Snetterton 300, July 16th

[slob]

with Rapid Training.
http://www.rapidtraining.co.uk/trackbooking.html

just boooked in Inters, I believe J.P is doing it too.

[J.P]

I'm in the Inters.

New policy for RAPID TRAINING is that Novice and Inters groups should be road bikes only.
A very popular trend for bike trackdays over the last couple of years, and Rapid are more relaxed than the other trackday companies too.

Come join us !

[BigOz]

Booked in Novice,

Andy

[pegboy]

Mmmmm very tempting???

[johnsy]

Ops, I've accidentally booked into the inters :banana:

[scrapps]

I have booked novice/inters. starting in novice for 1st session with option to change when i know the track.

[J.P]

You'll be fine in the inters. You know what you're doing.

[scrapps]

I am a bit rusty as UKMOC trackday was the only one i did last year and cadwell was the only the year before.
plus i have no idea of the track layout so i like to play it safe. I know you like wizzing past me but you will have to wait later in the day for that. . .

[scrapps]

Booked in Novice,

Andy

good to see you are coming along Andy. :flag:

[J.P]

I know you like wizzing past me but you will have to wait later in the day for that. . .

I'm not sure how fast I'll be going on the new EVO...

[slob]

still just too fast for me to stay with, I imagine... armed with your advanced skills and extra 15BHP.

[J.P]

Well, I'd say that you'd have me on the outbreaking, but the EVO does come with ABS so at least I'll have no fear in slamming them on. :)
Anyway, remember, it's not how FAST you go. It's how GOOD you look for the trackside camera man !

[johnsy]

I agree, it's all to do with camera position

[steeevvvooo]

booked Snetterton for April 9th (Easter Monday) if anyone fancies getting some sneaky practice in before this one...

[slob]

Which group Steve?

[slob]

...and which company?

[sapone cremoso]

...and which company?

It's no limits, think i'm gonna book this up too, hear the new track's a treat :woot:

[slob]

yeah, just found that but waiting for Steve to confirm, might try novice for that one since I've never done Snet before. Will start a new thread as soon as Steve gets back to me.

No Inters left so novice it is... as long as I can get a couple of slow sessions in to learn it before Del-Boy punts me into the fast group... EEK!

http://www.ukmonster.co.uk/monster/showthread.php?p=422772#post422772

[steeevvvooo]

...and which company?

Sorry Rob. Seems like I didn't subscribe to this thread and missed the replies!

PM sent, booked in inters with no limits so I can chase a couple of the DD boys around.

[He11cat]

The new Snetts layout is fab.
Well to watch anyway.
I go up to watch Thundersprint.

[Lochy]

Booked in inters 16/07, cannot wait to try new layout :)

And its look like monster session :D

[J.P]

I'll be following you round then :)

[jonzi]

I've also booked this.

Will there be any one riding up to it?

[slob]

I'll be leaving East London at stupid o'clock

[Tandy]

we look forward to seeing you all there in july then and dont forget your baffles as the track noise limit is now 102Db guys not the old 105Db level

[J.P]

Will put the baffles in for the special occasion. :)

I'm driving up to Suffolk the night before to stay with my in-laws so there's a much shorter trip up on the morning.

[Lochy]

I stay here 3 years ago - plenty of room for parking and about 3 miles from track....

[J.P]

Looks quite nice there

[scrapps]

Looks quite nice there

Yep looks good plus nice and close to the track avoiding a very early start :thumbsup:

[J.P]

I think I will definitely book myself a room there for the night before.
Hopefully meet a couple of you there for a pint in the bar and a good nights kip.

[scrapps]

Sound like a plan J.p i will be booking a room for the night.

[Tandy]

Breckland lodge is very nice and just under gone a load of refurbishment but is right on the side of the A11 so don't expect it to be too quiet, but is also really nice and close to the track and breakfast is proper nice, food at our restaurant at the circuit is a little pricey and not fantastic but ok if you're really hungry lol

[pegboy]

No problems let's us know closer to the time

[slob]

I'll (probably) be heading up the M11 from East London.

