Don't know if you have date confirmed yet, but saw Jim last week and as far as I am aware so far they are March 25th. May 6th both Tuesdays and June 30th a Monday. If I hear any different as so far only March 25th on MSV website, will let you know.

We've already dismissed the march date, think we're all looking at May!

Jim says he has you down for May this link may help for hire of leathers

Ok, for those that don't check emails regularly I've had one from Jim today offering us either may 6th or June 30th, what's the general consensus- I'm easy for either, and life in general!

"You're easy" - Laughed pretty hard at that one!!

Hmm, is it worth the challenge of getting my bike built for the 30th?

Depends on whether it survives your ownership or not...

ChristoT · « **Reply #83 on:** 17 February 2014, 11:37:38 pm »

Does modding count as survival?

Dead Eye · « **Reply #84 on:** 18 February 2014, 12:59:00 am »

I guess so... but relationships with German estates, tarmac and grass verges don't count as modding (amongst many other items)

dazza · « **Reply #85 on:** 18 February 2014, 04:13:55 am »

I don't mind what month we go as long as it's dry. If you would prefer June kitcrazy then that's ok with me. Anyone else got a preference?

Is fires in garages on that list?

Dead Eye · « **Reply #87 on:** 18 February 2014, 11:07:24 am »

Yes. Stop hijacking threads :P

I know this doesn't exactly help make a decision but I can do either. Dazza, make an executive decision! ;-)

Punkstig · « **Reply #89 on:** 18 February 2014, 02:37:52 pm »

June it is then, I shall be booking tonight!

dazza · « **Reply #90 on:** 18 February 2014, 04:29:31 pm »

HarryHornby · « **Reply #91 on:** 19 February 2014, 08:38:51 am »

I shall do the same! :-) JUNE!

Buzz · « **Reply #92 on:** 19 February 2014, 09:34:54 am »

Booking for June too, I'll let Jim know. This will undoubtedly be my fastest experience in/on a motorised vehicle, my hands are getting a little sweaty already!

Zero. If there's a Kindergarten group then I'm in it!

Things are gonna get expensive for you after June then because you're going to want to do some full track days lol

dazza · « **Reply #99 on:** 24 February 2014, 10:16:21 pm »

Never done a dedicated track day but have done the brands hatch road skills Day before. What I lack in experience I make up for in pure ignorance.
