Welcome to the site

And I am with you. Got a GSXR K1 600 for the track and that is plenty for the track days. But no way i trust myself to put the GSXR K7 1000 on track as would cry for a month if I binned it with no insurance.

Lots of good track days that this lovely lot go to.
Llandow is a great starter experience and social day
Pembrey flat but a great track.
I normally try and kick things off at the start of the year around April with Bedford again flat but great track.
I will be off to Barcelona in May with the crew and if the funds allow I think might need to venture back to Cadwell again later in the year as was good fun this year.

The advantage with you living in Newton is there are a lot of other folk around you on here so you can share the cost of vans and accommodation extra.

P.s. BMW1000RR ..... proper bike :-bd
Road Bike = BMW F900R SE (2020)
Track Bike = Kawasaki Ninja ZX636 (2019)

Trailer or Van.
Thanks to the forum user Network we talk to each other and then Travel up in shared vehicles.

Saves on cost as the bills and driving get split down that way.

Have a look in the track and Rideout section to see what's going on and when.

Failing that you can organise your own rideouts (we encourage this)

RE trackdays, if you see one advertised by any of the TDOs that you are interested in doing, post it up with the details. You never know who will want to tag along and have a play day.
