Very nice ride Andy 8) 8) 8) Went there in May for the first time and was gobsmacked :shock: :shock: Proper petrol head heaven. Went with a group of lads off my car forum :oops: and managed a 8:10 in a friends car 8) 8.10 on your first trip is incredibly fast, what car was it?? do you have a vid? A...

it was a CBR400 and whilst I couldn't possibly comment on whether or not it was restricted I should point out that the 33bhp restriction does not have connected withit any maximum speed limit and will obviously vary from bike to bike. I have personally seen a restricted bike still be capable of doin...

That looks fab. Isn't all that writing on the circuit slippery in the wet ?? When its wet the whole track is VERY slippery and not fun at all (but the writing itself isn't any more slippery than the rest of the track). I got lucky with the weather this year as after a first day of constant on/off s...

Don't want to bore you all too much but thought I'd post up a video from my recent trip to the ring. Unfortunately I only managed to mount my "covert" camera facing backwards which makes for an unusual video lap but I was still pleased with the result.......a bridge to gantry time of 8.59 ...

hey andrew, long time no see. I hope you are keeping well. Actually You'd be surprised - I have been wearing leathers way more often than not recently (but dont tell any of the gear nazis :lol: ) yeah I'm alright mate, going to be trying to put a lot more biking miles in this year so you should see...

I wear full leathers some of the time but sometimes I choose not to.

BLOODY HELL I don't beleive it Jason. Surely leathers would restrict your movement too much - i know how vital standing up is to your riding style

Layne - goodwood over the ring thats a poor excuse mate. Will say hi to Bren for you but might hold back on the huigs and kisses as I haven't met him before just know him from http://www.northloop.co.uk - looking forward to receiving some tips from him though - probably along the lines of "stop...

Hi All Been awhile since I've been on the site (bet you all thought / hoped I was gone for good :wink: ) Anyway I'm now back frm Oz (well actually posting this whilst in Bangkok - bloody work!!) and looking to put some miles on my bike.

Hi All Right thanks to a promotion at work and some imaginative accounting skills I have decided that I can afford a (much needed) trip to the ring as well as a wedding this year I know a few people were talking about doing trips this year (I know Jay will be going but he has no dates). What I want ...

having trouble with a bass amplifier, the potentiometer that controls the master volume is a bit iffy - at first i thought it was the connections to the pcb as the foil on the board was broken, however I soldered a "bridge" over this and araldited over, but am still having problems. If I ...
