  1. Good man. Bring the Pantah :)
     
  2. With 50 bhp? I don't think so - Donington's more fun with 150 bhp.
     
  3. Oh I don't know. I've done a couple of track days and races on the little 50bhp, air cooled DD bike at Donnington and it was enormous fun! I've also done a couple of track days there on the 1098... which was also a lot of fun. :biggrin:

    Most circuits in the UK don't need massive bhp, just good handling bikes.

  4. Depends how long the straights are...
     
  5. And that only matters if you're a straight line merchant :wink:
     
  6. Which I clearly am....

    I'm doing a trackday at the endof the month, and even my Evo was flat out on the limiter for a few seconds last time...Phil taking his DD bike. My money is on a big bang moment
     
  7. Errr....No mate, you're super fast in the corners! :upyeah:

    I'd like to see you on the bigger bike, I'm guessing (like me) it'll play more to your strengths (athletic build :wink:) more than the DD bike.
     
  8. Looking forward to seeing if Craig can embarrass me on his 996 which he's been racing against my 848 which I havent. Better be dry! Lol
     
  9. Can I play too?

  13. Remember guys, no racing :rolleyes:
     
  14. Anyone had conformation of FE that they're booked on yet?
     
  15. I'm in too, yippee! Hopefully better weather than last year...... Hopefully no noise restrictions either, last year there was a sign on the wall saying 118dB limit! Excellent, no baffles then....... Hardly ever get to try the big bike in the UK because if the noise.....

    Pete, I will try the Manor House too this year if you promise no fighting over politics!

  16. I had to call and request a confirmation. I wanted to check and there was initially a problem :mad:
     
  17. Got a receipt through the post from JHP that's it
     
  18. If you book thru a dealer its just like buying a part or a service so reciept is what you get. Well it was last year
     
  19. OK, I have just booked in the Donington Manor Hotel now - £55 for a room.

  20. Pete, I just called them to check on parking for a car with trailer and a couple of expensive bikes and it didn't sound too convincing.

    Any other recommendations from people?
