Having said that I think it makes more power than my SD did last time it was out at Cadders - dynoed later at a massive 86bhp.

Miller was flying in that clip! Nice of you to park up in the braking area at the end of park straight to let him through again!
Really a shame it ended like that, not only did he hurt himself, but he scuffed up my tie "best looking SD of all time."
Stalker's compilation makes me laugh - watching it agin raises a question I must ask him.

Expect it to be about £300 for the 3 days, camp on site for £5 a night (unless you're sabre) I expect Klinck will arrange us a special deal! Do as many days as your body can handle or until the bike blows or you crash!

I have done inters before but best do 1st day in slow/novice I think because (1) it's been ages since I was on a track (2) the last time I was I left in an ambulance. I should be OK though, everyone says SDs crash well
From what I can see, the idea is to join Trackday Riders to get the 10% and book direct with NL?

Three day Crashfest will be immense, count me in. Inters I reckon, although might see if I can go fast enough to sneak up - Klink when you said you reckon fast group would run from about 1:35s to high 1:50s, are you talking 1:50.9, or a bit longer?
Looking forward to it already!

T-shirts/ hoodies for this years festival of crashing? The shop that did the last batch for us still has the designs on file - I went and checked. So what are peeps views for this year? Design work etc is in the hands of the gifted - Millar that means you and from memory superdan came up with some good designs last time as well..... I'm happy to pick them up and collate the order so to speak..... Anyone who messes the ordering process up will answer to Lydia!

Also. As anyone who does track days with me before knows that I always book into inters - mainly because I'm a bit lazy, not that fit, old and injured, usually tired because of the kids and also usually distracted with work or other issues so not focussed enough. I find I want to take it easy on some of the sessions and don't want to hamper and get in the way of the fast boys. But really, I often get pissed off with the speed of the inters and wish I was in the fast group.
But I haven't done Cadders before so I'll be learning the track at first. What's the collective advice on this? Should I book into inters and maybe hope to move up? Klinky...can you help with this? Mate, I'd really appreciate going out and having an assessment with you. Have a follow of you round to learn the best lines and then you tell me what I'm doing wrong. You know this track mate, it's not Brands is it! Can I get this with you as an instructor whatever group I'm in with or are you not on duty during these dates?
Really committed to coming this year, missed out so many times!

instuction is normally done on a first come first served basis.
so if you want to go out with craig in a certain session, say so before someone else. simples.
as its your first time at cadders i would go inters first day. it is a very narrow track and there is no run offs other than grass.
what you book for the next day is your call really. but craig knows your ability's better than me so he may say different.

This will be my first track day for a few years, my first ever on the SD and my first at Cadwell. Although I have done a fair bit of track riding in total and most of that in the fast group I was concerned not to get in anybody's way due to the long lay off and all the firsts mentioned above so I have booked inters for day one and fast for day two. Most of the things Bic mentioned also apply to me so I think this cautious approach makes most sense. If I'm up to speed quickly I will try and change groups on day one or if I have lost it completely and cant keep up I can down group on day two. Just going for a laugh so not really bothered either way.
I will be renting a van and coming from Oxford probably the night before (5th) If I'm passing anybody on the way there would be plenty of room for a second bike so I could collect and split costs etc but remember I'm just doing the first two days.
Will bring some spanners and booze, sleep in the van and hope for good weather!
I wonder how dusty / mouldy the leathers are - haven't seen them for a couple of years!!
Really looking forward to it

Been three or more years since I have been on track, I have never ridden the SD on track and hardly ridden it at all for six months so I thought I should make a bit of effort to get ready.
Amongst other things I got the KTM gell seat and a CF seat hump. I also pulled out my old racing leathers and after much scrubbing with baby wipes they looked OK. Much to my surprise I actually still fitted in the leathers so thought I should go out and see if I remembered how to ride. I always feel a bit ridiculous in a romper suit on the road but figured if I was going fast enough it would just be a reddish blur for motorists so why worry.
Bikes going great but I encountered an unexpected problem, there was zero friction between my arse and the saddle, None!! This was a weird and quite insecure feeling, I would slide back under acceleration, hard braking had me up against the tank, once I got familiar with it sliding side to side was actually quite amusing but still felt very strange. I have ridden any number of sports bikes on track in this suit and never experienced anything like it, I'm not sure if it would preclude maximum attack or not but I suspect it would be a hindrance at full pace, especially on the brakes.
Anybody else experienced this?? If yes any suggestions for increasing arse to saddle friction (an obvious open goal for piss taking!!)
Incidentally my pace was quite good but I couldn't get comfortable hanging off at all due to the mandelbars and upright riding position. I will keep at it but have to break down years of sports bike muscle memory, will be interesting to see if some actual track riding allows a breakthrough!

