    Southwestbikers have one every year at Llandau, S.Wales.

    This year is 5th June...3 groups of 16...fast / inter / novice.

    It is their members only unless not filled by 1st Feb when we usually get an invite. You could also join SWB and book in direct.

    Tiz very popular and friendly. Several from here have been.

    Me and Kata are booked, Wes normally comes along. Only £65 and always a good day out (apart from last years weather). Like Larry said if you want to make sure you get a place just sign up to southwest bikers forum.

    a slight detour on the subject - i looked a while ago regarding road use exhausts and noise, it seems to be pegged at 96db but can't find if thats at a particuler rev range/speed. i have bs/eu stamped road/race cans on at the moment with removable db killers and with the killers out according to my phone app (probably not accurate) at idle they read 83db and at 2000 rpm they are 89db at 1mtr . obviously they get louder when the taps are open.
    does any one know what the parameters are for testing noise levels ?

    A couple of us (at least) will be doing Castle Combe a couple of times this season and you are welcome to join us.
    We will have a couple of gazebos and a kettle :-)
    Although Combe is bumpy and a bit short (although not as short as LLandow) i always gave good fun there.
    Are you on WB Facebook ? keep an eye out there.
    Cheers

    OK if they have a FULL zip (270° I think). Also noise levels are checked.

    I like Combe myself, down sides are 10 minutes on track each hour, and as stated noise testing fails loads of bikes even with standard road exhausts fitted. Tyres will still be pretty much useless for road use afterwards unless they were all but new to start with.( you see quite a few police vehicles near combe on a Wednesday afternoon. Much better to try and share a van, or tow a trailer as bikes are known to go pop.
