    Am on another forum where they do this. Basically most Organisers will give a 10% discount with little prompting if you get 10 or more people. Once at the track people congregate together to tell tales of daring do whilst waiting for their group. Apart from that it is like a normal track day, you do your own thing but have other people to talk with and get/give feedback about the track/riding style etc.

    Sounds good and a central place would be ideal. Somewhere for people from the north and south don't need to travel to far. July, Aug good for me But i'm away first 2 weeks of. Aug. Thinking Donny? Oulton park, Maybe Silverstone is to far south for some? Or Rocky?

    I would love a weekend so the wiffe and kids can come or school hols?

    I'll make time... I doubt I'd be camping (no van, no tent, no nothing...) but I'll ride up and then ride home after...

    Guys I would be really up for this :D

    How about Snetty? Rockingham is the closest track to me bar Bedford autodrome but it has an awful surface with it changing surface type on the apex of a couple of corners!! Feels more like a kart track....

    Is there a list of noise limits for uk tracks? Not everyone will have a baffle for their exhaust, inckuding me :) Also maybe worth budying up with people and renting a van for the bikes (approx £30 for the day) fez care to join me on this potentially? It wiuld be a shame if anyone binned their bike and then had to try and ride it home.

    For central circuits were talkin rockingham, donny, snetterton and silverstone

    Depends on the day for noise limits but based on noisy days-

    Snetterton 102db
    Cadwell park 105db
    Mallory Park 98db
    Brands hatch 105db
    Bedford 101db
    Donnington 105db
    Oulton Park 102db
    Silverstone 105db

    To give some who don't know an idea on noise levels my 59plate blade with Yoshi R77 without baffle scrapes in at 101db

    No limits say 105 for donny noisy day but there was no testing at Donny when I did mine end of April and with my baffle in my Yoshi R77 it was one of the quietest exhaust there. So no baffle needed for no limits noisy day at Donny

    Oulton is 160miles for me so wouldn't be coming to that! I might just scrape Cadwell at 90miles though.... Silverstone is a good track for getting the straight line blasts but I think Snetty has the most of everything, 2 long straights, at least 2 hairpins and fast left and right turns ;)

    Cadwell gets my vote. we could do with a map that people can put their location on who are interested so we can pick a central track to everyone

    Oulton is 155 from me and cadwell over 210 from me. Donny's 135 miles away. i'm happy travel but anything over 170-180 miles needs to be a 2 dayer.
