Brands Hatch ride skills day - dazza - 15-01-14
For those of you who expressed an interest some provisional dates have been set. It would be good if we could get a foccer contingent to enrole on the same date. Thoughts anyone ?

Some of you have been enquiring about dates for 2014 Ride Skills days at Brands Hatch with the Fire Bike Team, the latest news is that will are looking at holding events in the following months March, April, May, June, July, and August / September. I am still waiting for set dates and will advise you of these as soon as I have them!

Silly question maybe, but can you do one without a rideable bike? I am sure extra training will help me, but orders from above (i.e. Mum) mean that I have had to cancel the insurance on the ZX4 - and am not allowed to renew it until after Uni is over: Over a year and a hafl off bikes!! :'( :'(

No leather kit. Or I'd go.

Christo, yes, you're right, that was a silly question, in fact, it was unbelievably dumb. Unless of course, someone would be willing to lend you their bike. :rollin
Exupnut, get yourself on fleabay and get a cheapo 2nd hand set.

If you want, you can borrow my set. It's not as if I'm using them, and you're the same sort of size as me...

Re: Brands Hatch ride skills day - midden - 18-01-14
would this be a case of book individually or group booking?
Re: Brands Hatch ride skills day - dazza - 18-01-14
Strictly run what you brung for bikesafe I was told, for one you are taken on the road with an IAMS instructor and would imagine the slow speed control would be tricky on a track bike. Individual booking, but if a few of us want to go then perhaps mention in the email that we would like to go on the same date. Maybe later in the year when the weather should be better would also give us a better chance of getting the same date.

I hadn't even thought about the need for leathers
Looks like I may have to wait until finances are looking a bit better
