From MSV:
"For the sessioned (Novice and Intermediate/Advanced) evening at Brands Hatch on Thursday 31st May (£79)If the group amounts to a minimum of 10 riders, everyone will receive a 10% discount on their booking.
The way group bookings normally work is that each rider has to phone up on 0843 453 3000, and supply us with their details. Once we have reached the 10 rider mark, we will process each order with the 10% discount. Every booking made thereafter up to the event will also receive the 10% off.
The details we need from each rider are:
· Group Name (Londonbikers)
· Full Name
· Address , Telephone Number, E-mail Address
· Manufacturer and Model of Bike
· Card payment details including start/expiry date and three-digit security code
We will also ask over the phone if they would like to include additional vehicles or one to one Instruction sessions (£25 per 20 min session) on the day. These additional costs will also be eligible for the 10% discount offer."
Last time I did an evening sess at brands I went flying off, so no thanks. :ermm:
I prefer day sessions where I dot have to rush to get there and be in the post-work frame of mind. Like 21st May at snetterton300 if anyones interested
I’m going with 1 or 2 others from work (I think) and will ride my own CB1000R, although I am tempted to use a hire bike… less worries about binning it perhaps. Is it expensive?
Well that would be me too Plum. Would be my first, hence I was asking how the grouping worked… If 10 of us went, I assume we might be split across Novice, Intermediate and Advanced?
Here’s the event link. And the timetables. If 10 go and your all novice you’ll all be in novice. They wont force anyone into inter group if your not happy. You book into novice when you sign up on the web site. So it could fill up in theory and you wont be able to book.
According to the timetable though registration is early - 1530 till 1645. So unless Andrew has other arrangements with them…
As for complete n00bs MSV are pretty good in my expereicne. If its your first time, they have instructors there for 25 quid a time or something so might be worth booking a session to follow an instructor round. But just ride your own pace that you are familiar with. Aim for fast A-road. Dont try to be a hero and discover a hidden talent on your first session! And you’ll be fine. I’d advise getting there in plenty of time dont rush down there and rush through the process. You should give yourself enough time to set your frame of mind to calm, relaxed and happy before you go out on track

I have taken my FZ1 on track before and you can’t help worrying about her which is what convinced me hire bikes are the way forward. Either that or I might buy a track bike one day but I need a trailer etc too so probably wont do that this year.

I didnt think it bothered me using my own bike until I did Ron Haslam and realised that you can do so much more when you arent thinking about fixing it or riding it back home. I definitely dont regret getting a trackbike…but I do regret only using three times last year!
