Track Days @ Pembrey 29-30 August

Nadge — Thu, 19 Jun 2008 00:15:04 GMT

If you've never ridden Pembrey, it's a "must do".

Located about 8 miles west of Llanelli in South Wales, Pembrey is quite a short circuit (1.456 miles), but very technical and a HUGE amount of fun if you get it right (even if you get it wrong, there's loads of grass run off).

The event is organised by Focused Events, on August 29th and 30th (Friday and Saturday). I normally get a hotel nearby for the night before and after (gives plenty of time for the bar room tales !)

macmillan cancer ride to brighton

ROCKET — Mon, 30 Jun 2008 22:21:16 GMT

Hey there,

Just wanna say thanks for organising the Mcmillan ride yesterday a big to you , great ride. The thing is I tend to spend most of my time commuting so the blast from box hill to Brighton was great, made me think why the hell dont I spend every weekend doing this but the truth of it is I work Saturdays so Sunday is usually spent at the gym (with my figure, believe it or not) and doin stuf around the house or running the kids around. But seriously we should have ...

Which 1 should I buy

makemdan — Sun, 29 Jun 2008 22:05:59 GMT

Hello

Don't have a Fireblade at the mo' tho had several 600s. Thinking of a fast reliable bike for trip to Italy next year and probs looking in November when prices settle. (I've a choice of toys for now so not desperate) I've listened to lots of opinions and sort of come to the conclusion that a 929 would be the best to go for for a 84kg 6 footer? Trouble is finding one that I can test ride first. Any thoughts or comments?

Hellooo... any one there ?

New RRW rider

Beamish — Wed, 18 Jun 2008 15:55:07 GMT

Hi all just sold a minter firestorm and bought a tatty 98 RRW for little money. Done most of the jobs that were needed for MOT just wiating for another payday before doing the engine service. So far love the bike, so easy to ride and slowly getting used to the opposite power delivery, still trying to select 7th gear though when already in top

Hope to see much more of the site over the coming months

Hi Everyone

I've been a blade owner for a while now and thought I'd drop in to say hello.

I live in Somerset and tend to use my 954 RR2 mainly for track days although I have just put it back on the road for a few weeks whilst I loan the car to the missus.

Good to meet you all.

Neil

PB 90's trackday at Cadwell - anyone spectating?

waynesworld — Fri, 11 Apr 2008 17:08:11 GMT

It should be an interesting evening, 20th May, nineties bikes only trackday, free entry to watch if you turn up on a bike built in that decade, should be a fair few nice blades there!

Rockingham

hondaron — Wed, 28 May 2008 18:48:32 GMT

Did a track day at Rockingham yesterday, First two sessions in the rain,next two on a wet track, last session of the day on a dry track.

Really good track, really grippy in the dry, got carried away on the last lap of the day, Ended up in the gravel, I would throughly recommend this as a track day venue to all.

Met a couple of lads that go regular to rockingham and they rate it also,

Castle coombe is my next one in june, Roll on.........

griz — Tue, 03 Jun 2008 19:03:26 GMT

Hi all, I did have a project 98 rrw but had a few problems with the rebuild & got fed up of waiting to get it back on the road so I broke it all down & sold off all the parts & this is what I bought with the proceeds!

It's a 94 RRR in pretty standard nick & in very good condition for the year I think.

I was trying to get hold of a 92 twin headlight but there wasn't much about so I settled with this one for the time being, this is my 5th firebalde, I do like um

imsimon — Tue, 13 Nov 2007 09:48:46 GMT

morning all,

Ive made a definate decision that I will do my first track day in 2008, the closest circuit to me is castle coombe and just wondered if anyone had done a track day there and what its like, ive watched videos on ou tube etc but just wondered if anyones been there and how goods the organisation/facilities, I would probably rather go somewhere like donnington or cadwell but for my first one I thought best to go closer to home, (also would mean i wouldnt have to book overnight accomodation)

cheers ...
