  1. Noisy (108db) day so anything should pass........

    Anyone going?
     
  2. who's it with?
     
  3. I could be up for that to give my 899 road bike a run out
    Which organiser is it ?
     
  4. Hi buddy - focused events
     
  5. Its on my list need to give bike a first run out of the year. Thing is im still a bit unsure about the weather my old bones don't like the cold now.
     
  6. I was at donnington yesterday and it was wet :(
    I think we got the first session in the dry, and then just about dry-ish by the last session
     
  7. Just booked this one in inters
    First time on track on my 899, so lets hope I don't send it down the tarmac first session
    I've not got any wets for it yet, so let's hope it's a dry day

  8. Booking this one tomorrow, looks like the weather is improving, was going to be 12 degrees, now up to 15, probably be 9 degrees come Tuesday. A nice little steady run out before the bike goes off to Portimao at the end of April.
     
  9. Should be dry at least. Last week when I was there it was lashing it down
    What's the deal with garages with Focussed Events? Just turn up at 07:30 and grab one ?
     
  10. Im blowing this out now in favour of Cadwell on Saturday.
     
  11. Hello Graeme,
    Yes just turn up and get in where you can, I always try to go to the very far end, garages 1,2,or 3
     
  12. Hi Green - what bike will you be taking? Shall we all try for garage 1 if we get there early enough?
     
  13. I'll be up for that if we can get there early enough
    I'm staying up there Monday night now, so should be st the circuit for 7 ready for gates to open
     
  14. Spread out...............

  15. Hello Simon,
    Not sure you will want us in your garage, should be three of us all with RSV4 Factories. I usually try to get there for 7am so should be good for garage one. Not sure if we are staying over the night before yet, usually stay at the Melbourne View Hotel, then a curry at the Ghandi in Castle Donington. If not it will be an early drive up 4am to get there for 7am.
     
  16. To be honest I'll be on the RSV4 as well so should fit right in - though it will be its first time on track since running in. I'm coming up from Bristol (2hrs) in the morning but thank you for the invite.
     
  17. Four RSV4's in one garage, that will be a sight and sound. I have only booked in the novice group as I want to give myself and the bike an easy run out after my crash in September at Almeria. The bike was only finished being put back together this week and I haven't ridden since the off, so we will see. We are coming up from Exeter area, so three hours for us if we travel Tuesday morning, see you in garage one hopefully, we will be in a blue 65 plate VW Transporter.
     
  18. Cheers - I'm in inters - its a chrono day so I am sure it will shuffle round. I have some track fairings due hopefully before the weekend otherwise in RF bodywork.

    Will be in a blue BM and trailer.
     
  19. We should have one 2015 RF in road trim, and two 2014 Factories in black track bodywork, mine is still looking a little secondhand at the moment with some dodgy black track bodywork, need to decide on new fairings and colour scheme, not sure I do black.
     
  20. Is anyone from the Ducati forum taking a Ducati ? :)
    I'll be taking my ZX6R track bike, but I'll bring my 899 too for a bit of a run out