[pegboy]

I was looking at to head up the M11 from Woodford off the A406 matbe we can meet at Bishop Stortford services??

[J.P]

Damned early start for you boys. You'll need the coffee to keep you awake !

[pegboy]

[Kerry]

Will pop along and say hi as i live in diss which is just down the road. Are you guys meeting for a drink at breckland lodge. Could meet you for a drink on the Sunday. :ukm:

[J.P]

There will probably just be a couple/three of us at the Breckland Lodge, but not sure what time.

[Kerry]

Feel free to text me if you like. I will send you a pm with my mobile number. I think we have met before at the monster only trackdays. Might see ya soon

[pegboy]

I will more than likely be riding right through Walthemstow (Forest Rd), then round nth circ, M11) I am sure there will be a few of us so we can meet you along the way, also the plan is to meeting up with others at Bishop Stortford on the M11??

Will confirm closer to the date.

[scrapps]

We are camping at the track sunday night to keep costs down. it also means i can walk the track sunday night.

[pegboy]

Anyone interested in this trackday please post here as one mate has had to pull out.

Sorry all he has now doing the track day.

[marchesini]

New policy for RAPID TRAINING is that Novice and Inters groups should be road bikes only.
A very popular trend for bike trackdays over the last couple of years, and Rapid are more relaxed than the other trackday companies too.!

I'm interested but usually do track days on my 853 track bike. Ive been to the website but can't find any details on this road bikes policy for inters / Novice groups.

Where is this stated or have you seen people turned away or bumped up into the advanced groups?

Cheers

S

[pegboy]

Defiantly not been bumped up. My bike is road legal. Give them a call and ask them is the best bet.

[marchesini]

Give them a call and ask them is the best bet.

Called them and no go. Novice and advanced places only but they won't let me on-track with my track bike. I'm not sure how my road bike with all the lights, indicators etc taken off is any different to my track bike but hey, rules are rules. Was thinking about using my road bike but then again, what's the whole point of my track bike then?

Shame.

[J.P]

Road bike policy is becoming more and more popular.

[Funkatronic]

bugger so i cant take the 998 with its track fairings!! sod that then im not risking a 1000 quid respray

monster it is :-)

[scrapps]

I like the new road bike policy for the novice group at least. I did a trackday at Lydden last year and had 2 or 3 full track bikes with all the kit causing mayhem in the novice group due to the others being fully booked.:Furious:

[marchesini]

bugger so i cant take the 998 with its track fairings!! sod that then im not risking a 1000 quid respray

monster it is :-)

I can understand it as it is intended to filter out the racers from the groups but what's the difference between my road 996 with the track bodywork and indicators etc taken off and my completely track based 853. If anything, the 853 is safer as I am less worried about dropping it and concentrating on my riding.

I do think there should be clarification on the website as it mentions nothing about road based bikes on there. Not sour grapes as I was toying with the idea of using my road bike but I can't see the point of having a track bike and not using it.

With regards to the 998 with track fairings, I would of thought that would be ok? I would imagine as long as it has a tax disc visible, it should be fine?

[marchesini]

I like the new road bike policy for the novice group at least. I did a trackday at Lydden last year and had 2 or 3 full track bikes with all the kit causing mayhem in the novice group due to the others being fully booked.:Furious:

Agree totally on novice group. That should be for beginners etc but can't understand why in the inters?

[scrapps]

Agree totally on novice group. That should be for beginners etc but can't understand why in the inters?

Yes a fully sorted track bike in inters is fine as people should all know what they are doing.
The idiots at Lydden booked in the novice as the fast group was fully booked,upset a few people for a couple of sessions before one was moved and one crashed at devils elbow.

[J.P]

Don't forget to print and complete your track disclaimer to speed up sign in.

