Just booked myself on Bedford 12th August 2024. I will be riding up from Bristol on the Sunday, stopping just along the road in Sharnbrook, riding back to Bristol on Tuesday 13th.

Have you checked the noise limits at Bedford or do you have a quieter pipe to put on (I think you said your's straight through) ?

It's been decatted, that's all. Still with the factory akra with dbkiller. I don't know how to check the noise level?

Re: Bedford trackday Mon 12th August 2024
Bedford is 101db static & 87.5db, which on the low side. For clarity they won't let you out if you're any louder. Most sound management in modern bikes is done by the cat, so it's reasonable to assume you may be over. Testing is done by engine configuration not all bikes are the same. The safest way is to get the bike checked prior too. Are you at Llandow because it'll be done there?. Other than that it means going to a track that has a trackday on to test.

I'll refit the cat it's the safest bet, its pretty quiet as standard. Too quiet in fact. Hope to be at Llandow I'm on the reserves list. Will ride their anyway to meet up.

Blyton Park didn't even test for noise.... but my ears were ringing on the straight with earplugs so probably safe to assume it's too noisy. And the other half has mentioned the neighbours etc

Re: Bedford trackday Mon 12th August 2024
Months to sort out detail, but are you intending to ride up/back? Are you stopping over up there?

Sounds like a plan. I need to get a spare fuel bottle. Was thinking of using a SIG bottle

Plus was low on oil after Blyton.... had to pay £16 for 1 litre. There's not a lot of oil in a LC4!
