Guest Nogbad Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 I am going to book a Cadwell track day with Hopp Rider Training on Tuesday May 9th. Cost per person is £140. I did one of their days before and really enjoyed it, you won't get any hooliganism or idiocy and no-one fell off. Is anyone interested in coming with me? I will be riding up the day before and will probably book 2 nights accommodation so I don't need to ride back straight afterwards.
helicopterjim R.I.P. Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 Do you have a loaner bike? I might come.

Guzzirider Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 Count me in Noggers- I will probably stay at the pub In have stayed in regularly for a couple years. Jim- you can borrow an R6 from us if you like. Guy P.S. Hooliganism and idiocy are on their way!!
Guzzirider Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 This is where I normally stay- a nice pub with B and B in a pleasant leafy village only 10 minutes from the circuit. Good food and beer although its wise not to go mental the night before when it comes to eating and drinking. http://www.blackhorse-donington.co.uk/ Guy
helicopterjim R.I.P. Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 Well now. That is a really nice surprise. I actually may be crossing the water in May to visit my neice so now I will have to make those plans match up. I wonder what they will think of my leathers when they check me at customs..... By the way I really would enjoy having a ride but mostly I would have a lot of fun just coming to a track day and meeting you fellows! I'll keep in touch on this one!
Guzzirider Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 One possible problem at Cadwell when it comes to guests from abroad- because it is one of the Jonathan Palmer circuits they insist on you producing a valid driving licence before going on track- if Jim wanted a ride we would need to investigate this first and check that a Canadian licence is ok. Guy
helicopterjim R.I.P. Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 I could bring my racing licence too!
Guest Nogbad Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 I guess the best thing to do is book individually, and keep in touch via the thread. Last time I went it was a good day, quite intensive. I regret not getting local accom last time for the night after. I didn't use the last session, realising if I did I would be too tired to ride the 120 miles home.
Baldini Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 Nogbad, what does the day involve? How much/what sort tracktime? Thanks, KB

Thanks, KB 75151[/snapback] If you click on the link there is a full explanation. Your bike must be road legal with everything working. In the B and C groups there is tuition in the morning and free group sessions in the afternoon. If you are group A it is different and you use a separate booking form. Last time I went the A group were very fast, but as a crap old fart I would never aspire to join them. I will be happy to get into group B! It won't be a hooligan trackday, as they try to teach stuff you can transfer to the road.
Guzzirider Posted January 21, 2006 Posted January 21, 2006 Road legal? No noisy pipes? Normally not a problem at Cadwell but I will ring them before booking as I refuse to put the horrible standard pipes back on. Guy

What they mean is no "track bikes" brought there in a van!
antonio carroccio Posted January 21, 2006 Posted January 21, 2006 ...I wonder what they will think of my leathers when they check me at customs..... If you are not wearing one of this, it will be a piece of a cock.....ooops sorry, a piece of a cake
