Post by Milky »

deffo gonna start getting involved when i have myself a bigger bike. would someone mind explaining to me the basicas of track days. :oops:

i know you can rent bikes for them? can you use your own?..or would that not be a good idea..
do you have to have a full liscence? (im only 33bhp)

Not quite true, you can get seperate track day insurance, but make sure you shop around, I have seen prices ranging from £35 to hundreds of £'s.

Tom throw me your contact number and I'll drop you a line.

You really should come and do Llandow, because as Si said, best one to start off with, as it an easy track and its a very friendly atmosphere and you will know most peeps by then.
