could be your chance

[Moo]

Castle combe is ok as a local track but I find the biggest problem is the lack of track time as you get only 1 x 10min session per hour which includes 1 or more sighting/ warm up laps. The other issue is noise as their noise test is probably the strictest in the country where a lot of bikes with standard cans will fail which really ruins the day. Lovely circuit to ride though.

Trev /Dabz, It's good to encourage Toph, bet remember he's an ex racer (is there such a thing) so whilst I totally agree that you don't have to push out of your comfort zone, I suspect the chance of him "taking it easy" is slim :-)
I can sympathise lol

Moo, totally agree, but I can't see enough numbers willing to travel from the club, it's a pity as Cadwell, Oulton, Brands are just awesome.
It was Scotty encouraging me, Chappers & Laim to go to Brands Indy that got us hooked and have given us so many brilliant days over the last few years.

Good point, although so am I (albeit a long time ago and not a very good one!) and I've managed to tone down the competitive edge on the few trackdays I have done, the trick is to make sure you don't have a competitive bike ; )

You're probably right Gerry - I suspect getting Toph on track might unleash a beast!

Spot on post

I wonder whether we should be looking to join forces with swb and do a novice day in the summer?

What are people's thoughts?

[Trev]

Good post billinom8, I for one would be up for a shared day.

Good point on riding to the track, I've only done Thruxton and Castle Combe and always ridden, bloody knackered at the end of the day and Llandow would be way too far home for me at end of play (I live near Ringwood). I could probably use the company van but will need a hand heaving the bloody great lump of bike I will likely use in and out of it - unless noise regs allow a MT03 on Leo Vince cans ; )

Im happy to go with the majority vote, always have a good day with Simon and the SWBikers

[Dabz]

Maybe join forces with the SWB lot in the spring then and get some definite names down and money in the pot, and a date booked?

In the meantime the track day bunch can keep us up to date in the track days events forum with what they're up to and see what appetites they can wet?

[Wes]

Yep seems like a plan

[Last Train]

Yep, sounds good
