Anyone ever taken a moped on a track day?

[L-Jam]

Is this even possible? Obviously, Brands Hatch or similar circuits wouldn't let you on no matter what, but are there smaller companies that do moped days? I cant help thinking that this would be absolutely hilarious, especially if you're used to riding 250cc+ bikes.

They don't allow bikes under 250cc on track as far as I know, unless you've got a 125gp bike or aprilia superteen...

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.

We did indeed. Ours was a one-off, but there are various proper short and endurance race series, which is the way to go.
Aren't really any trackdays - I'd consider taking out DNA out for a single session in a big trackday in the Novice group, but it'd get dangerous to do much more than that I suspect.
Saying that, if you're a quickish rider on a tight track with a decent 125 2 stroke scooter making full power, suspect you might annoy some sports bike riders .

[Deano]

that bloody DNA is sitting in andrews back garden rotting away and has been for bloody months, do any of you boys who paid for it wanna actually come and get it?

on another note email mallory park as i know they have done just scooter trackdays.

[G]

Plan was to pick it up some time when going to Gingers (off road track), but van was totally full last time. Cleared it out a bit this evening, so can probably do it next time. Not that I've got anywhere better to put it myself :-S.

[Gazdaman]

Hah, I wondered where that DNA was.

Luke's best on track on a moped.

I've never heard of cc limits on trackdays, but I'd suggest anything under 250cc is going to be dangerous and get in peoples way.

im done up a paggio zip to the point were it power wheelys off the touch of throttle and it can do that to about 20-25mph but after that point you can wheely it easy still at around 40mph, the toque of it is crazy, it is a 50cc, its been striped to the bone to the point that there is only the floor pannel to put your feet is on it now, its 100% spotless, i will take some pictures of it soon.
if someone offers the right money for my baby ill let it go.

[L-Jam]

Their are loads of trackdays for low capacity bikes.

www.lcrrc.co.uk have a look here.
Cheaper than 'proper' track days usually on big outdoor kart tracks, run up and down the country.
If your thinking of brands i'm guessing you're in Kent?
Lydd kart track will be near you, they hold regular practice/track days.
