I'll be on my trusty M1000

[nbatty3]

thats ok
monster it will be then!!:thumbsup:
i'll look at booking after my holiday!!!

[bigredduke]

Just downloaded a plan of the track (keen eh?) will it be the full track or just the oval?

[fatbloke]

Full circuit with the exception of the new chicane on Gerrads

[Headhunter]

I know this is going to sound really dumb to most, so forgive my ignorance.

I've never done a track day before and may well do one day - maybe even this year's.

Question is re tyres. For a track day if the weather is good I assume you guys would naturally use slicks. Now obviously you can't ride up there with slicks on, so do they provide a service at the track day where they change your tyres from road to slicks and vice versa?

[Scotty]

no need for that
id guess that 99.9% of people on th ukmoc track day will be on road tyres

as an example of the adequatness of road tyres the Desmo Due race seres run by the DSC run roadtyres (and not a super sticky one at that)

[Headhunter]

Cheers Scotty!

Terry, cheers for your voicemail. I've just sent you a pm.

Didn't see the date it's on, so can't do this year's event. Will definitely be up for the next one though. Sounds like it'll be a good laugh!

[bigredduke]

What facilities (if any) are available for folks camping on the Thursday night? Is there somewhere to get breakfast or a hot drink on the Friday morning? I'm too old to completely rough it!

[crust]

You've got a choice

You can camp on the lawn behind the pub beside the track.

Or you can camp in the paddock, supposedly the gate to the paddock is locked at 10.00 ish, so in theory you'd have to climb over the fence.

However last year the gate was still open when we left the pub a little-ish after 10.00 when the pub closed.

There's a cafe in the pits. Not sure what time it opens but I think it does a breakfast.

[Martin C]

I live a pleasant 30 minute ride from Mallory, so maybe I'll go. The trouble is, I'm a really crap, cowardly rider even on the road...! Plus I still think as though my bikes have drum brakes (one still does) and believe the tyres only hold to the road when fully vertical.

It doesn't matter, sign yourself into the novice group and just enjoy! I bet you will come away with a big smile on your face. :mand:

[duke900]

what are the times of the venue, live in manchester will need to get back for 5pm

[fatbloke]

what are the times of the venue, live in manchester will need to get back for 5pm
sessions start around 9 and and go on till about 5ish, but you're free to leave anytime
as long as its between sessions, because at Mallory you have to use the track to exit
the paddock.

[danwilliams]

mand looks hot! mallory is a wicked track, ive raced it for years on sidecars and its just the b*ll*cks. gerrards is such a gd bend. if the esses are in full use without the wussie addition of 'edwinas' curves i mite take a ride down. the hairpin is tight but you get such good drive down to the devils elbow (EXTREME FUN ON A SIDECAR) then the home straight. love it......

[Chris & Nean]

I would love to attend, does Nean have to pay anything? she wont be riding of course, and who and how do I pay, and whats the latest kind of date to decide if we come before the event because theres always uncertanty about dates when we be on our summer hols etc.

[fatbloke]

All spectators are very welcome and of course its free to attend.
I need to get as many bookings as soon as possible coz i need to
pay for it before the event

What Do We Do About Fuel On The Track Day, Do We Bring A Few Cans.

What Do We Do About Fuel On The Track Day, Do We Bring A Few Cans.

You can normally buy it at the circuit, if not (and you can carry fuel) bring some with you or as a final option theres a petrol station about 5 mins away.
Just pop out at lunch

[scrapps]

Yes lot of us do, check out the track web site lots of local hotels listed.(check in at track is early so found this the best option)

[Stu Pid]

but is there any one particular hotel everyone is staying at?

[Stu Pid]

Chequers Inn looks great (not) you even get a motorised wheelchair, its parked out the front, which I preseme is for those that are not too successful during the day?

Nope, no rooms at the Royal Arms, a night at the deluxe Chequers Inn is looming I think.

[Stu Pid]

You will be only a couple of miles down the road so you can pop up and join the peeps at the arms for a drink.:drunk: also peeps camp at track and have a bbq ect.:flamed: (unless you pack your fred perry and clubs and have a round of golf) each to there own....:D

[slob]

You did list golf as a hobby, as well as West Ham...
... which I guess explains "I have no mates".

Oh yeah, so thats bloody why then, jeeesus, Ive been wondering why people keep walking away from me when im talking.:idea:

Thats a no for a game then?

Thanks for the inivite, I promise I'll try not to wear my Fred perry's but my mum says I look rather dashing in em, especially on me bike.

I get the impression that golf needs to be taken off my list of hobbies then for me to get mates then?

[Stu Pid]

oi What do you know about football Mr Slob you being a hardened biker and all that.

Look forward to meeting you at the trackday Stu

[Yorkie]

Take some tape (Electrical) with you and once your there unscrew your mirrors and tape up your lights, numberplate and speedo (You dont want any distractions)

Make sure you tyre pressures are correct and your oil/fluids are correct.

Hydrate yourself and have breakfast, snack during the day, dont stuff yourself!! Keep hydrated!

Yorkie.

PS Have fun!

