    I think you may well have more fun on the MT03 there's no straight as such so big power isn't really needed (that's my hope anyway) I recon a little MT03 may well embarrass some bigger bikes on track which is always fun :-)
    Thanks Gerry, I could refit the stnd tail box but it's a bit of a faff as had to modify the tail tidy for the LV cans so will need to refit stand mudguard and tail light as well + the LV cans (together with the K&N) do seem to make a small but noticeable difference. It's good to hear that Llandow is a little more relaxed but don't want to use that as an excuse to take the pee or get it all the way there and not be able to ride.

    As for 'a little MT03 may well embarrass some bigger bikes' - maybe should insert 'well ridden' in there somewhere, it will need to be a 'steady' rider on a big bike for me to embarrass anyone other than myself! Should still be a laugh though ; )

    I'm sure it will be a good laugh, and should you happen to embarrass yourself (which I'm sure you won't) you would then belong to a small but select group of WB Llandow embarasees of which I was the second ;-)
    Hopefully this year the guy who does the briefing will have forgotten, and I'll escape the briefing without a special mention lol

    john never forgets.

    they don't do noise tests as such but do keep an eye out for any window rattlers. if you have a baffle take it along just in case.

    no fuel there so you would need a can with some in, unless you want to ride down into the local village (5 miles away) to top up.

    the day is run to normal motorsport regs, flag system, sighting laps etc. this is all explained in the riders briefing though.

    they like BOTH parts of your license to be presented when you go to sign in, so you have been warned.

    there is no cover there so dig out the hats etc if it's gonna be sunny.

    if you are nervous - ASK QUESTIONS, those that have done trackdays would have been in the same position you are so don't worry about it.
