1st of November?

[G]

Do you know what time you're going and how many of you there are?...
I don't want to turn up and find out that all the for-hire minimoto's are being used for the next hour or something

[EuropeanNC30R...]

I think there's going to be around 8 of us, but i'm not sure about the time; be getting there pretty early though.

[G]

Ah, 8 shouldn't be a problem... I'd have been worried if there was thirty of you, or something

[EuropeanNC30R...]

how many bikes have they got then? I don't think anyone's been before so we'll probably be all over the place to start with. Some haven't ridden powered bikes before so might be a few mobile chicanes to contend with

[G]

About 10 maybe... but as it's only for 10 minute sessions, there should be plenty to go around.

I'm not sure how much of big-bike riding can be transferred, though Alex and I (who have both been riding bikes on and off for 5 years or so) did sseem to be doing abit better than the others... whether that's due to getting better 'lines' or being able to tell when the tyre's about to lose traction etc I don't know.

The first 5 laps or so everyone *will* wobble around .

[TiN]

Aye, they'll certainly be a few little pile-ups now and again Experienced riders will probably start off a little more cautiously, and therefore have fewer spills, but n00bs (like me) will probably try to attack every bend, lock up the wheels, and slide into the tyre walls

If anyone isn't gonna turn up (due to weather etc) could you give me a text/call or leave a message here...

My num is [edited], if you haven't got it.

[Ste]

Daft question, but what is best to take to ride in?

Jeans/ Jacket?

Any adivce welcome

[EuropeanNC30R...]

Er i'm taking my old leather bike jacket and wearing normal jeans, but I haven't been before.

is the track outside? it's a bit wet round here at the moment.
Does anyone know if they still race if its outside and its wet?

nice1

[G]

At some point I'll stick up a 'sticky' faq about what to take etc.

Normal jeans (preferably old ones you don't mind getting a bit knackered ) and a bike jacket should be fine.
Some toughish boots but not *too* inflexible (remembering the angle your feet have to be at), if not some old trainiers.

[Ste]

Jeans and trainers it is then

[WildGoose]

yes, though when you spill, and you will , you get tarmac marks on everything you are wearing, so dont wear your decent trainers, or jeans you like, or leathers you value the look of

and

not to put a dampener on things, pardon the pun, but the weather is looking really rather shite, so im not sure at the mo, cos its a long motorway trip to G's at it is, and then on to swindon, we are likely to get rather wet, unless in full waterproof gear

not definate yes, nor definate no for me yet

/me idles

[G]

I have waterproof stuff (well ... to some degree )...
*may* even be some spare stuff... but that'd mean getting tp mine... as I said can you give us a text/call/message here if you're not coming.

[Ste]

Well, im off shoe shopping tomorrow, so i dont mind

/me pats his waterproof kit mmm Goretex

Hmmm, Hope my jeans dont get too tarmaced!

[WildGoose]

im still thinking, i have waterproof one piece and stuff, but it just means a lot to carry to the place, and change etc

/me thinks

[G]

Well, luke's probably gonna be late anyway.

www.minimoto.co.uk

It it pretty easy to find.. probably best to ask me than find it on your own.


and
eeeekk
Apparantly there's been an accident on the M4 J13, whihc could slow us down a bit, if we're lucky it will have cleared by the time we go though... and hey we're on bikes anyway .

[PsychoHippy]

If I'd known you were all going tonight I'd have come, but I've been away from the forum for a few weeks (again!), so I didn't know.
Hopefully we will be able to make the next one, and anyone who wants to crash (bad choice of words?) at our place is more than welcome as we have beds and beer, and we only live 15 miles away!

[WildGoose]

\o/ for the hippies

i was gonna go tonight, but it got rained out down my end

didnt fancy a 2 hour ride in the pissing rain

we will make the next one a big one