I have the same trouble, get some stompgrip or techspec snakeskin on the tank that will help a lot to grip with your legs. I think it helps to move around a bit though, takes less effort than lifting your ass out of the seat to hang off.
Of course you probably know all this. It could be all the cleaning agent in your leathers making them slippery too.

I have a project in Malysia that I wish would go away, and another one in Scotland.
Nice to have a plan if I can't get it ready, also if I turn up and find my bike isn't good for some reason, I won't have a chance to test it.

Well I'm locked in - have booked the flights and hire car Etc. I'll be driving from Heathrow to Cadwell Park starting in the late afternoon on the 5th (about 16:00).
To me the route looks like:
M25->M1->A421->A1->A1139->A47->A16->A17->A52->B1192 (approximately St Albans, Milton Keynes, Peterborough, Louth ...)
I'll need to find a pub to stay overnight so has anyone got any suggestions for a quaint English style place along the way?

Spoke to Mark about putting my go pro on the inside of the left hander towards the mountain, on the mountain by the marshall post on the left at the side of the mountain and at the inside of the hairpin, he likes the sound of it but said he will chat with MSV, said I would do a NL ProMo vid in return so he is chatting with MSV to see if he can do it, so feel free to try and coax him into the right decision (will get some epic mountain jumping/wheelie shots in slow mo). Not told him about about using a a NL instructor to take my swivel cam on track though at lunch on one of the days

My plan is to drive up on Saturday, kip in the van sat night and be there bright and early (well early anyway) for registration on Sunday morning. So my first question is will I be able to park overnight at Cadwell having unloaded the bike or will I be locked out till Sunday morning?? Will also be kipping in the van for Sunday night but I doubt this will be an issue.
What's the fuel situation there? I will top the bike up and bring my Jerry can but that wont last two days, fuel on site or local gas station??
In addition to the bike, some tools, fuel, a crate of booze and a hip flask I'm wondering what to do about food. Is there a SD.Net BBQ etc planned or is it every man for himself?? Happy to bring some burgers / sausages etc if that helps. With regard to non alcoholic drinks for the days I'm assuming that there will be a shop on site?
Looking forward to seeing you all there!
Superdan
2014-06-19 13:26:00 UTC
There is fuel on site, expensive though, Louth is a ten minute drive away but only one garage lets you fill jerry cans.
Bring meat, lots of meat and buns/biscuits/bacon, enough to last till Monday then we are chucking money in the kitty to buy alcohol/ice/more food (it goes off) there is a restuarant that sells drinks but bring your own, waaaaay cheaper.
I will be bringing my bin black bucket which will hold a few tinnies, but not everyones!

BEDDING-IN PROCEDURE FOR SBS-DC
When changing for SBS-DC from using another type of brake pad material - Follow this Bedding-in procedure very carefully:
1. Remove existing friction material deposit from brake discs - using eg. emery paper #150.
2. Do a series of gentle brakings until pad-surface is in full contact with disc-surface.
3. After pad/disc contact is achieved - repeated short brakings building up heat in discs and pads until a very thin and uniform dull/black/darkblue layer of friction material (transfer film) is established on the brake disc.
4. Then a period to allow discs to cool again before proper use.
5. Then a few easy laps building up heat - ready for race use.
AND
Characteristics:
Thermal bedding-in and brake fade eliminated by use of DEST technology.
High initial bite
High friction level and progressive brake feel
High thermal stability
Consistent brake performance and brake lever position
Low pad wear
Rotor friendly due to transfer film generated on disc surface
Available for the majority of new Superstock, Supersport and racing brake calipers
Recommended for top level international and national championship road racing
For race use only

Just got to fetch my 40T Renthal in the morning on the way to work. Hopefully monster some bikes out of the corners that way?
Just contemplating a tent or kipping in the van (since I'm solo hiring might get my monies worth!).

