Alright guys,
As the title suggests, Brands Indy £139 with Easytrack 13th June. 9am til 8pm!
I'm about to book this Monday hopefully, any other interest? Looks like a bargain to me for 11 sessions
Might even be able to get a little discount too.
Cheers
Marc

Its a trackdayriders forum deal. Register on there to be safe as I have and then when you book on the site use promo code TDR1. I think they check back with Trackdayriders to make sure you are a member.

Can you really look that far ahead with certainty Jules? Surely not. What about the butterfly effect? Maybe a flutter of wings in South America will change the weather patterns over Europe by then - it's weeks away Have a bit more positivity. I'm think ing about doing this one - just have to find a way of telling Amy.

Klincky you had better book HM now as Perry is in Vegas this week and they are filling up with bookings for next week already.
Also they have moved to Edenbridge now right behind Crescent Suzuki MotoGP Team. Might save you a trip to the old address. I was there yesterday finally getting the STM slipper clutch fitted.

I've booked it, Fast Group, ooh I'm all excited now been more than 18 months since i did brands, it was an unusually gloriously sunny day in october 2009, the first time I'd ever been asked to change groups and be moved from inters to fast and on sports touring tyres to boot, was only about my 5th track day and my first full day at brands having only done a couple of evening sessions there before.
I just hope the bike is running alright (had a stutter at Snetterton) and that the yoke swap hasn't done anything to the handling and most of all, I hope I still have the mojo I had on the last visit, the instructors were calling me the KTM guy and had been trying to read my t-shirt and I'm still pimping the photos on my iphone at any opportunity

Ok I'm now booked in. After some arm twisting from Jamie I booked Fast rather than Inters. Will follow him round for a few laps to learn the layout.
It's just a day event only now as the track had been double booked for the evening. Shame but still will be good to finally experience Brands.

Good to see you along Klinky! And TJ. Looks like it's turning into a KTM day out. Haven't been to many tracks this year what with the babies etc. let alone even riding on roads so I will be as rusty as ever and I am not fit. But at least I know Brands better than most other places so I will do what I always do and treat it as a chill out day and just enjoy being on the bike and having a blast with some other naked bikes - and maybe showing a few race reps the twin tail pipes.

We now have an Official Superduke.net Pit Garage!
Look for the signs on the garages when you arrive, apparently they will also let you know which garage is ours when signing on.
I'm going to be taking advantage of the suspension setup on the day, because I haven't a clue what I'm doing with that. I have it set on KTM sport settings at the moment but I need all my static sags set up. Also might have a session or two with an instructor.
I think this is going to be an awesome day if the weather is good, Easytrack seem really well run so far. I have been pm-ing what appears to be the Head Honcho and he's really helpful.
Looking forward to meeting some of the top SD posters and buying my official shirt from TJ

Getting closer!
Keith at Easytrack has just emailed me. We have garages 3 to 6 reserved
I can't remember how big they are there, anyone have a preference towards which garage number we go for? I think garage 4 as I'm sure the tyre and suspension guys are in 3. Instructors in garage 1 and 2 I think.
Or maybe from what I've heard we ought to be as far from the instructors as possible so they can't find us to bollock us!
Can whoever gets there first claim the garage sharpish, I'm guessing that will be Klinck or TJ.

Hi Klinck
The confirmation is on the easytrack site where you sign in, you print off all the forms from there. I'm sure your bike will be fine, its not going to rain (repeat after me) its not going to rain, its not going to rain.
Shame if you can't come along and I'll be wobbling around half you speed!

Haha, I wouldn't count on me getting their first, I'm never on time for anything these days.
I'm going to have to talk my mrs into helping me load my mates trailer first thing in the morning, otherwise I'm going to have to go to his and get him and the trailer in the morning then load up and drop him back off again, bit of a mission.
I still think I could probably load it up myself but he reckons it's not possible as it's got no wheel chock or ramp but last time I borrowed it when I got home I got it angled just right onto the slope up my drive to unload
If I do get there early though then number 4 seems reasonable, just look out for my pimp wagon yellow van

I bring the tool kit, an adjustable spanner, pressure gauge, gaffer tape and a litre of oil. Spare visor and sliders. Mars bars and Red Bull. Job done. Can't carry any more.
Envy everyone else with stuff and warmers a bit but then again I get there and back quicker than in a van.

Was mightily hungover on Friday so didn't even make it into work. Just realised that I have left the two forms from the trackday organisers on my desk. They seemed to be pretty certain that if you turn up without them you can't ride, (bit strange 'cos No Limits/MSV etc. just have loads of blank ones you can fill in on the day).
Anyway does anyone have a link they can send me to the site so I can download them again - everything was sent to my e mail address and I can't get it from home.

I've now got the two indemnity forms downloaded from their site. In the section where they say, "What you must bring" it only mentions that you need these two forms and your driving license. But somewhere else it says that you need the confirmation e mail they sent you. Do I really need this? Does anyone know? It's a fooking 1.5 hour trip to work for me if it it's really needed and I want to be at home watching Moto GP and the kids.

Just also dug out my Jonny Jacket - not being pessimistic but if I'm going to ride in the rain tomorrow I could do with not getting wet. Brought this with me to about 8 track days over the last two years and NEVER had to use it yet. So it's my good weather talisman.
Been up since six doing the bike once over checks and giving it a bit of a clean. Ready to go See you all tomorrow.

No joy on the boots front guys so I believe the gods are telling me to leave this one. Just checked account one last time and no money has been taken so I'm not losing any money.
TBH the bike was shaking her head and wobbling so badly on Sat that I really need to get it sorted before taking her to my maximum ability. Not only is she doing it on straights but also through corners. Its un unpleasant feeling at 100+ and leaning over. I'll get her booked into MCT and see if he can cure the issue. Just praying it's that, as a small part of me is fearful that maybe my mounting of Jocke's SDR could have twisted some part of the frame. Hope I'm just worrying too much though and its not that.
So have a good one guys and I'll be out to play again once I've got a bike that I 100% trust.

Seems that salad was in fact a warning omen. Got a text from Jamie at about lunchtime with "They do crash well, now does it count as membership to the club if I didn't have to take the van of shame "
Spoke to him shortly after. He and the bike are fine. Crash bungs took all the damage and he even got to ride her back to the pits! I'm not sure that actually counts as being in the SD Crash Club?? We will have to put it to a vote me thinks.
Apparently he hit a damp patch at the hairpin or so the photographer told him. We might get to see some good quality crash pics!
As of 1pm no other SDs had been down the track.

Just got the kids off to sleep and nearly couldn't stay awake myself. Legs and shoulders already seizing up. I am too old and out of shape. Good day today, track dried out by mid morning and by afternoon was like real hot summer. Nice to see Schnauser, TJ and whcufC again and meet some of the other Superdukers from here. Good one! Me and Schnauser went and admired a GS 1000 that had a GSXR1100 engine and Bandit front and rear - the owner mongrelled it together in two weeks. He did a good show in the fast group till he blew his oil cooler hose and sprayed a geezer of oil right the whole length of Cooper straight. Thought the rest of the afternoon was maybe going to be canned but a ton of cement dust sorted it out.

Sounds like a good warm up for Cadders later this year. Bummer about Klincky missing it but fate was really being tempted with that shake not being sorted....those boots may have just saved you more than a Td fee mate. Shame though...ive got the sqme boots and they were going spare but the timing would have been all wrong anyway i guess.

Absolutely fan-friggin-tastic day! EasyTracks are so easy to deal with, you even get a little respect, they were great hosts for the day. The day started off a little damp, which gave way to glorious 24c sun - Scorchio. By the afternoon sessions the pace had picked up and we were all grinning like halfwit idiots after sessions.

