Booked for this as a run out on the bike to start the track season.
Doing the 2 days. Never been there before and heard good things. Booked Inters for both days to get the bike working and learn which way the track goes.
Anyone else fancy it.

Also its the international so there's an opportunity to spend a significant amount of time with your RC8 wide open in the MotoVudu stylee!

That's a really good vid. I'm already looking forward to going!
I've just asked Kev from Projex if he can come and I think he's keen.
One tip I remembered from being there last year - stay wide of the apex on the curve after Church. You miss the bumps and getter a better line into the uphill before the left hander into Rocket. It means you can stay flat out for longer and you are braking in a straight line uphill.

That Lad is proper quick! Great quality vid too.
Certainly serves the purpose of making me want to go badly. Those straights will be awesome on the 8 as you say Dave, my bikes gonna be a bullet by the time this happens.
On trackdayriders forum one of the guys has checked the climate statistics for April and it looks very favourable too!
I was gonna go to the nurburgring again this year but I think I'm gonna sack all that off and spend the cash on some great days here. Can't wait!!!!

Dave. Who's Kev? I'd that the guys who's doing your motor? What's he riding?
BLB. Good idea. I've said it about 40times already but incase you missed it.....I've got 9 Easytrack days prepaid ready to book so will be on track a fair bit this year. The gold pack looks expensive, but they throw in a free day so it works out £69 per trackday. Considering Oulton is over £170 in the summer it's a big saving.
With that vid I don't think it's any faster than we'd be. I timed him at a 1.41 so I'll use that as a reference time seeing as the Battle Bikes didn't do Anglesey. He's got us on the straights but I can see a good few places we'd make time on him. The SD would have 'im on corner exit and a few turns. The straight doesn't look long enough for the big bikes to get away. I know at Oulton I could carry more speed through Cascades and exit faster but the big I4's didn't really lift their skirt and get going until island so didn't really pull that much. I'll have that 10 Hz GPS timer running and the bullet cam so we can come back to this post an laugh me when I'm doing 2mins.

Cerec has a great plan where we drive up to see Kev at Projex on the Saturday for some tuneecu action and then drive over and kip in the van ready for Sundays assault.
Can anyone remember if we have a specific SD.net discount or do we use the TDR one for the Nolimits booking?
Also this is really anal Viking, can you change the title of this thread and spell ANGLESEY correctly?

It says R6 on his steering damper. If that is an R6 and not going near the red line except on the straights I would bet on the SD being quicker. Not only that, there is a metrosexual in front of him with white boots. Looks like Pepe Le Pew racing with this stripes on his leathers.

It's just to fast for me really , I have no idea what 4th gear is for , never used it . I changed my gearing a lot now so should be more fun.
Only a couple of hours drive for me so will be using the van Sunday morning.
If you have standard gearing on your RC8 , i would definately change it for anglesey.
Its the best track in the country for me I love it , really really grippy and easy to learn.
Just watch out for the rumble strips they are flag stones on top of each other.
The first left hander after start finish is the best Left hander in the country IMO , and you can genuinely scrape your knee at 120mph without sticking it out, on the long right hander leading onto the back straight
And if you are bongo your elbow

Agreed. There's places where it's spot on then some corners like the hairpin at Knockhill it's kinda inbetween gears. 2nd is too low and it's hard to get it back that far and 3rd is just a ballhair too high. Seemed to work very well at Oulton where your up 3rd, 4th, 5th a lot. Should be spot on for Anglesey.
Bob. That post on the corners has got me going. I love the fast flowing sweeping stuff. The long right looks and sounds fookin brilliant. That 1st left, from the vid anyway, looks like it could be tricky. It looks like the kinda corner I'd end up going in a bit to hot and run out of road on the exit. Definitely gonna grab an instructor for lines early on.

It's looking like i wont be down there till midnight on the saturday. Asked my boss for the Sat off and it seems to have given him some super higher power where he thinks he can mess me about for weeks occasionally hinting at blackmail. Honestly, the way the pricks going on you'd think i was asking for a ride at his wife.
So it's looking like a 10hour shift, pack up, 6 hour drive, kip in the car then two days on track. This means i may have to partake in some Relentless. As Skip knows, i'm pretty caffine sensitive so this may result in two days of me foaming at the gash and talking at 300mph. I talk at 250mph as it is..................and i use the word fvck as a coma.........dont take offence.
Did i mention my boss is a prick? No? He's a prick.