Keith and Monty have been tarmac surfing. Both are ok, bikes a bit worse for wear.
I'm sure one of the attendees will give more info at some point.

Loved Cadwell, good to be able to put some faces to names that I have seen on here for years and to see how the old tractor performed on track.
Shot some watchable footage so will do a trackfest virgin post when time allows and once I have figured out how to upload vdeo in a way that allows it to be seen here.
Thanks to all. Even Stalker was nice to me, figure that out.....

(Edited video will be uploaded to this post when I get some done but here is a raw early session from day 2. The guy at the start is Superdan, the riding starts at about 1.40 and the SD I'm chasing and messing around with is Monty. Don't be too cruel!)
Here is the public dropbox link to the video. I cant seem to get it to show as a video link despite pasting it between the image and url brackets. perhaps a mod can fix that for me?
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/lvq0056m7e7w ... PR6114.MP4
I am not much shy of 50, have had the SD for about 4 or 5 years (can’t remember exactly) I have never ridden it on track, have done no track riding at all for five(ish) years and have never been to Cadwell Park. This is the story of my first Crashfest adventure…
A little context…
Before the SD I had had any number of IL4 sports bikes including the usual suspects from Honda and Yamaha. My last bike before the SD was a very nice K5 Gixer 1000 (all black) which got used on the track quite a lot. In fact I had almost given up road riding as it was hopelessly boring below three figures and my luck had been pushed a lot further than anybody’s luck ever should be.
The SD purchase was to try and enliven the road riding on something that would feel fun without doing 140MPH+. To an extent it worked, I like to go out, cane it for a bit, get a fix and then park it up knowing it’s there when the urge / opportunity next rises. It had a few thousand miles on it when I got it and about 6K now so it’s been enjoyed but not used all that much.
My last track day was in my sons first year and he has just turned six so I think about 5 years ago. Five years is a long break, the SD is a very different animal to that which I had been used to and I had never done Cadwell before. When I stopped I was a moderately swift fast group rider (never the absolute fastest but closer to the pointy end than the back) but that all seemed a long time ago.
SD.Net was my first bike forum experience and, in addition to the useful technical stuff I have enjoyed following the international SD community even pitching in every now and then myself. After so long I was really interested in meeting some of the people behind the posts and it was this as much as the chance to see if I could still ride a bike that made me sign up for this years Crashfest. I did so with some trepidation hoping I wouldn’t embarrass myself too much!!
I decided to go up Saturday, sleep in the van and ride Sunday / Monday. This turns out to have been a good choice. I got the only dry session Sunday morning (The first one) and Monday was glorious and sunny with perfect track conditions all day.
All the SD guys I met were great, even the ones not riding their SD’s. Special mentions go out to;
Gin Reaper for the suspension advice and for offering to swap his ropey old worn out SD for my nice low mileage one. I have considered it carefully and decided that we should What with the Duchess and mini reaper all packed into a customised track day van you guys have got it sussed!!
To Stalker for showing me the proper line round one or two of the bends (not that I stuck to them nearly as often as I should) and for not laughing too loudly at my amazing inability to pass people miles slower than me because I have apparently forgotten how to do so!! (Video evidence to follow)
To Monty for the chase and follow sessions (yes on the bikes) allowing some good SD video footage to be shot and for having the balls to get on the SD having totalled his Kwaker on Sunday in quite a nasty crash.
To Dan for his excellence in chilling beer and burning meat. Also for helping me load / unload the van, gutted to hear that you crashed (again) on the Tuesday. Hope you and the bike are soon fixed up!!
To Schnauzer for parking his rather lovely Panigale next to my van and making everybody think it was mine for a while.
To John Man for making the epic journey from down under and taking a day out of an already heavy travel schedule to come show his face.
To Paul, Woody and everyone that I have forgotten to mention for being good company and for making it a laugh.
To the riding then…
Waiting for the first session on day one I felt a bit like a condemned man and a fraud about to be exposed. I had entered inters for day one and fast for day two. Once we got under way I started to relax and enjoy the riding but I was very inconsistent and just on the back of the inters pace. Didn’t help that on the first two laps my bike stopped under hard braking on a downhill section. Had it done so once more I would have come in but it ran perfectly after that for the whole of the meeting so I stayed out. Don’t think I overtook anybody but by the session end I was slightly more consistent and a bit faster so there was some progress.
