I believe the march date has been firstly opened to those that had the last one cancelled grandma.

[/size][/color]Will keep fingers crossed, as they already had the October one postponed because of the storm, be a shame to be disappointed twice.
Re: Brands Hatch ride skills day - Punkstig - 24-01-14
Yeah, although I ride all weather's I'd much prefer to do this on a warmer dry day!

Came off at Graham Hill so had a soft landing on grass, so no real harm done!
Re: Brands Hatch ride skills day - dazza - 24-01-14
Another good reason why we should wait till May I think. Slippery conditions has got to take the fun out of it a bit and to be perfectly honest the track sessions are the main reason a lot of people go, me included.

codgie, this event is structured to cater for all abilities and the emphasis is on having fun. So, don't know if you were serious or not but either way it's beneficial to all.
Just, had an e-mail from Jim and to get us on the same day I will need to give him the other names, somehow I don't think punkstig and kitcrazy is going to mean a lot to him :lol. So give me your real names foccer's (if their too embarrassing you can pm me) :b
Re: Brands Hatch ride skills day - Punkstig - 24-01-14
Adam Evans, I mentioned hearing about the day from a forum but not sure if I mentioned the foccers lol
Re: Brands Hatch ride skills day - dazza - 04-02-14
Ok foccers, I've had an e-mail from Jim giving me a slot on 24 March but I'm going to decline that one and hold out for a later one as I intend to fully rag it round that track. :b. So would rather it not be too slippery. He also mentioned that he didn't recognize punkstig's or kitkrazy's names on any of the emails and has asked if you would get back in touch to ensure we can get on together. So. If you both agree to get on a later date and want to go together drop him a line, cheers. Also any other foccer's seriously thinking of this get an e-mail sent mentioning the forum and opting for a later slot, say May I think would be good.
Re: Brands Hatch ride skills day - Punkstig - 04-02-14
Just emailed him to let him know who I am but also added (fazer owners club) to the subject field to make it easier for him to find who's who on emails!
Re: Brands Hatch ride skills day - kitcrazy - 04-02-14

The funny thing is for at least 4 years running March and April had fantastic weather, it was only last year that we still had snow!
The joys of british weather'
Re: Brands Hatch ride skills day - Punkstig - 06-02-14
Ok, so had an email offering the march date but declined it, Jim is open to us going as a group but we have to reply that we are on the forum.
So hopefully we could be free for the next date!?

I'm still trying to convince Exup, I think he's scared of looking like a pussy on the track!
