Smeatharp

Post by Red5 »

Hi folks,
Just wondering does anybody know what the deal is at Smeatharp regards taking your bike for a little test run on the old runways?? Guessing it's probably frowned upon in the strictest possible sense but wondered if we know if it's accepted so long as no one's bothering the locals all day every day or if it really upsets the locals and the police rock up.
Not looking to set any land speed records or anything silly but more of just a 10 minutes riding around to check the bike over before finding out its buggered after paying for a full track day :ymhug: :D
Thinking forgiveness is easier to get than permission... O:-) O:-) O:-) O:-)

You could contact this guy as he uses part of the runway to do CBT training, maybe he could arrange permission for you.