[jonzi]

I've booked a room at the Breckland Lodge.

so if any one is travelling up from London on Sunday and fancy a mini convey lemme know

Also I can PM who ever is going to be staying there with my number so we can meet for a drink that night

[J.P]

I'll be there some time in the evening.

[pegboy]

There will be a few of us leaving from North London area, in the morning. I assume we will head up the M11. Anyone want to meet up either Nth London or along the way perhaps Bishop Stortford services???

[J.P]

No idea what my plans are going to be because I might be in Cambridge for the weekend.
See you there on Monday.

[scrapps]

I am driving up Sunday afternoon/evening with mine and Alans bikes on a trailer, we are camping at the track Sunday night.(hope it stops raining)

Not long now so i best go check the bike over ready :)

[Lochy]

Unfortunately can't make it.... :(

[J.P]

That's a shame Lochy.

Do you want me to take your bike along so that it doesn't miss out ;)

[Kato]

Would love to do this however am put by two things

1: Am not spending another Monday huddled under a gazebo to keep dry

2: Absolutely hate the restriction of road bikes only, even though mine would be just that, its a very very very STUPID idea, shame on Rapid Training

[marchesini]

1: Am not spending another Monday huddled under a gazebo to keep dry

But you do it so well. In fact, we all should be pretty good at it now - we had enough practice at it. We are also not bad on optimism either .... " I think it's definitely getting brighter.... I think. Yes, the skies are now mid-grey instead of black."

Absolutely hate the restriction of road bikes only, even though mine would be just that, its a very very very STUPID idea, shame on Rapid Training

Completely agree. I think with the lack of attendees at yesterdays sessions, I would think they would be putting incentives out to attract more people - not giving them a reason not to do it. Novices yes. Intermediate sessions - can't understand the logic at all. Anyway, their loss is Lydden Hill's gain.

[J.P]

Rapid Training's trackday's have always been an extremely high percentage of road bike users anyway and so this is just locking that in. I think it's a fine idea and you only need look at the sucess of the Ride Magazine's road bike days to see there is demand out there.
Of course, current market conditions don't guarantee attnedance, but that's the risk you take.

[pegboy]

so if I ride to the track with my track fairings, remove No. Plate and mirrors, etc will they still let me ride, surely they can not refuse my bike for that can they, this is if the track fairings turn up in time

[J.P]

why bother taking your fairing's at all then if all you're going to do is remove them ?

[pegboy]

I will remove the originals red one and replace with track fairing ride up as is the remove the mirrors number plate etc therefore if I do drop it hopefully it's just fairing damage and I can change them to prestige red ones again

[marchesini]

so if I ride to the track with my track fairings, remove No. Plate and mirrors, etc will they still let me ride, surely they can not refuse my bike for that can they, this is if the track fairings turn up in time

I spoke to them as I was thinking of booking. I only knew of this 'policy' because of info from this site.

To be honest, I don't think it states anywhere on the site that bikes have to be road legal. Admittedly, it was a cursory 'man-look' but couldn't see anything on there. Maybe there is some small print on the booking form?

However, I would assume if you turned up with track fairings and the bike all track ready, then all you would need to do would be to show a valid tax disc. That would be enough to prove it was road legal as you would not be able to tax the bike without an MOT or insurance. Or simply plead ignorance as it says nothing about it on the website.

[pegboy]

Actually although i say track fairings they do have the lights cut outs etc so i assume they are not full race fairings but replica race ones that are usable for the road, my purpose for these is for the track

Anyway I don't think they are going to arrive in time now as delivery is from the 12th till the 20th, thats not good, so i will ride the bike as it is, its a shame as i have a tank re-sprayed etc for the new fairings. Will just have to use them on the next track day at Silverstone on August 30th:biggrin::biggrin:

So back to original post, anyone want to meet up along the way??

[J.P]

I probably won't be riding up till 6pm'ish Sunday Night and staying at Breckland Lodge

[Lochy]

That's a shame Lochy.

