Hmm, that is tempting. But a bit far for me too unfortunately .

Have got that day off as well, I believe.

Maybe we could test out the snow tyres idea if the weather's on the cold side?

[Ste]

Yams... my brake pads fell out on the front brake just at the end of the straight pretty much flat out on mine

[Sparks!]

did it hurt when you went face first into the tyre wall?

lol straight out the pits and straight into the tyre wall at the far end is what i did on my first go. lol.. i couldn't get my left foot up so wobbled down the straight and forgot to corner

great way to spend £40 (altho got £20 back cos i didn't do any more after that 1st practice)

Just kidan hit the tyres, then went flying over them into a go-kart type thing they decided to store there

Minimoto are more robust than big bikes

At our local go-kart track they used to do mini-moto days.

Now it's changed name and run by a different company they stopped doing it.

I think wr400f used to go to the mini-moto days and won a few trophies.

If any of you have been to the go-kart track in Manchester, they own the one in Great Yarmouth. Changed quite a bit and nothing like the Manchester one.

There's a nice track in Beccles that run twin engined karts which would be great for mini-moto's.

Hello and welcome aboard.

That sounds like a lot of fun, but it's a bit far for me as well. If someone wants to drive down, I'd come along, but wouldn't fancy doing it on a bike at this time of year.

Didn't you kind of sail clean over the tyre wall Gav?

[Sparks!]

Yeah but I crashed in the first practice session of the day of a championship thing and couldn't go back on them because I hurt myself really badly lol Don't really fancy trying it again, but who knows.. might do

Crashing is all part of the fun I mean, gave crashed and broke some ribs, then went and bought one

[Dusty]

Another way to look at it is, it's probably better to test your limit on a mini moto, where if you crash it's not likely to hurt much, than to test them on a big bike, which is likely to hurt much.

I think riding the mini moto on track has helped with track days in that it gives you a good sense of whats going on around you and some idea how to put lines together for going through a series of corners.

So then guys I take that as a 'no' then eh?
Never mind, perhaps my supermotard track days could be more of an interest?
