You appear to have forgotten about that racey little beast that is the RC390 - I would love to see you on that, would make a great pic coming out of the hairpinweeksy wrote: ↑Fri Aug 06, 2021 3:16 pm So who's hoping and looking to ride sone else they're not bringing then?
I'll be shocked if I'm not on the 890R for a session, that's pretty much a given.
But I'm actually likely to be persuading @mangocrazy that he needs to try an XSR and I can try his 690R
@2xtwins has the Kawasaki 1000sx which I'm leaving open to discussion until I see how much he enjoys it there.
If @Trinity765 hasn't blown hers up by lunch I may see if she wants to try a XSR or zx6 handing her 765 either to me or @Welsh Muffin
I forget what the Wilts boys are bringing, I think one may be on an 899 though @G.P ? I'll be getting the wife to at least sit on it, if not ride it.
@Tricky needs to persuade Doug light-year to send him out on his zx10, it's always fun to see Tricky mixing it on a fast bike
If only we could persuade someone to buy an mt10 before the weekend
That is a right old mixture, certainly not your regular track day goers list - your bimmer is a model I haven't ridden before and would certainly be something different, so might take you up on that Ian - hopefully needless to say but you are of course also very welcome to give the 890 or 390 (or both ) a go too if you likeIanB wrote: ↑Fri Aug 06, 2021 4:09 pm The Wiltshire boyz will be on a motley collection which is currently
V2 Poonigali
Monster 1200
Monster 675
Triumph Tiger 800
BMW R1200s
Kawasaki ZX10R (with working front brakes this year apparently)
I can't speak for any of the others but if anyone wants to have a go on my BMW tractor they can fill their boots
We're camping at the circuit Friday & Saturday nights

It's a long 2 days on track and i'm not against the little thing.... my issue is that really you have to be a better rider than me to get the most out of it. You can make up time in corners etc if you can take advantage of it's handling and weight.... but as i say, i'm not really equipped with much in the way of talent and i'll end up going the same speed in the corners and slower on the straights (if you can believe that's possible !)
p.s. I've got a present for you
Re: RTTL : Pembrey trackday extravaganza 2021. August 20/21/22.
You're on mate, I'd really like to see it ridden by someone with track talent!your bimmer is a model I haven't ridden before and would certainly be something different, so might take you up on that Ian thumbup:

No, you'll get what she tells you you're having. You'll not ask for anything different as you'll get kicked off site.Dodgy knees wrote: ↑Fri Aug 06, 2021 9:39 pm Can I get a bacon and egg bap at track Saturday morning. ??

TBH i wouldn't mind a go of the Multi.... Part of me wouldn't mind trying the Tracer, but more on the road than the track actually.Bigyin wrote: ↑Fri Aug 06, 2021 11:04 pmWhy would you want anything elseweeksy wrote: ↑Fri Aug 06, 2021 9:54 pm

Re: RTTL : Pembrey trackday extravaganza 2021. August 20/21/22.
Right then kids, time to think of any logistics we need to think of.
We'll be bringing the 3m*3m gazebo, so we'll have some shade from the sun. If the weather plays ball we'll park the bikes outside the gazebo to keep things shaded.
We'll have a cold box/bag with us should anyone want anything keeping cool from a water context etc.
We'll only have the 3 chairs and 3 people, that's all we've got, so anyone needing a chair can either beg/steal ours when not in use or bring your own of course.
We'll have the usual array of paddock stands, tools, knowledge and spares, if you need anything just shout, like tyre pressures etc.
tyre changing facilities will be on-site...
so will suspension services, you can pre-book through PBTDs website if you so wish
I'm assuming the cafe will be open as usual .
Please please remmeber what Alan has said... do NOT turn up crazy early the day before at the track... We'll all be heading to the hotel at the end of Fri and Sat anyway. We've got 2 tables booked for Friday night at the hotel... 6:30pm...
Curry is booked for the Sat night...
Do not turn up late on the Sat either.. that may get complex and messy with CV19 stuff too.
I'm pretty sure you all have my number, we're only a small group this year, but if you don't have it and want it, ping me a PM and i'll send it over.

A heads up for folks not familiar to the M4 weekend roadworks.
Friday 20th 8 pm to am on the Monday, I believe it’s closed between j3 and j8/9.
“Diversions will be in place”. Yeah thanks.

It's up the M40 then down another empty road, doesn't add much to the journey.

For you maybe. For me I will be suffering the delights on the outskirts of Bracknell and through the lanes to the 25 J11Le_Fromage_Grande wrote: ↑Mon Aug 09, 2021 1:44 pmIt's up the M40 then down another empty road, doesn't add much to the journey.

From the far east of the Norfolk coast on the 350 ish miles each way to South Wales and back i touch motorway for about 10 miles at the end and start between Neath and Llanelli to bypass Swansea..... i try to avoid them as it makes the trip more enjoyable on the bike