Do you want me to take your bike along so that it doesn't miss out ;)

well....ehmm....errr.....no, thanks for offer :D

[J.P]

I'm just trying to help your bike out you understand ... :)

[jonzi]

So looks like I am going to see Paul Simon on Sunday night now.

Therefor I have cancelled the Lodge place and will ride up in the morning.

If any one doesn't mind meeting up some where then PM a location and phone number or failing that I will see you all there!

[pegboy]

Anyone want to join the London ride up, three of us so far, JONZI PM sent, but just read one of your previous post about leaving from Walthenstow. Let me know if you want to ride up with us.

[BigOz]

Had a sunny ride up, staying in Breckland Lodge, not looking quite as nice tomorrow

[pegboy]

Just checked the weather forecast and 1pm tomorrow is scheduled for heavy rain:grump:
hope they have it wrong and today blends into tomorrow.

[belltj]

walthenstow...or walthamstow in London? where do you meet?

i cannot meet tomorrow as i am working but defiantly meet for a ride out some time if your up for it?

[pegboy]

Yes Walthemstow nth London we are off the snetterton track day and a few are riding up in the morning at stupid O'clock

[belltj]

have a good one!

early morning riding the best! take it easy!

[He11cat]

Have fun!! Gutted as my last week at work can't get up there!
Rode past the track today and thought of you chaps

[J.P]

I crashed. Hi sided. Broken elbow and hand and can't walk on very badly bruised foot. In Lewisham A and E.

Thanks for everyone that helped me home.

Bike is not too bad but will need work.

[Shuffy]

That's really bad news Justin, hope the foot is only bruised not broken. On the plus side, at least you're still around to tell the tale and chicks (well Emma might) dig scars, or so I'm told. Hope you're on the mend soon, we'll send Jeeves out for comics and Lucazade. Take it easy mate.

[J.P]

I was doing really well, knees down on both sides, right up until the point I crashed..... :)

[simon_g]

Ooops. Hope you heal quickly and the bike damage isn't too bad!

[bex]

:( get well soon JP x

Was it the 1100?

[J.P]

Yes it was.

Spent the night in hospital. Deciding if they will pin my elbow this morning.

[alan c]

Hi matey, hope you get sorted soon, more fun in Lewisham Village hospital Bet you are stiff this morning ?? i will ask Emma :biggrin:

[scrapps]

Morning J.p hope they did not take to long seeing you at the hospital you mend soon mate.

[Funkatronic]

Your were absolutely thundering on before the crash mate, really feel for you, hope your injuries heal quick just, having just spent 3 months in hand therapy my advice is, DONT TRY TO USE THE HAND AT ALL FOR ANY REASON FOR AT LEAST 3-4 WEEKS. if theres anything i can do to help with the bike etc just shout

regards

ali

[Kato]

Oh bugger .........bad luck JP hope all gets fixed soon as, you and the bike..

[Musty]

Get well soon!

[He11cat]

Get better soon Justin.

[Scott1]

Get well soon JP, I hope this won't dampen your enthusiasm for riding.

I'm only round the corner from Lewisham, don't hesitate to ask if you need anything.

[J.P]

Very kind words everyone, thank you.
Finally home and confirmation of a fractured elbow , so no pins needed thank god and just in a sling to keep it mobile, though I did have a cast from 2am to 9 am.
Broke a bone in the back of my hand so fingers taped up but not too bad.
And left foot severely bashed, must have hit the floor hard after my hiside. Got it in a plastic book but hurts more than the rest.

Oh, and just found the biggest bruise on my left butt-cheek. I'm convinced it says Ducati... :)

[He11cat]

J.P your avitar looks like Micky Rouke sunbathing or Iggy Pops plumper brother :)

[Liz]

Ooer missus! Only just read this thread, get well soon Justin!

[scrapps]

Glad to hear your home and you did not need pins.
You took quite a bashing but glad your lid did its job and protected your head from a nasty impact (lid had a large dent and crack in the shell)
Heal fast mate and see you soon.

