Kent UKMOC @ Brands in June Possibly

[Albie]

Hi guys . Just spoke to Al at Proteam Ducati. He wondered whether we wanted a stand at the Modified Live event at end of June. 25th and 26th is the date
I reckon we could get a variety of our bikes together in a stand to promote the club. PS other counties welcome of course. More the merrier.

There is a chance of track time as well.

I will be liaising with Al who is the clerk of course at the event so please give me your thoughts and help me try to arrange something. It gives us free inside parking and the chance to promote the club.

If we could get 1 bike of each model that would be great too and MODIFIED too. So thats you GT :biggrin:

[Kato]

I'd be up for that Albie, let me know what I can do to help.....

[alan c]

Sounds great Albie, would be good for the club. please obtain more details so we can get together.

[steeevvvooo]

I'm interested. What's the date?

[Pomp1]

Up for that Albie

[Albie]

Thanks for the response. The Date is June 25th and 26th@ Brands Hatch Circuit in Kent.
I'm on the case and making inroads to the powers to be. I will be chatting to some kentie's about it this weekend but we need your bikes. If we are attending a Modified festival then we should take modified if possible. Not against standard but all bikes will be considered and we would also appreciate the company.

Heres the link for the show.
http://www.modifiedlive.co.uk/page.php?a=5&s=105&p=77


I guess we need :-
volunteers to help
volunteers for bikes
some kind of marquee or gazebo with sides. Any borrow is good :D
Banner, flags, cards.
Barriers.
I have 2 rear paddock stands ( dual and single sider and one front.)

Bikes
M900 the god of the monster family
M600 /M750
M620/695/800
M1000
S4/S4r or RS
S2r
M696
M796
M1100

Please let me know if you want to and can help me.

Modified = racer, body, engine, components on show, customised, adapted.

[Rally]

Albie, You seem to have missed the Diavel off your list! :D :D :D

[J.P]

Sorry I'll be away

[gary tompkins]

Sorry Albie - only just picked up on this thread. I need to check for diary clashes but would like to support this event. May have options on a marquee to borrow through another club, and I'll make enquiries. Would need a van or estate car for transportation as it's pretty large. Do you know how big a pitch the club has been allocated? Having run the Kent NABD stand at rallies for 6 years in the past - it's surprising just how much room the bikes and stall will need. Will exibitors get free passes to the event?

[scrapps]

More than happy to bring my shiny shiny m900ie and offer a hand in any way possible.
Off to see al later to brop my bike for a service.

[steeevvvooo]

I appear to be free that weekend, and am happy to donate my bike if needed. I appreciate there are a few S2R's though so I won't take offence if I'm dumped for a prettier model! :biggrin:

Happy to hang around the tent and talk rubbish to people as well, although I wouldn't want to put people off the UKMOC! :ukm:

[Stafford]

Just need to check the calender, but I'd up for this. As long as I have enough modifications. :freak:
Also please nobody tell Gordon that he rides the "god" of Monsters, he'll be even more insufferable!

[Liz]

Albie, You seem to have missed the Diavel off your list! :D :D :D

Oh, I wonder why?!!!

[uksurfer]

Albie, You seem to have missed the Diavel off your list! :D :D :D

because having tassles hanging of your handlebar ends is not really a 'mod'

[Stuart42]

Hi Albie

I can do the Sunday if that helps?

Cheers
Stuart

[jimbo696]

Albie,
Sounds like a good event. I am available if you need help.

[BigOz]

I'll be available on the 25th but was thinking of going to the Ducati Roadshow on the 26th June - Rye Harbour- East Sussex to see if I can get a Monster 1100 evo test ride.

[Albie]

Hi guys. A few things were discussed today about the info we have received so far. We can have tracktime thats 3 x 15mins and thats free to s and being sponsored by Ducati Proteam. We are wanted to attend so lets do it. We can have a pitch the size we need on 1 or 2 days.
We as Kenties will try and do both days and any other bikes who wish to join us can either do 1 or both . We will try and help you out as much as possible.
What we need from you is to pay for your entry along with us and decide when you want to come.
We aim to just show our bikes and answer any questions and promote the UKMOC club and the Ducati brand.
We also wold like to get photo boards of past events made up whether National or Regional.

This is an event which you are paying for so we expect you to have a nice day and not all sit around the bikes. What we want to do is take turns and do maybe an hour morning and afternoon.
There is camping if you want to as well.
If you have info on your bike of mods please compile it and laminate it for the public to view.
Any other suggestions are gratefully received as I have never done any of these events myself other than having the bike borrowed.

Please add your name to the list if you want to show and what days.