Doesn't really matter what it says. All we need is for it to stay dry in a 2mile square.
Saying that, I've got a set of those new Bridgestone wets on my spare wheels I'm dying to try out.

I've spoken to them and they don't know!
The club house has been taken over by a new company and they have gutted the place.
Apparently it should be ready for us but no - one knows at the moment and the same goes for the TV.
As for the pits they think the garages will be ready although the tower definitely won't be.
I will call back in a couple of weeks for an update.

This is the inquiry to and the response from Treetops:
A group of us will be at Anglesey circuit on 8 & 9 April.
We want to know if you will be showing the MotoGP and other classes from the season kick off in Qatar shown on Eurosport?
(MotoGp live on BBC, Moto2 & Moto3 Live in Eurosport, MotoGP on Eurosport afterwards)
If so a party of us would visit you for that evening.
Look fwd to hearing from you.
Regards
Dave
Hi Dave,
Just had your message,
I can assure you . you will be made to feel very welcome should you decide to come along to us.
We have two sky boxes as well as foreign satelites so your viewing is not a problem, One of our regulars (George) is a steward at the Circuit ..you may know him?
My mob number is 07880 705 196 and my personal email address is griffwpATaol.com should you have any more questions?
How many of you are there?
Regards
Wynne
So: that's a good question. How many are going? Which day(s)? Who would like to go to a sports bar to see the MotoGp (assuming the club house can't give us what we want)?

Dave you are a true gent for chasing this matter up. I thought I was the only one worried about missing the season opener. All 3 classes are worthy of viewing. Especially Danny Kent on the Red Bull KTM bearing in mind his pre-season pace. Scotty boy is looking good as well.
Makes the whole weekend more appealing to think a bunch of us can sit and watch just how to go round a track after our attempts during the day!
Any idea just how many are signed up for the 2 days?

Does anyone have an awning to pit in that I can jump in with? Don't fancy rolling about in the open paddock working on the bike. Think there's a few TDR guys with awnings but I would like to be pitting beside the KTM guys as a 1st choice.

After 10 days of 16-20 deg C temps up here, totally tropical to me, complete with trucker style suntanned right arm and burnt forehead, it's now 2 deg C and snowing.
Yes. You read it right. fooking snowing. The sunburn is still calming down on my brow and I'm out working in full waterproofs and a wooly hat.
Now then. I am aware Anglesey is 300miles away. But if I have to load my bike in the snow. Then drive 300miles in slushy snow. Only to find the aforementioned snow is also at Anglesey and has brought it's freezing temps with it I am going to completely and utterly lose the fooking plot.

Never been to Anglesey so no idea what the journey is like across wales from Brum really. Also don't have a clue about paddocks etc.
TDR forum are on about getting a hog roast on Sunday night but tbh I'm just as happy to go in the new pitstop bar and watch the motogp.

The met office are currently showing a max of 9 and a min of 3 over the Sunday / Monday with light rain moving to heavy rain.
This bad weather is the trough between two bands of high pressure due to move through so its worth watching as it can all change over 24 hrs.

Binned off day two. Totally pissing down. And with no garages or cover it was looking like a very depressing wet event. After learning so much and taking a big leap forward decided to leave on a high.
Great to meet Sugarmonkey,BLB and Cerec1. That RC8 can fairly lift its skirt and get out those corners. Some good grunt there. Cerec1 was going well on those Pilot road tyres with loads of cuts. They almost looked like wets! Monkeys 690 R looks the nuts.
Think I might have got a nod off Fatbob as he came off track on an S1000RR
My little cheapo eBay cam didn't work and kept turning off. I think BLB got a few vids.............including his trip back in the trailer of shame.
Just home. Will update with pics etc later.

Don't be too hard on yourself mate. In some of those corners you had good speed compared to the other bikes, you just need relax into the bike and trust that it will stop for you.