OK, think I can manage most of that, thanks, apart from the "dont stuff yourself" bit, thats gonna be a tuffy.

Is that becuase when things do get a bit harey, if I have eaten to much I might leave a trail downwind :didge: ?

[Yorkie]

No dont be silly! We just dont want you gipping in your lid!!!

Yorkie.

[Stu Pid]

What people are really sick in their lids, you're kidding me?

there's no way I am gonna be sick going 20mph

[benson]

I'll be watching and cheering rather than riding as I think most folks know because there is NO way I'm riding Phranc round a track for anyone :mand: so me and my bling will be safely in spectator alley...

Here's to everyone having a safe, fun, happy top day out...

[slob]

NO way I'm riding Phranc round a track for anyone

Nope, I still can't understand why??!? you have full leathers etc. get yerself booked in the novice group and have a nice gentle hoon on smooth tarmac with no Volvos coming the other way!

[benson]

I know - call me a wuss - I am one! And actually I'll be on the HyperM all being well so will be covered in cotton wool from top to toe!!!!!:chuckle:

[Yorkie]

But sliding the back end in!!!

Yorkie.

[benson]

I know - but I think I'll be leaving that until after the first service!!!!

[scrumpster]

And I'm only being a voyeur to get a taste of it and can't afford it at the mo :on:

[benson]

Indeed - maybe next year - and have bling to buy you know!!!!!:p

[Capo]

Indeed - maybe next year - and have bling to buy you know!!!!!:p

I very much doubt that there will be a next year

[fatbloke]

I very much doubt that there will be a next year

you'd better believe it!!

If there is a trackday next year I wont be running it, I cant afford it.

[Mr Cake]

I've heard this is open to Jap bikes now due to lack of numbers. I may give it a go if I can nail the R1 back together in time. Had a massive highside about ten days ago and the bike is a little worse for wear. I'll need new leathers too as I don't think they'll get through scrutineering.

An interesting shade of yellow.... now enough of this bruised arse talk and get yourself signed up for the track day. :mand:

[Mr Cake]

Got to nail the bike together first. I think my leathers will go again so I might be ok!

[Mr Cake]

Looks like I'll just be spectating as my leathers won't pass scroteneering. See you all there, I'll be on the multi-coloured R1, with any luck :D

[Geoff Avern]

Hi all, seems I'm cutting things fine for Mallory again.
:hail: Terry, I sent you a shout to nab a room at the Arms some yonks ago - does I still got a bed there for Thurs night?
Meanwhile, the Mostro's down at Moto Rapido but I'm hoping that they'll finish it and cart it up to mine on Tues, then it's an MOT on Wed ready for the trip Thurs evening.
If the M750 doesn't make it home in time, you're all in for larf - I'll be bringing the Indiana - yes, it IS a Ducati; yes, it IS a 750; yes, it IS a wikkid track tool - NOT! (only coz you can't get racing rubber for the 15" rear these days).

[Yorkie]

Sorry to all! Fatbloke most of all, my work has cancelled my time off. Nothing i can do about it, just sorry i have let people/persons down! I would have loved to have been there, i hope it is very dry for you all!

Yorkie.

[bigredduke]

Do we need to produce our driving licences on the day? I've, erm, misplaced mine & won't be able to get a replacement in time.:worried: :o

[fatbloke]

I've never been asked for it at Mallory

[bigredduke]

I've never been asked for it at Mallory

That may well be the case, but what about your driving licence?:chuckle:

[nbatty3]

Do we need to produce our driving licences on the day? I've, erm, misplaced mine & won't be able to get a replacement in time.:worried: :o

not a problem without your licence the circuit organisers can phone the dvla and ask! just bring a couple of other things with proof of address etc!
i recently had a similar problem because the plod took mine away for points twas very easily sorted!!

see you there!

[markm]

Given that it's only 4 days away and there's a postal strike due is it possible to neter/pay on the day?

[fatbloke]

If you can do electronic transfer its possible PM me for details

[neilp]

Stupid question - but whats a track day like if its pissing down with rain?

[NattyBoy]

Fatbloke doesnt do rain..he guarantees weather or your money back (Ok..I lied about the last bit)

[keabs]

Hi All,

I heard from Nattyboy that the trackday's open to non-Ducati's now...

I've been a few years away from my old S4, the last trackday I did with UKMOC was in 2004. Was a great blast and am happy that Terry has opened this one up to non-Ducati's.

So, although Nattyboy's going on his 748, I'll be on my Triumph Thruxton 900 :eyepopping: - gotta keep it street :biggrin: ... Dunno how it's gonna fare on track but I'm sure it'll be entertaining. Was undecided whether to bring that or my Daytona 675, but thought you deserved a chance, Nat ;)

Anyway, cheers for letting us on your trackday Terry, looking forward to meeting you all - again...

Thanks for the heads up on this track day - we're looking forward to it - never raced or tracked at Mallory before but spectated there.

Having owned a couple of Monsters in the past I'm very fond of them so we're looking forward to meeting up with you guys.

Look out for us with a 999R and a 748R - pop by and say hello! :thumbsup:
