Club bike racing,16th 17th March, Brands Hatch - slimwilly - 05-03-19
Our race club holds its first race meeting of the year 16th 17th March, it's not too expensive to get in, come and have a look.
Blue R1 number 30 in one of the garages, total access to all areas, pit lane, garages, you can get to see it all.
We are testing on Friday,free entry I think.
Some very fastriders ,loads of classes, 125s , two strokes, old classics. And all the modern stuff too.

Too old now. When I was younger, I never had the time or money. Now Ive just not got the money, but Im happy to do trackdays and pretend Im racing

Good for you Agricola and fair play. Over the years I 've met and have as friends people who are shit hot on a motorbike, or playing guitar, or amazing at art. And sadly none of them have made a living out of there talent.
As long as you're happy and enjoying what you do.Then you can't really ask for more.

Re: Club bike racing,16th 17th March, Brands Hatch - slimwilly - 08-03-19
Eyes peeled, seen anything ?
Re: Club bike racing,16th 17th March, Brands Hatch - robbo - 08-03-19
What an absolute choker. Was that the Bemsee meeting. Not much in the way of gate security either, I expect. Scratchers Lane/A20 then either M20 or M25 and gone. Bastards.
Re: Club bike racing,16th 17th March, Brands Hatch - slimwilly - 08-03-19
Yes Bemsee meeting, test day ,no security I guess.
Two years ago at Donnington we were all there, some I garages some o tarmac in their own setups, someone jumped on a Ducati Ardmore past security, would not stop, no helmet, uptheroad and onto M1 , never to be seen again.
So we are all aware, eyes out, lock bikes,,

Had a day at Brands to watch Slim getting to grips with the Indy circuit. Managed a quick chat in his garage between practise sessions.
Did have a pic to post, but for some reason, no doubt me, I can't.
Good luck for the weekend Slim, stay safe.
