Track Day (Duacti's Demo Bike's) & Stuff

12-02-2004, 06:11 PM

I've had a few emails and PM's asking about the Bikes
Ducati are bringing to the trackday. and
will we be able to try them out?

The answer is yes, but the offer is limited to those who
are taking part in the track day.
If your coming along just to watch I'm afraid you will
not be able to try out the Monster's.

This also goes for the Buffet Ducati are laying on, goodie bags etc.
They can only cater for a limited amount of people.

I hope this doesn't disapoint to many of you but instead
encourages you to take your bike on the circuit.

Incidentally, on the clothing side of things, I have a spare pair of spidi vertabra race boots (size 10) that anyones welcome to use if they are stuck for boots.

Cheapest Leathers

Heine Gerick (not sure if that is spelt right) were doing there tribal 1 piece suit for Â£200. I bought a 2 piece recently off e-Bay for Â£160.

Can I just recommend the HG Tribal leathers. They won an award in MCN, and they saved my butt when I had my big off/airlifted to hospital/intensive care experience a year or so ago. Top notch gear and as good as the Â£700 spidi suit I now wear...and it only cost Â£200 (as it will you if you keep your eyes open

)

Quick question about lids, I've got a Shoei Z-One helmet that is barely 1 year old but its got no Gold sticker on the back or any EU numbers stamped inside as it was imported from Germany. Is this a problem? Given the fact it was made in the same factory as all the other Shoei's and the whole EU standard being the same, will I be able to use it on the track day or MUST it have the gold sticker approval?

Cheers

Good question, I've just checked my lid, a Ducati Performance (Suomy) bought end of June last year from Riders of Bridgwater, and it has no BSI sticker, either on the lid or the box.
Does this mean I'm going to have to buy another new lid for the track day? (hint of panic in voice!)

28-02-2004, 11:05 AM

FWIW, I've never had any kit inspection on any trackdays that I have done. And that includes two at Mallory in the last two years.

Terry,
I know that Mallory insist on no bike mounted video cameras, but surely you can take a normal video, or camera. There were quite a few people filming last year and I've got about an hour tape filled. Probably worth checking.

Helmets,
Offically you need to have the gold ACU sticker on the back of your lid. The BSI stickers have I believe been replaced with an E marking often on a label inside the lid. As proto says though, I only had my bike checked over, not my riding kit.