Thanks

Albie m1100s sat/sun

[Rally]

Albie,
I would have loved to have come and support this, but unfortunately i'm away on holiday that week. I hope it goes well for the UKMOC. I will speak to you at the Weekender about the banner(s) I have that may be of use to you.

[Capo]

I could fit this in. Will I be able to camp over on the Friday night.

[Albie]

There is camping there as its the official circuit. I doubt you will be alone.

[scrapps]

I am happy to do either or both days and think camping at the track would be a great idea.
Count me in for this fantastic chance to promote the club see loads of modified cars and bikes plus have a weekend camping at Brands. (also some chances to ride your bike round the track)

Come on guys and girls its a great chance to promote the UKMOC and show off your bikes

please Help this event happen by contacting Albie and lending your support.

[gary tompkins]

Albie,

Can you confirm the dates for this? the 24th and 25th are Friday and Saturday, and I'm sure you said at the cafe it's a Saturday/Sunday event. I need to know exactly which dates we need to borrow equipment for.

(EDIT) just spotted revised date further down thread - can you please correct title to avoid confusion?

I've spoken to my friend Andy in the St Johns and hes been very helpful. They have two 6x3m and one 5x 2.5m marquees to loan. He may also have options on tables and chairs if needed. The bonus is these are currently stored at Brands Hatch in the St. Johns garage, so transportation won't be a big problem. I'm hoping to meet Andy at brands in the next couple of weeks (Tuesday evenings) to sort details. Do you want to meet me there or maybe take Alan as he's local?

Any cash donation to St Johns Ambulance for tent hire is optional - but would be appreciated

[alan c]

Thats great Gary, just let me know when you are going.

Gary thanks mate that will be great for us to have it local to hand. Gratetful to them. Maybe we can have a charity box at hand to help raise some dosh.
If its next tuesday onwards I would be happy to come along as long as we pass the Pied bull on the way home.
So thats another one ticked.

[scrapps]

Thats a result thanks Gary.
If i am camping at the the show I have two tents one two man and a 3/4 man tent so happy loan out/set one up for others to stay.

Albie please check what the deal is on camping at the site If you talk to them before me.

[Albie]

Just spoke to Glen who's running the show. We as a group can have 3 or maybe 4 x 15 minute sessions for around 20-25 UKMOC bikes. If we dont have that amount then they will allow Ducatis to fill the spaces. This will be like a trackday rule of leathers,gloves and all usual regular rules. Gary T will also be allowed and if not with us he WILL be allowed on his own.

This is to be paid for by Ducati Proteam .

Camping is available for £15 on top of weekend ticket and there are showers etc.
You can book advance tickets or I believe its £22 on the gate.

Do we want grass or concrete/tarmac for or tent ?

I am provisionally booking eight tickets for our stand so please help me out and get some names down.

Great news on the track time. Would prefer to do it with the group if possible rather than feel like billy no mates.

I'll ask Andy what the best surface for pitching tent is. Grass is normally better for anchoring using tie downs and H/Duty pegs, but on concrete you'll need heavy weights or drums full of water as ballast. The tent will take off in winds unless secured in some way.

I reckon you will be allowed on with us as technically we are parading sort of .
I said initially grass Gary to Glen but I have some 4x 3 boards if necessary which we can use and dump if damaged.

[alan c]

looking good Albie, as you said think grass pitch would be better. i will have to borrow some leathers to go on track !

Hi guys. I know some names went down but its now happening in just over 3 weeks time.

I want to know if your still coming and what days. The track time is happening but I have been asked what day do you want it. Saturday or Sunday. I would obviously like both but I want the majority of people to have it on the day they come.

You need to be thinking of booking your tickets too. I have booked 4 weekend passes for GT,AlanC, Scrapps and heather, Me and another, Uksurfer,Char.

Would love to come but can't commit since have a big job on over that weekend (otherwise I'd have gone to LVC's rideout at Le Mans) Sunday is a 'mopping-up day', so if all goes well Fri night/Saturday will try to come along on 26th.

[alan c]

its also the Modified bikes we need !

[slob]

they're pretty much all modified one way or another

If you can make it thats great. More the merrier and 3 x 15min track times.

[Albie]

Not compulsory but we have some. Like slob said most are. We could modify them with balloons :D:running::running:

[number24]

I could well be up for this. Is that 3 x 15 min track sessions with a weekend pass? Or per day? How do i sign up?

[Albie]

Well I have been asked which day we want . If I get more want to do one day than other I would try to make it that day. We have room for 25 bikes to go on the track. If we dont fill the places its open to other ducatis. No it s not get a weekend pass to do it unless you want to come. Its worth it for the entry fee. We are basically being treated but we have to make a show of ourselves. That costs nothing.

