Bring your own petrol, a petrol jug, a tyre pressure gauge and a track/foot pump. You will also need a front brake lever protector, they are I believe, now mandatory. If you have paddock stands, bring them along too. Being a Ducati day, there'll be someone in your garage with tools plus a few dealers will be there. Andy
I take it there's a petrol pump at the circuit? Usually 20% more expensive than ones in the real world though if the one at Snetters is anything to go by
Hi everyone - would love to come and join and meet up........... Cookster - is this likely to be the case re inters/advanced? I don't want to book advanced and get in the way of any regulars. I usually run inters, or occasionally quick group if it's a classic bike/pre2000 day (without the 200bhp guided missiles). Never done a Ducati day though. But I've done Donnie several times and know which way the corners go so generally happy with that. Just don't want to be "that" guy getting in the way. Is it usually a bit more relaxed as opposed to many of the testosterone fuelled days that seem to be the norm these days ? Hence why I often go for the classic days - they do seem more relaxed
I usually run mid inters on normal track days mate but other than the racers thar turn up to the ducati days I have no problem running in the fast group.
Well, I left that one too late. All booked up now, although on the reserve list...... If anyone has a place and they can't make it, just let me know and happy to transfer/pay.
Sounds grim, travelodge or someat, there bound to be a layby on a A road you could probably squeeze in close by. Enjoy.
Funny time at the mo. Sure I have in the past, but normally they have some info on the MSV site about camping
Does anyone know what the exact definition is of a 'full length' back protector? I've bought some 2-piece RST Tracktech 4 leathers and the back protector seems pretty substantial and covers most of my back. Assume this will be fine reading the FAQs on the MSVT site.
Here, https://www.mcgearhub.com/motorcycle-armor/best-back-protectors-guide-updated-reviews/, is a fairly basic article that has some information in it. Strictly speaking, a full length back protector should cover from the thoracic area of your spine to the coccyx. In practice, this is difficult for a 2 piece set of leathers. So long as your back protector fills the pocket in your jacket, you can do no more. Have to say, none of my kit has ever been inspected, even the ACU sticker on my helmet. Andy
Agree. Although back protector has become "law" along with brake guards for UK/Euro track days, I have never been "checked" and frankly, where and when would that ever happen during the event? Apart from that, it makes sense anyway to wear one, whatever riding you are doing.