Will post up a couple of laps from the first and last sessions of the day for comparison.
It then rained so hard we got that floor haze thing where the bouncing rain produces a few inches of fudged margin between atmosphere and ground. They closed the track for a while and I didn’t get out till after lunch. The rest of the day saw slowly improving laps and the pace crept up.
Quick video of the rain to follow...
For day two I should have been in the fast group and in truth the pace was there for that but I fancied staying in the inters and working on a few things so swapped and did that. First session was great, then went out for a session following and then leading (only because he let me) Stalker after which he gave me some good advice and didn’t laugh. Main things were to stop second guessing myself when overtaking (get on with it) and regarding body position. Taking the later first, after years riding sports bikes, hanging off the side and grinding sliders I seem incapable of doing the same on the SD. My arse slides over but my torso stays inline which sort of twists the body and is useless!! I never did seem to solve this, I think with enough track time I would eventually re learn the skill but for now at least it’s left the building. To get a proper fast lap time I would need to crack this.
If Monty posts some video you will be able to see for yourself.
The overtaking thing was really funny. I would close on a gaggle of bikes easily and then cruise round behind for ages before finally working through mostly on the brakes. I just couldn’t seem to trust that they weren’t going to suddenly change line as I was passing and take me out or I didn’t want to startle them. I’m not sure really but the result as the video shows is that I often rolled early on the straights or in the longer corners hanging well back until a sharp breaking area allowed an easy slow speed pass. Again I think that would probably return with practice, I used to be quite good at getting through traffic so it’s in there somewhere.
A few laps playing with Monty and chasing down some sports bikes will get pasted in here eventually
Overall I loved it but what did I learn?
The SD, though old tech and way down on power is bloody good fun on the track and can easily keep up with modern sports bikes unless they are ridden with skill. A good rider on an SD will not be beaten by a modest rider on the latest Kwakker on a tightish track like Cadwell.
In acceleration out of slow corners and braking I think the SD actually has an advantage, especially in braking.
I learned that a van with a proper camp bed is infinitely better than a tent. I was actually warm and comfortable – superb!
I saw the Gin Reapers SD and learnt that SMR wheels fit the SD and look much better than the standard ones I have as does the SDR seat conversion and the anthracite side fairings. I am now actively in the market for all of these as swaps + cash or just outright purchase just in case anybody reading wants to deal.
I learned that round arka’s noise test at 98 DB.
Mostly what I learned is that there is no better way to shrug off the day to day concerns of life than turning fuel into noise on two wheels with a bunch of like minded idiots
If its running again next year I will be there and I hope to see some of you before that so will keep an eye on any track stuff that’s being organised.

It's one in the morning and I am still up, more on that later.
Arrived Saturday night usual hellos, there were some new faces, Shadowman and a guy on SDR who had issues joining the forum, we did well pitching up out usual plot and obtained a good stomping ground. It has to be said there were a few less SD's than usual years mind, some last minute no shows too, those that could make it were missed.
As I was not riding till Tuesday I was able to get on the beer, and plenty of it, Motoronin would have been proud.
Spend a bit of Sunday watching the rain but it soon cleared up, I brought a gazeebo which somehow I lost to squatters rights to Dubs and Bikes and Woody?! However Dubs and naps as he was known is now Faffs and naps

Well as the dropbox public image link doesnt work on this forum I'm thinking a url might be more successful...
Out of curiosity if anybody knows what I did wrong in pasting the public image link between th Img brackets that stopped the picture from showing I would be grateful for a heads up. Its the corect link as the URL works fine.
Thanks

To be fair had quite a concussion, not seen stars like that before.....I knew they could not do much for a broken rib but just making sure no other complications or injuries.
No did not know her, I went to school with her brother though! Had a good chat on the way to Grimsby.