You can get a ticket online or on the day but try to let me know if your coming for numbers please. Glen NEEDS to know.

[Capo]

Count me in, I will be there for the weekend

I am getting 4 tickets and after chatting with some of the people who run this event i am looking forward to the weekend. Loads of stuff to see and do in the day and also loads of stuff in the evenings for people staying on site.:yoparty: :yoparty: :yoparty:

I really need to get some official numbers who are deffo coming from those who have not got back in touch. You also need to have ordered your tickets too.
Also have you booked your camping. Apparently its limited.

Remember this is a free track time for us so lets not miss out. Its just 2 weeks away tomorrow

[Char]

I've booked the hotel - does that count?

[slob]

I will have to pay for Sunday on the day, if I finish my weekend's work on Friday/Saturday

Camping is Friday and Saturday night and you need to buy a vip pass for the weekend @ £45.00
I am not camping now as 3 of us were going to camp on the Saturday night but thats a extra £45.00 to camp for one night..... cheaper to travel back or book a travel inn :eyepopping:

Some of us Kenties will be getting to brands early to set up. the rest of you can follow on, best to just go straight to Brands and ride in and find us. we should have UKMOC banners up etc.

[J.P]

Take pictures please.

[alan c]

Will do, have a great trip, see you at Mallory

[Unit 18]

Glen had a meeting at Brands yesterday where he was informed (even though this was agreed a month ago) that you will have to go on circuit behind a safety car.
This is because their insurance now requires them to place Recticel (if you're free to circulate) at several corners, which can't be done because it will take an hour to place and remove it. We can't leave it in place because the MSA won't allow it on circuit with cars.
I'm really sorry guys, but you will still get several laps in each session and we'll arrange some other prizes to make up for it.
I'll also make sure you get good coverage on the PA.
Regards, Al.

[J.P]

Can you ask the safety car to go really fast for them ?

[uksurfer]

i will head down there after breakfast, sometime whenever

[Unit 18]

I'll make sure there's someone that can pedal driving it!

[uksurfer]

would it not be easier and safer if the safety car followed from a 'safe' distance? :thumbsup:

[bex]

I like Martins idea!

Looking forward to a great weekend, thanks for all the info :thumbsup:

That ok Al. I have been to Brands 6/7 times to do trackdays and Paddock hill would catch a few people out if not careful.
I am sure the safety car will keep a good enough pace to keep us happy.

Thanks again for sorting the track time. :flag:

[Unit 18]

Thanks for the update Al, just to confirm the track time is Sunday.

Yep Sunday, last year we 6500 spectators and 80 degrees.....I'll have the F1 on in race control if anyone wants to look in. :spin:

[bex]

Is it more of a parade lap then or are there still a few sessions?

Not sure whether to go!
Ta

[Unit 18]

As I said, it will be several laps, in two sessions but behind a safety car.

[bex]

Ok thanks for clarifying Al!

[Unit 18]

Are you guys going to take on the car clubs in tug of war and uphold the honour of bikers everywhere? :idea:
Details of how to do it and what else is on here. http://modifiedlive.co.uk/page.php?a=5&s=81&p=77

[gary tompkins]

Pity about the pace car

I had to google Reticel to find out what it was

http://www.safeguardbarriers.co.uk/

[Char]

Does that mean if they're not going to let us crash we dont need to have zip together or one piece leathers :rolleyes:

[Unit 18]

Not for the tug of war.....unless that's what you're into. :thumbsup:

[Char]

Not for the tug of war.....unless that's what you're into. :thumbsup:

Dont - you'll start GT off

[Unit 18]

I'll get Glen to check exactly what they require.

[Unit 18]

I think flip flops and Hawaiian shirts may be a no though.

[Char]

Darn - thats my Ducati hot pants out the window

[Albie]

I appreciate all the effort you have put in Al and Glen to give us the track time. Its the first time I have ridden around brands on a bike but I know the circuit well on Need for Speed Shift. Somehow I wont be doing sub 46 secs .
I never intended to appear here because of a track session it was because of the event and gathering of friends so it wont spoil my day. Those pace cars shift btw.

Thanks for all your doing.

[gary tompkins]

I'll leave the tyre warmers at home.. and just bring the leg warmers

[Albie]

Im starting to look forward to it now. I did hear that the weathers meant to be nice too thank god. Lets hope so eh. My tickets arrived I think but no-one home to sign for them. They include vehicle passes too I think. I reckon between us we can bring along certain food stuffs if we get together so we have enough to feed the starving. Will be on the phone later to discuss this.

