South West Bikers | Motorcycle Forum

They're pretty much run through Phil Bevan. We did enquire about 10 years ago and they wanted 15k for the day.

1, and normal trackdays aren't ?
2, pay a bit more ride a proper track not a go kart track
3,no pressure on normal days, if there's enough people booked on your going to be in a group with mostly swb members and the odd few strangers
4, yep

Ask the guys who did Anglesey this year, they had a blast

Could put a bit of a sub on the price and pay an instructor?

I would if I knew of any

Copied off a quick google search:

To become a motorcycle track day instructor, you'll need to meet the following qualifications:

Does this google search specifically state Track Day Instructor? As stated by others the only instructors that I've seen on trackdays have been high level (ie. National Licence holding) racers. I'm pretty certain that these guys (sadly never saw a female instructor) weren't qualified to teach people how to pass their CBT and Mod tests.
Sadly it would appear that Llandow circuit's relatively new owners have had their wrists slapped over protocol regarding an injured participant on one of their events and decided that taking money from YouTube [Censored] in their cars is less hassle so that will be their main activity going forward.
Unfortunately it's their toy box so they can say who plays in it.

I'm surprised car owners want to use Llandow it's barely long enough for bikes.
Things go in cycles so give it a few years and that crowd may have moved on, and then those new owners may be forced to become more accommodating.

I wonder if westonzoyland is possible? Used to take mx bikes there.... maybe there's scope for some super moto or gymkhana sprint or similar short track stuff

That would be our event back in June.

Ha, see ya Llandow... been a pleassure but you know what, not going to fight to give you my money. Now make your thoughts perfectly clear so we're not left with false hope. TTFN.

They'll have to be extremely humble and cheap to entice us back if they're f'=+&*%^ us off so readily right now. I say cheerio...

Qualified instructor….. how do you learn to be one of those? Me personally would be interested.

Errr....no Rob ....reality check needed here

Phil Bevan is not doing Pembrey for 2025. Apparently Pembrey are doing it for themselves!

Good.

The riders briefings were unbearable.