Man I'm gutted, not about the day, not about crashing, not about the new holes in my leathers and gloves but I'm gutted because the photographer completely missed my crash.
What he didn't mention when he came to tell me what happened while I was waiting behind the tyre wall, was that he had just stopped taking pics and was just leaving that spot to go somewhere else and didn't actually get any pictures of the crash itself.
So was all excited about getting some high quality shots of me sliding on my ass and all he had was this
I did get it on video but it's not really as exciting from the bike perspective, will upload it soon
Despite the crash it was an awesome day, only 10 people in the fast group so plenty of room on track and they even let the advanced group bunk out of the briefing as soon as all the legal stuff was said so we had plenty of time to get ready as we were first out, makes a nice change from the mad rush with other TDOs
I came in early on the first session as it was damp and bike was a bit twitchy underneath me.
Missed the second session while the Suspension guy worked on my bike as after the feeling on the first session and bouncing it around a bit I reckoned it was a bit too hard, didn't feel like there was much sag, I hadn't had chance to check sag after replacing the springs and it didnt feel right so figured it was time well spent and track was still drying out anyway, there wasnt enough sag so he sorted that out, and dialled in some settings
I think it was about this time I talked monty into moving up to the fast group, he was on the edge already having been passing a number of people in inters, I just helped push him over.
Out for the 3rd session and track is drying out nicely, sun is peeking through on occassion, druids is taking longer to dry out but there's a dry line and some damp patches on paddock hill still
Monty is pretty happy he moved up as well as he can just get on with it now
Couple of slowish riders in this fast group, I even lapped one of em but there was one guy who was a bit of a liability and would come past shoulder to shoulder between you and the grass in places you would not expect and then he'd hold you up
4th session is going pretty well for me, track is pretty dry and I guess I got sucked in to that fact which then saw a slightly higher than normal line in druids end up with me thinking oops, what happened there as me and the bike are sliding across the track, I let go of the bike and roll over a bit to spread any wear on the leathers
I get straight up, pick up the gopro which has come off and get the bike upright and over to the tyre wall, run back for the crash bung I spotted on the grass and then jump over the tyre wall, a couple of minutes later the photographer came walking down and tells me I hit a damp patch which took me out, he points to some nice big black lines I've left just leading from said damp patch
I'd kind of hoped with me safely stowed away and bike that they might just keep the session going, but I think they still pulled everyone in, felt like had been out a while though so not sure what was missed, the first aid and marshalls pull up on track and the marshalls tell me to come over and talk to the first aid guy and I'm guessing the fact I clambered back over the tyre wall and then jogged over to him was enough for him as he asked if I was alright, I said yes and he said ok, come and see em if anything changes and go to race control for a new wristband
Go back to the bike and the marshalls are discussing the possibility of just riding it back to the pits and so get me to jump on and get it started and then off I go, job done
Next to nothing is even scraped, the lower crash bung snapped off on the rod that runs through the engine and the upper bung bent, bar end was scraped, belly pan was scraped but I'd been getting that down already in clearways, brake foot pedal stub is scraped and bent upwards but the £10 DHM footpegs just folded and only slightly scraped on the edge, nice one, frame tabs didn't even get bent.
Swapped the left side upper bung to the right, took the spacer with the snapped piece of engine bolt in it off of the lower bung and put the slightly worn and shorter bung on to the left upper, just to have something there, the engine mount rod doesn't seem to be going anywhere after tapping it with a hammer so I figure I'm good to go again, lovely jubbly
Bit less confidence in the afternoon sessions but was proper sunny all afternoon, only managed to get from pit lane to druids on the 2nd of the afternoon as the frankenbike had dumped its oil but I think they gave us an extra ten minutes on the last one.
Good to meet BLB and Monty and see Bic and Schnauzer again, even WHUFC popped down to say hello, so all in all a bloody good day out

Nice report TJ - glad you're OK.
From the picture it looks like you left the track quite late in the turn, you missed the big gravel trap at the apex anyway.
I'm sure I read a post in which you mentioned going 'round the outside of people there, and at first I wondered if you'd been shown the outside of the track (which is very easily done there.)
Shame I missed what sounds like a great day. The fact that I'm on here before 6am shows how well my battle against jet lag is going - IE poorly.