Anyone coming can you get together some info about your bike and old photos and stuff and maybe laminate. If you cant you could email me it on a document A4 size and I will print and laminate.

[steeevvvooo]

ticket booked for both days, with Shelley also coming on Saturday (maybe in the car, I assume there's some car parking?)

not sure what time I'll get there, but am flexible all weekend so somone (Albie/Scraps) just tell me when.

[gary tompkins]

Got my 2 day tickets in the post Friday

[chris yeatman]

mite turn up for one day, guessing i can pay on the gate., in the car tho.

[alan c]

Hi Chris, yes you can pay on the gate, would be good to see you.

[Unit 18]

Haven't had a definative answer from Brands yet so I think it's safest to say that you'll need both parts of your licence an zip together/one piece leathers.
Look forward to seeing everyone.
Al.

[uksurfer]

weekend tickets arrived :-)

[scrapps]

Cheers Al.

Got race suit so not a problem.(going to be a tight fit due to the extra 1.5 stone i put on:thumbsdown:)

Looking forward to a good weekend :spin:

If drivers do not have a crash helmet then Brands Hatch can hire these at £10.00 per on the day
All drivers must bring a valid driving licence – Both parts


Camping
You may take your car from your Club Stand back to the camping area only after 6.00pm on Saturday

[Albie]

Ok mate I have your info for Sunday re the Track Parades, details as follows:



Your 2 x parade lap timings on track are12.45pm and 3.05pm on Sunday 26th June.

Your sign on, briefing and assembly area will be at the Outer Paddock Scrutineering Bay, see attached map for the route to and from your stand.



For the 12.45 session you need to sign on and have a briefing at 11.00 so please ensure you get the guys who are going on-track down there at this time, you do not need to take your bikes.

When it’s time to go on-track for the 12.45 session you need to be at the scrutineering bay for 12.30 with your bikes, when you have your briefing the chap will let you know the route to get there.

For the 3.05 session you need to sign on and have a briefing at 2.00, this is only if you did not sign on and have a briefing for the earlier session.

For the 3.05 session you need to be back at the scrutineering bay for 2.45 with your bikes.



The parade laps will consist of 3-4 laps behind the safety car which will be at a pace of around 60-70mph.



Apparel all rides must wear:

Crash helmet

Gloves

Boots

Leathers – either one piece or zip together





You Club Stand is on tarmac and you will be inbetween the Pirelli tyre truck and some trader, this is as close as we could get you to the Kentagon/Sign On building as we know you have to transport the gazeebo from the Kentagon, there is tarmac behind your stand and a fence line so if you need to secure your gazeebo you can do it here.



We are so sorry that we could not get the full track sessions for you guys but I assure you that we will work on this for the future. The timescale for the moving of the Rectosel was the issue that restricted the full sessions and we will see what we can do for the next one, that’s assuming you enjoy this one of course ha ha



We look forward to seeing you and the guys on the weekend and have a safe journey down to us J

[alan c]

Thanks for posting info Albie

[uksurfer]

going to have to get a move on saturday morning!

[steeevvvooo]

weekend pass arrived. So I'm assuming I need to get to Brands for 8.30? No idea where scratchers lane is? :worried:

Going to bring a change of clothes so will need to leave my leathers on the stand somewhere (or hide them around the back of the tent).

Scratchers Lane is round the back. As you come up the hill nearly opposite the speed camera is a turning on your left which takes you round the back to the Paddock

[alan c]

Hi Steve,

we will have a couple of cars on site so ok to put leathers in for the day etc.

Scratchers lane is the turning on the left half way up gorse (death) hill, just before speed camera, it goes round the back to the paddock entrance.

[steeevvvooo]

got it, thanks. Quick google search brought it up :banghead:

Need to get back from work tomorrow while it's still light and hope it's not raining so I can clean the bike :chuckle:

Plenty of time on saturday at event. Clean them all if you want.:chuckle:

[steeevvvooo]

ha, not likely. Although, Shelley will be there on Saturday and she has little hands (great for cleaning the white wheels!!)

£10 a bike...

[scrapps]

We will be bringing a car with a table and tea and coffee making gear.
Also will bring a couple of stands for the bikes and chairs if i can fit them in the car.
See you bright and early Saturday:spin:
Don't forget to bring a info sheet for your bike if poss listing the mods and Photos of before and after if you can.

[uksurfer]

i'm sure Albie will be avaliable for bike cleaning too, bring your cloths!

[scrapps]

If your unlucky he will be offering a topless bike washing service :eyepopping:

Hi,

I've had a great weekend my thanks to everyone involved but in particular to Al for the invite, the space for the stand and complimentary activities especially the Drift Taxi rides and the track time. Thanks to Albie, Scrapps, Heather, AlanC and GT for all their work arranging things and providing the Tea, Coffee, water and food.