[Shuffy]

Oh, and just found the biggest bruise on my left butt-cheek. I'm convinced it says Ducati... :)

Or maybe 'This way up' ;)

[Albie]

J.P let me know if you need anything I may have spare for the use of getting your bike back. I am only up the road from Al's I have stock bars I would part with and brake levers . I have some panels in the loft.

get well soon fella and stay off your foot and get Jeeves to help you out when needed.

[jonzi]

Great to meet so many UKMOC people yesterday, shame about the weather.

And get well soon J.P (did they capture the tumble on camera(Am I allowed to ask that?))

[Stafford]

Oh bugger J.P, will Jeeves be able to help?
Take it steady and get well soon.

[pegboy]

Hi Justin, damn really feel for you, didn't think it was that much damage to you. Hope you feel better soon. I have you on camera not sure you want to see it but Funcatronic had my camera, you pass the slow coach (Funcatronic:biggrin:) few corners late he passes you after your off while you are on the ground.

[BigOz]

Get well soon JP, you had it right when you said you thought the elbow was fractured.

Andy

[J.P]

I have you on camera not sure you want to see it but Funcatronic had my camera, you pass the slow coach (Funcatronic:biggrin:) few corners late he passes you after your off while you are on the ground.

Would love to see it. If only to see me cruising past Ali. :)

[slob]

I've got some footage of you (and Ali) J.P, will post links as soon as I've had a chance to sort it out.

[pegboy]

No problem its a long video I will try to edit just the last bit let you know.

[slob]

What decision did the quacks come to, Pin or plaster? Assume you've broken a carpal and olecranon?

[J.P]

Decided not to pin the elbow, review in a week, just in a sling to keep it mobile.
Broke a metacarpal in the hind. Effects of concussion making me feel pretty sick today.

[slob]

your lid did take a proper whack... looks like it did its job though

[Stafford]

Broke a metacarpal in the hind. Effects of concussion making me feel pretty sick today.

That explains your poor spelling then!

Snapped the end of my elbow years ago and never had any more grief with it so hopefully you'll have the same J.P.

[Char]

well I hope Jeeves is taking care of you and seeing to your needs

take care

[Rally]

Justin, I've just seen the picture on Facebook and read this thread for the first time! Sorry to learn of your off and hope you feel and get better soon. Let me know if I can help at all.

[steeevvvooo]

What camera are you using Rob?

[J.P]

on my clip, at 1:40 secs that's me outpacing a BMW 1,000 RR going into the William's Straight. And on the exit to the corner is exactly where, on another occasion, where I high sided. :)

[slob]

Yeah, you were on a bit of a mission when you passed me. I've written to MSV and requested Williams be renamed J.P's.

It's a Chilli Technology ActionCam2, cheap as chips and also does 720p, only complaint is the mic only picks up wind noise when strapped to a bike.

[marchesini]

It's a Chilli Technology ActionCam2, cheap as chips and also does 720p, only complaint is the mic only picks up wind noise when strapped to a bike.

I've ordered one so hopefully it will be here for Saturday. Apparently, people in the know use a bit of sponge to act as a wind buffer for the mic.

[pegboy]

J.P
Hope your feeling better. I tried to edit the video last night and I have no idea, it was too big to load up onto here or maybe it was me being numpty, usually am with computers. Funcatronic wants to footage so maybe he will be able to post up here for you.

[J.P]

no probs mate. thanks.

[slob]

avatar... ankle too?

[J.P]

Think the bike or just myself tumbling gave it a right whacking and it's a problem to walk on.

[slob]

such a bummer when the adrenaline wears off...

[Lochy]

Just reading that now......thats unfortunate mate.....hope you will be OK soon :)

Now I'm bit glad I could not make it as I would be probably very close to you and double HS - not good ;)

[J.P]

Could have been worse, not put me off, just put me off from pushing it when I knew I shouldn't ...