Well finally got a reply from Easytrack. They had my number written down wrongly, said payment was declined (not according to my bank) and although my email address was correct I didn't receive the one they sent. Hmm anyway as a good will gesture they have offered me Brands on the 18th July at half price! Have to say I can't imagine FE or one of the others offering that kind of service.

Cheers, just left it as it came off the camera, watching it frame by frame it's amazing how far the gopro went, in the thrill of it all I thought it had just fallen off and gone a cross the grass a bit but it looks like it flew up in the air, possibly hit the tyre wall and then bounced back nearer to the bike, some mad distorted shots on there where you can see me and the bike from above, will pull a couple out and post em when I get a chance

This is result on 'fine' setting. Looks like it can deliver a very close crop. Good for getting to the roots of daisies and troublesome buttercups.

Well then here goes, briefish report from me.
4am start from Yeovil with the Corporate transport and a free trailer from a friend of a friend of a friend of a friend ( yep thats right ) wasn't as bad as expected, Picked Monty up and grabbed the already loaded bikes from work and got on the motorway. All fine until literally 1 mile from Brands when we bumped into Bic at the fuel station and then went the wrong way out and ended up down some country lane towards the circuit instead of the main one(my fault), found the main road then followed signs to paddock entrance not main entrance(montys fault) eventually got there at 7.45 to find Bic already there and sound tested. TJ and Schnauzer arrived shortly after and got unloaded too. TJ had my official SD T-shirt ready too, top man!
Found our reserved garages thanks to Easytrack and unloaded all the stuff from the motor and got the bikes off, sound testing with baffles in 94db Montys R1 was 105. signed on easily, got ready and off to the briefing. This was great they actually treated you like a friend and not some scumbag like FE do, nice little touch was to make you shake hands with the guy next to you. Fast boys get shorter briefing, Inters and novice still have to listen to the still brief extra bits needed.
So as the others said it was pretty damp to start, first session was 9.20 and out myself, bic and monty went. This was good just trying to get a feel and being smooth on the throttle, brakes etc. Think I held my own in the wet, not too many passed me so that was good too. Monty moved up to fast after this.
Came in and went to see the suspension guy that I had arranged previously and he said to come down after next session, this was a good one too. Track drying slowly, had one small slide from the rear at Paddock hill but otherwise fine and getting quicker. Came in and went to have the suspension done, he seemed to know his stuff Kevin Maxted (endurance racer apparently) I had no clue what to say about it but he did my sags no trouble. As he was doing this I missed half a session but didn't mind cos it was still damp but drying.
Went out for 4th session and the bike felt much better, less dive under braking and less squat at the rear when accelerating hard plus keener to turn. As I couldn't fault it, I paid my 35 quid got my setup sheet and got on with the rest of the day. On this 4th session I timed it using trackmaster on my phone and a gps dongle, my fastest lap was 64.79 not bad but wanted quicker. Oh and I filmed it too, i'll get a link to facebook later when its uploaded. Also on this session I had a bit of a laugh at a guy who was in our garage on a s1000rr, he came round me at druids and ran out of track on to the grass. Almost double the horsepower and half the talent! Nice guy but had no idea how to work all the electronics on his bike and went out in the damp in race mode?
Then it was lunch, had a chance to have a bit of a chat with Bic, Schnauzer, Monty and TJ and whufc1 turned up too. What a bloody nice group of guys, all very helpful lots of advice and Jules had the circlip pliers for me to get my baffles out and bring the noise! Poor TJ's crash was a bummer but he just shrugged it off, got his bike repaired and went racing again. Big respect for that.
Oh and Ian you need to get ontrack asap you will love it!
After lunch the sun shone lovely and all I wanted to do was just chase my lap times down, this was all incident free and easy. Had some fun chasing a guy on a gsxr, In one session I would catch him on the corners and at clearways everytime I was gonna do him he just fooked off, this happened for about 4 laps until I got him. Loved it. I got passed loads but passed a few too, especially enjoyed the round the outside on clearways overtakes. Down to a 63.20 that session.
Next one was 61.8 and then on the final session did a 61.44 so all in all quite happy with that on the same tyres as Bic and on a "shopping bike" as Ducati Pete would call it. Last session I sat in behind Bic for a bit and did some more video which I'll also upload to facebook. I reckon I can break a minute but need a clear track and another 2 sessions and bigger balls.
So all in all it was a bloody great day, if only I could get Graham HIll bend sorted then I think I could shave a bit more time off. With that we packed up nice and easy and set off back to Weymouth to drop Monty and his bike off, back to work in Yeovil to unload the bike, drop trailer off to owner just outside yeovil and get home about 10.30!
Knackered doesn't even come close, Bic and Monty I'm 10 years younger and my legs must hurt twice as much! Thanks to Jules for the pliers, TJ for the t-shirt and the water, Bic for the moral support and Monty for the company and the diesel money!
Highlights were smiling every session, kneedown round clearways, druids and paddock hill. Watching the BMW screw his overtake and run off ( he only hurt his pride, nothing else ) the little races with the equal machinery and meeting everyone. I hope to be at the summer crashfest but we'll see, times are hard.
Oh just been chatting to the guy with the yellow hornet on TDR and he said the Superdukes were absolutely the best sounding bikes there and he described us as amazing!