Seeing Steeevvvooo's impromptu grass-track experiment ended safely was a highlight!

Andy

[number24]

What an awesome weekend! Sign me up for next year right now!

[J.P]

Has Stevo been trying to make a new route round Brands ?

[slob]

What an awesome weekend! Sign me up for next year right now!

What are you doing this Friday?

[steeevvvooo]

thanks as well to all involved. It wouldn't have been the same without the sun shelter and tea table (with sandwiches, cakes etc :thumbsup:)

As for my "excursion"... I went in too fast/poor line on Graham Hill, saw the rumble stips, and straightened up. Ran straight across the grass and re-joined about 50mn further on! :look:

Considering it was a "parade" lap, I was pretty impressed with the effort, but could have been embarrassing stacking it!! I promise to be more sensible on Friday at Mallory :o

[uksurfer]

A big thank you to Albie for organising this for us with Al from Proteam/Unit 18

Really made us feel welcome and gave us drift car rides and tracktime.

Thanks to GT for sorting out the SJA marquee tent, Scrapps and Heather and Alan C for the tea coffee sandwiches and cake refreshments all weekend.

And Shuffy for donating me some leathers!

I'll be coming to Kent again :woot:

'If you didnt go, you missed out' 'Albie'

[Albie]

I was merely the person who put his head up above the parapet to get shot but never did. Purely because the event was dry other than getting there on saturday and the people who turned up got a reward for contributing their bike and person to the event. I believe we promoted the club well and showed that once again the people in this club want a good time and also give generously to the St Johns Ambulance even though not required too.

Thanks for doing that Gary but I had it in my head to ask but you made my life easier.

I was very tired getting home and went out for dinner with Rally and Jaq. Thanks mate for dinner and your bike now looks so much nicer even though it was nice anyhow.
Before I forget the guys who came from hampshire and wiltshire and staying over cheers..

Nearly hit a ton on the straight btw. well into the 90's but I am too slow in the corners but just enjoyed the chance. Parade by fu$$ing 4rse :biggrin::biggrin:

Look forward to more photos soon.
:ukm::ukm::ukm:

[Rally]

What a fantastic day had by all. Well done to all who had a hand in the organising and to the drift taxis etc like has been said before.
Shame Pirelli didn't have some bike tyres though as many of us look like we are somewhat closer to needing some now! I'll post a picture tomorrow......... :)

Good to have dinner Alb's and thanks for the new colour scheme. :thumbsup:

[alan c]

Thanks everyone for a Fantastic weekend :ukm:

A big thank you To Al for inviting us and all his hard work making sure we had a great time

Thanks to the Kenties for all your hard work organising (you know who you are)

Thanks to everyone for coming and making it such a succesfull weekend

hopefully we will be back next year.

[scrapps]

WOW what a grrrrreat weekend.
Thanks to everyone who came and to Al,Glen and all the Modified live staff for making us all so welcome :hail:
Also thanks to the MSV guys it the pace car for looking after us all and for getting faster in the second session (plus letting a few of us have a bit of a play.):flag:

It was very nice of them to let us use the shelter and it was a life saver on Sunday in that heat.

[Albie]

It was very nice of them to let us use the shelter and it was a life saver on Sunday in that heat.

It was good of them. I was looking on the internet for pop up gazebo's and wondered if the Kent posse' wanted to invest in one just a 3m x 3m for future events and for borrowing if you need within the group. Dont think we need a bigger one due to carrying in car. Any other region attending same event could add too ours. Around £80 with sides and water filled leg weights cost around £20 for four. If we all chipped in a £10 each.
Events like Ferrari in T Wells, Southbourough Italian bike and car day, Popham, and then your trackdays etc. Good to have just a shelter for sitting out of rain or sun.

I dont mind borrowing but nice to have our own at times and some include a banner with club name on.

[Albie]

I found this on the tube. Someone kindly filmed it. Its just as I remember. I could almost smell the burning rubber :D:D:D

If i remember correctly, Rich is part of the Suffolk group and was down there for the D1RC championships.

[JohnS]

Hi all,

hope I'm not breaking any rules by posting in here. I was one of track side photographers there on Sunday, predominantly for the Time Attack cars. I'd never taken photos of bikes before, so thought I'd try and get a bit of practice in - you all certainly seemed to be having fun, particularly in the second session :)

I apologise if the photos aren't brilliant, as bikes are small and faster moving than cars and I was playing with different settings to see what worked best. Hopefully I got at least one of each of you on track:
