Re: Brands Hatch ride skills day - codgie - 19-01-14

would this help people who cant go round corners??? :lol



Re: Brands Hatch ride skills day - dazza - 19-01-14

Been thinking about this. Maybe those interested should agree on a month, say may/june give the weather chance to improve, people get themselves some leathers and if we book it soon we should all be able to get on the same date. Just saying.

Re: Brands Hatch ride skills day - kitcrazy - 21-01-14

sounds like a plan Smile

since it's meant to be primarily about safer riding skills on the roads (or so i thought)and not racing surely having to have 1peice leathers eliminates a good number of the riders who probably need it most :\ [size=78%].[/size]

They hold different types of road skills days, holding this one at a track makes perfect sense as you can learn a lot more about what you and the bike are capable of on the track safer than on roads.
Having received an email it appears you can hire leathers for £45 for the day.
If you want to do their road skills training without the track sessions then pick a suitable training day!

Oooo no need for the strop '!'  :rolleyes

Re: Brands Hatch ride skills day - Punkstig - 22-01-14

Haha, no strop- text is easily misunderstood.
Tbh, I couldn't think of a better day for any track virgins, a nice comfortable learning day with no pressure associated with such!

Re: Brands Hatch ride skills day - midden - 22-01-14
