Have you got a link to the bike day?Jody wrote: Sat Mar 27, 2021 7:37 am There's a company doing their utmost to put a trackday on down near me at Perranporth (Cornwall). It's an old airfield and this is the first time it'll be used for a trackday. They are hoping it will be the first of many and will eventually lead to bigger and better things for the circuit.
My initial thoughts are that it'll be a bit shit with a track outlined with used tyres, very few facilities and probably not a great surface. HOWEVER I also think it's important for 'us locals' to stump up and pay the money, because if we don't, it will end up being a one off event !

TBH, it was having to remove leather elbow patches from the track that was the issue - and the skinny soy latte from the start line ...

hahahahaha that's a LOT of Oulton !
Re: Trackdays ready to open up again.... almost time... What you got ?
There'll be a few more to come this year too. It's an expensive circuit to book but it helps that it's almost in my back garden, anywhere else is going to cost me at least a full tank of fuel in the car to get to.
It's also the best circuit in the UK

Silverstone 3 weeks tomorrow, got the van hire sorted and the zx6r will be checked over and likely given a quite spin next weekend as Mrs Weeksy is away so i'll have lots of garage time free. VERY much looking forward to it.