[scrapps]

So all going well we will see you on track again soon.
I just hope the rain outside passes before Saturday for our visit to Lydden hill, Snetterton was my 1st wet trackday and its very focusing trying to go fast in the wet.:eyepopping:

[pegboy]

I was really cautious in the wet but the confidence grew and I actually enjoyed the wet and had a great time.

[gary tompkins]

Sorry to hear about the prang Justin. Hadn't been following the thread and didn't know you came off until I spoke to Alan on phone tonight. Hope you heal fast and the bike is note too badly damaged

[J.P]

One benefit of crashing is that you get to buy brand new kit !!

.

[alan c]

Nice !

Hasw Alex had a chance to look at bike ?

[J.P]

no response from him yet, I'll chase it up the end of the week. It's not like I can ride it.... :(

[Mand]

Hey Mr July, just logged on and heard about your off, hope you are feeling tip top soon.

Dave says "how's the track, will it ever be the same again..."

Mand Xx

[gary tompkins]

Dave says "how's the track, will it ever be the same again..."

Mand Xx

Not since JP crashed.. but they've hired a JCB to fill the huge crater back in ASAP

[J.P]

My a*se left a very large furrow for the to fill in. As did my head.

[J.P]

Initial assesement of damage to the bike:

New Items Needed :
Twistgrip
Bar end plug
RH lever
Engine mounting bolt & crasg bungs
Brake pedal

Items scratched but no need for replacement:
RH footrest-brake mount*
Lower silencer*
RH pillion footrest mount*
RH pillion footrest*
Exhaust heat shield*
Exhaust valve guard*

Plus:
Where the frame bung got caught on the track kerb on the way out it probably need frame removed to effect a proper repair to the frame lug.
And the forks seem to have twisted in the yokes.

[scrapps]

Not to bad other than getting the frame removed and repaired.
The bungs did protect tank and engine etc but its a shame they hit the kerb.

[J.P]

Frame lug all bent , which means a full strip down to make a good repair.

[J.P]

I need a new Clutch Plate cover for the 1100 EVO because current one scratched in my de-bike, any suggestions of where to find some choices ?

Or I could get the current one repainted I suppose?

[slob]

Don't bother, from your avatar I'd guess you won't be able to see it either way ;-)

[rollo22]

Sorry to hear about the tumble.
Hope you have a speedy recovery and back on two wheels soon.

Try the Speedymoto bungs, the threaded rod that replaces the engine bolt is 185000 psi Chromoly Steel and the stand-offs the bungs fit to are also high strength steel where the Evotechs are Aluminium. The Speedymotos might be less likely to distort and damage the frame.

5 Y-spokes to match your wheels (also comes in black) will see if I can negotiate you a discount if you're interested

[J.P]

To point out the obvious, I think, as I'm not mechanically minded, isn't my clutch a wet clutch ?
So an open clutch plate would let all the wet stuff fall out....?

I didn't realise the evo wasn't a real Monster... you make a very good point though

[J.P]

At least my 'not real Monster' doesn't keep cutting out on me...

[slob]

If we're going to get all catty: At least my traction control works :-)

[J.P]

So does mine, it kicked in just time to hi-side me. :)

I'm pretty sure I'll be backing the setting off a bit more though for next time.

[slob]

My traction control was all in a 'slow head' which wasn't allowing me to stay with you anyway.

[J.P]

She's alive !!

[J.P]

A very good Job.

[slob]

That is tidy, who sorted it?

[J.P]

sLOB, Some guys near to Alec at Ducati Proteam did the lug repair and another guy for paint.
Haven't seen it for real yet, it returns on Saturday, so I can see how bad the scratches are on the clutch cover and exhaust can.

But at least it's all back together !!

nice work JP looks great, how u healing?

[J.P]

much better thanks. I reckon I'm about 90% fit, and I'm probably only ever 95%...

[slob]

Coming to the 'ring next month then?

[J.P]

Ah,,,, errr, no, sorry, I'm in the Pyrenees, Cote d'Azur & Tuscany, as long as my arm/hand is up to it.. ? ????

Thank you Gary.
I've said it many times before.
