    If you do decide to try Castle Combe again this year I am definitely in.

    I have booked all the Castle Combe trackday dates off this year (except for the one preceding the race meet as that is always full of racers) in the hope that I will be able to make 2 of them in decent weather

    Anyone thinking of trying a trackday I can't recommend it enough. Forget the 'track' bit of it, it's not racing, it will though teach you more than you can imagine about your bike, and your riding. I'm sure I learnt more in a couple of trackdays than I ever would have done on the road, some of the stuff I learnt I don't think I ever would have twigged, period.

    I'm happy with Llandow or Combe. I think newer (trackday) riders will have more fun at Llandow as it's a very friendly place and although it's short as you are busy 100% of the time 15 / 20 minute sessions is more than enough. No worries about noise either.

    I'm more than happy to take a gazebo, tools etc and help out too.

    Re the mention of the "Bus stop" and a problem I encountered there a couple of years ago, I only remember crossing the finish line in front of Moo and that's all that matters. Doing a somersault on the grass, my bike doing a somersault beside me, Moo skimming me as I crawled from the track on my knees are all completely forgotten as is the pain in my ribs and wallet ;-)

    Happy days :-)

    He he, I remember that day well Gerry

    Had my own Llandow moment at the fast chicane though last year when I hit a 3 foot cone which smashed the belly pan and gave a rush of brown adrenaline!

    The idea is to go past them, not through them.

    Duh!

    I did that the year before too, although I think we may have had the same excuse, the guy in front hitting the brakes really hard so he could "negotiate" the chicane at 35 MPH lol
