Ooops sorry I missed it out in the heading Its Cadwell, Tuesday 28th August

Nutty ??
Are you going to swap over this thread from the old site or have I got to get going and re-type my intensions for that w/end all over again ??

Anyone can go over to the old site and copy and paste anything from there instead of having to retype.

I,m hoping to travell up Saturday,stay over till Tuesday night and could do with knowing whos coming and when ??

I,m taking a large Tent/Marque type thing with sides so theres room for some who dont want to take their tents and I,ll prob bring a few Air Beds too..............but I int blowing them up,I,ll be too knackered for that! 8-)

Thinking about bringing a barbie so those that want can chuck their burgers on.

Have fun i won't be going...

Cheers mate but you lot will just have to find someone else to try & keep up with.

Hint: this bloke from Suffolk seems to like the place

Not long to go now

Found this just to scare myself a wee bitty more

Nutty, I've just come back of my biking hols, found out that the new job that I was supposed to start (and which I left my old job for!) has been taken away from me, have little or no funds whatsoever for treating myself at present, so I'll probably be there...

Can you tell me what sort of cost is involved?

Its £89 for 7 x 20 minute sessions, normally £99 but we're getting a discount, so when you phone Nick (the number is in the first post) and mention you're with Firebladeriders

I want in on this Nutty but I have no leathers, just the usual Knox underwear safety meshing top & bottom, Alpinestars boots and textile jacket. Due to me being outta work, I'm not gonna be able to get hold of any leathers any time soon either...

So, will they let me out with that gear ( promise I'll be careful an'all that) or am I gonna have to wait till the bank balance looks a bit better and I can stop sounding like a pikey?

Any strings you can pull for me on this one?

Can't ride a track without a 1 piece suit or a 2 piece zip together with a full zip.
However some tracks rent out gear, so i would say give them a ring and find out

As Jollygiant has said, give Nick a ring, he's nice fella, he might be able to sort something out for you, fingers crossed.

Okey dokes, I'll have a chat with ahim and let you know for sure thereafter. Thanx

How tall and wide are you............in otherwords what size leathers do you fit ??

Just had a look on the msv site, its showing the day as fully sold out.

Or were you already booked on?

Hi all just got myself booked in the NOVICE group for 28th...looking forward to meeting you all........you won't miss me...... on a slightly understated REPSOL rep + matching leathers with lillywhites on the back....oh dear I am the original all the gear no idea but take pity on me people I don't know any better

Oh yeah me name.....Neil Hurst

We,re a happy go lucky lot on this site if just a tad loopy at times so you should fit in just great.

For some reason I thought that Cadwell was in Lancashire. Which was going to be very handy as I'm staying in Cumbria from 24-27th and was just going to pootle down to Cadwell on the afternoon of the 27th for the camping.

Now I realise it's a wee bit further cross country.

So my question is - is anyone heading to Cadwell from Cumbria/Lancs on the Monday afternoon? So I can meet up and ride across together? I aint got sat nav and have never been to C'well before and will save me stopping to look at maps or use the tank bag with map/directions pocket on it, if I'm in convoy with others who've been before - and I likes riding convoy

ooooooh, also.... will there be a tyre fitter at cadwell with stickies who will swap road tyres off and on at end of day?

Normally yes but why not ring Nick Rice and ask??

Haggler wrote:why not ring Nick Rice and ask??

Why not pay Rossi to do the track day for me aswell while I'm at it

I'm looking to lay out a few hundred quid at least for this day - track cost, fuel, tyres and food etc and just thought someone from this forum might be organising the day/know what's been arranged/promised for us.... or something like that.

Is anyone organising this day/know what's been arranged...will there be any instructors? is it a full track for just this forum? is all the info on the other thread on the old forum? Or should I really ring Nick Samson and ask what 'Firebladeriders' are doing? Or am I allowed to post and ask on the thread?

Sorry for all the questions - I'll go away now and stab myself.

Nick Rice is the trackday organiser, I just set a date for all of us.

Its not just a trackday for us, there's not enough names, there's 35 riders in each group so your talking about roughly 100 for the day split into each group ie. novice, intermediate and advanced.

I do know there will be instructors and a photographer, anything else I'm not sure about, will give him a phone tomorrow and get your questions answered.

Cheers

Nutty.

Thanks

I misunderstood - I was under the impression we had the track for the day.

If it's a full day with 100 or so riders I'd expect a tyre fitter to be on site, I'll call myself to save you the expense.

Big thanks for setting this date up for us, it should be a great day.

Thanks again.

Okie dokie, that would be great

If you think of anything else that folks might need to know about, can you post them up.

Cheers

Nutty.

Gonna turn up on Sunday BSB Qualifying day with a trailer and several tents. Do we know where to head for, ie have we got an area for Firebladeriders in the camping section where we can all meet up and socialize( Get pissed). Can I keep trailer and car nearby with everything secure for Tuesday. Does anybody want a lift with or without a bike from anywhere between Hastings and Cadwell via M25 and A1. Really lookin forward to it, cheers Alan.

I should be there by the Friday lunch time. Will probably need a jump start for the bike by Tuesday as the alarm would have drained it by then!

"last time I did Cadwell in July, as always there was the guy in his massive black truck near the petrol pumps. He sells everything from dust caps to engine parts and everything else in between, including tyre fitting and balancing. I spoke to him about our fireblade day and he said he was looking forward to it, he is a permenant fixture at Cadwell" unquote

Have just spoken to Nick Rice about camping at Cadwell for BSB and trackday. He is speaking to Cadwell organisers to try to organise a specific camping area for Firebladeriders. I am turning up on Sunday afternoon with 3 tents, two bikes in a trailer and my Terrano, so I'm hoping to park everything near the tents and near the rest of the club. Don't know what usual arrangements are , so hope this helps . Bell me or Haggler for details , cheers Alan.