Have we ever had a trackday where none of us crashed? I cant remember one, except a couple of Lyddens where there was only me and Pete. Not even sure about that as Shade crashed on one of the Lyddens. Maybe Bedford last May?
Maybe Brands one Feb, 2008 ish, I was there with Pete, Schnauzer, Andyp and Toby. I know Toby crashed about that time but it may have been the trackday (evening) before.
Otherwise
Snett: Me
Rockingham: Motoronin (who else?)
Cadwell: everyone
Brands: Schanuzer, Toby. TJ
Everywhere: Motoronin, Bigash
Abroad: Dirty Pete
Lydden: Shade, TJ
Not exactly a crash but going so slowly gravity toppled them over: Freestyler, Weeksey
I am sure Klincky has crashed somewhere but cant recall exactly.

Maybe he was a fan of the A Team and trying BA Barracus motivation coaching?; ' Hey fool, you aint fast, quit your jibba jabba, If I catch you actin like a crazy foo again, you gonna meet my fren pain...............grrrrrrr'
But really I think he was just a twat with an oversized ego.

This thread sure makes a trip from Bristol all the way to Cadwell appealing. Bloody long way though. Any idea if there are any spaces left for the August meet?

Guys, did any of you have the round akro slip ons and pass the 105DB test without baffles?

All of ours were unbaffled with no trouble, Jamie's got the round akros and it was fine.

I've got the full Ti-system with Evo silencers and I've got through the 105db noise test three times without the baffles in. I think it comes in at 104db at 6K revs. Also my SD just passed MOT today without the baffles in - I took them with me and said that they should fit them if they felt that they needed to but when I went to pick up the bike they hadn't even bothered.

My round Akras were bang on 105 without baffles but I know some have had em measured at 103 before so prob depends on age of packing too.
Added a new Video
Last lap was best lap of the day at 56.52, although it looks like I might have missed a trick as somebody on TDR mentioned they mixed ADV and inters in the session after this one, presumably to make up for session 6 which was binned off due to the bike dropping its oil but I never heard the announcement if they did.

hi guys,
I recently bought a SD and moved to Kent. Next time you go for a track day to Brands Hatch, let me know. If I can, I would be happy to join you.
Ciao
