This day is for novices and experienced riders but whether you’ve done tracks days before or not, we will not allow modern sportsbikes or super-nakeds to take part. Riders on these bikes can (and should) do a standard trackday another time.

Modern-classic carbed super-sports are very welcome, along with cafe racers, roadsters, bobbers, trackers, adventure bikes, scramblers, brats, you can even bring your low rider or chopper, and small cc bikes are no problem (we think). We will allow some fairly fast bikes like the Ducati Monster, Triumph Street and Speed Triples, but if you’re a track-day god looking to show-off all day, please give this one a miss.

A Street/Speed triple if going to rape everything else.

Looking at the pictures they've had XSR900's and one pic has a new Katana in it!

and Modern-classic carbed super-sports = Steelie CBR600's, right?

I'm doing the 13th on the Trx. I could paint the seat brown and do 20th too.

Surely it falls into the Modern-classic carbed super-sports category, brown seat or not!

I've got me a Lockdown Beard growing. It'll be in full bloom come August. Spray my white Kangol '75 open face black , and I'm all in.

Modern Classic Carbed would be surely include things like EXUPs and early SRAD 750s. They're not exactly slow.

Might their reasoning be more about the attitude of the rider than the bike's performance?

It's not for me. But at least they're appear to have taken off their Morris Minor cross-plies and fitted proper tyres.

Someone needs to tell the guy with his knee poking out that it isn't strictly necessary when you're only one degree off vertical.

That guy is Dutch, he owns it... He appears to be coming into Graham Hill bend where arguably you do want your knee out. He' a fast lad too, used to own a Superduke R and was handy on it.. :)

I use my knee to 'pull' me into the corner. A trait used by most racers.
