Hi all,
A question for all those of you who have been to Llandow before, how strict are they on noise limits?
The circuit website quotes a 105db limit, is this tested/enforced, should I stick the standard pipework back on my bike?
With a cheapy Maplins db meter my Firestorm was reading 110db at tickover!
Thanks in advance for any information provided.

Re: Llandow noise limits
It's not an enforced limit with testing, it's just so people dont go on with stupidly loud slash cuts and annoy the locals, therefore have to enforce a limit/risk closure. If it was tested, the 105DB limit would be 2 foot away at a 45 degree angle, so retest your bike this way.

It also depends on capacity and number of cylinders to set the rpm the test should be done at, unless the circuit has its own slant on testing like Combe.
#152 Straights are for fast bikes. Corners are for fast riders

Oh yeah forgot to mention that. 1000cc V-Twin is 5,000RPM I believe.layne wrote:It also depends on capacity and number of cylinders to set the rpm the test should be done at, unless the circuit has its own slant on testing like Combe.

Re: Llandow noise limits
Although my bike is naturally quite quiet, being a 1000cc V-Twin, I have never had a problem with noise at Llandow, and to be honest short of running slash-cut's I'm yet to find a super-chicken that creates a deeper note than a TL 
Of all the things I have ever lost, I miss my mind the most .....

Re: Llandow noise limits
They've never tested any of us in years past at Llandow.
