chris128 Posted January 20, 2010 Author Share Posted January 20, 2010 Well I've booked the £49 track day for this sunday at Cadwell gives me something to do this weekend. If I enjoy it then I'll certainly try and get to the March one as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Netmeister Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 Great stuff, good lad!Don't forgot to give us a report afterwards. I'm sure you'll be busting to tell everyone how great track riding is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris128 Posted January 20, 2010 Author Share Posted January 20, 2010 Will do I've sent them an email asking if I'm allowed to use a bike mounted camera when on track (but no response yet) so I'll put a little bit of video up if I get any Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest philgale Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 you can use a camera, sometimes you will need to report to race control that you have a camera on board and sign a weaver that your not gonna use the video for this that or the other...i use my camera all the time....

chris128 Posted January 20, 2010 Author Share Posted January 20, 2010 Yeah I know generally you are allowed but I just thought I would check with this particular organiser to make sure. Still no answer to my email yesterday so I might give them a ring... Also just rang the ticket place for BSB at Cadwell in May to tell them that I couldnt make it now and wanted a refund on the two tickets I had bought and they told me they wont give me any money back... apparently it says somewhere in the terms and conditions when you buy them that they are non refundable. I dont quite understand how thats legal, but that was a nice waste of £100. And before someone suggests selling them, the reason I wanted to cancel them is because they are being delivered to my ex-girlfriends house and as we are now no longer together I dont think she will give them to me when they arrive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest philgale Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 its not the organiser you need to be asked to be fair, its the track management that tell you if you can or cant.just go and use it, iv used mine at cadwell with no trouble....see"> "> "> "> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Netmeister Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Man that Gixxer howl sounds damn good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris128 Posted January 21, 2010 Author Share Posted January 21, 2010 Nice videos Phil I got a reply to my email but it says although you are allowed them, they have to be securely mounted and apparently that rules out suction mounts. So how else are you supposed to mount the camera to your bike without drilling holes in the fairing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest philgale Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Man that Gixxer howl sounds damn good! cheers mate, sound better in the fleshand secure it with duct tape http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm99/tmbf_photos/Cadwell%2028%2010%2009/JH4Q5105.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris128 Posted January 24, 2010 Author Share Posted January 24, 2010 clubmsv are ok, they have some stupid policy were you cant overtake while insight of a corner or something stupif like that, people call it a procession rather than a track day They said try to save your overtaking for the straights as this is a track day not a race, but I thought that was the same for all track days. They werent real strict about it anyway, plenty of people overtook me going into corners.Overall it was pretty well run and organised, and they sat us all down after the first session and gave us some tips on which lines to take through the corners and answered questions, which I thought was good (I put some of their 'racing line' tips into practice and it certainly helped).Oh yeah and what camera setup did you use to film those videos?CheersChris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Netmeister Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 get booked for cadwell then....need to get a good tmbf turnout for a few days... I agree we do need a TMBF turn out BUT, my bandit is going up for sale the beginning of march so I most probably wont have a bike until I get my next one.

chris128 Posted February 8, 2010 Author Share Posted February 8, 2010 Am I going crazy or are there a load of posts missing from this thread :S I could have sworn I posted a video in here last night and that there were way more posts from me and phil discussing different cameras...

chris128 Posted February 8, 2010 Author Share Posted February 8, 2010 Oh nevermind I found that the thread has been split and the camera related parts moved into the Accessories forum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest philgale Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 yeah sorry mate, split it off yesterday and then was editing the title to suit but computer threw a wobbler so didnt get chance to do it...here it is for anyone else interested Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris128 Posted February 15, 2010 Author Share Posted February 15, 2010 ok so back to what this thread was about before it went onto video cameras - I'm still looking for a track bike, but more seriously now. I'm getting the last of the huge list of problems with my Audi A3 sorted out this week (hopefully) and then I'm pretty sure I'm gonna sell it and buy a cheaper car, then use the spare cash to buy a race bike + trailer.So all being well I should have roughly £2000 to spend on a bike, I've found a couple on ebay but just wondered what other people thought of them and if anyone had spotted any other good track bikes for sale.There's this 04 CBR600 for £2600 http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/HONDA-CBR600RR-CB ... 2c5309c37aAlso another 04 CBR600RR from uktrackbikes at the top of the page here: http://www.uktrackbikes.com/bike_sales.aspand a GSXR600 but this hasnt met its reserve yet so no idea how much that would actually cost: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ...

Guest philgale Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 the one on ebay has been discussed on another forum, i think people know who built it/ownes it now and they say his bikes are spot on.the gixxer is good if you get it below a grand, any more and its too much.keep an eye on motoforum.net loads will be on sale there, i got mien from motoforum.

chris128 Posted February 15, 2010 Author Share Posted February 15, 2010 Yeah I had a quick look on motoforum but most of them are fairly new bikes and way out of my budget. I'll keep looking though, cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris128 Posted February 15, 2010 Author Share Posted February 15, 2010 There's this one which the seller has said he will sell for £1600: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Honda-CBR-600FV-T ... 19b9ed2192What do you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest philgale Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 looks ok, not read it all properly. its the same as what you have now isnt it? i personally would look for the 600rr or gsxr600 etc the F is de tuned so not a quick.dont rush into anything, i got mine for 1400 and my brothers for 1450 mine came with wet on wheels and a few toys. there are good bikes to be had cheap.they will go up tho as the session is starting up again.1600 is too much for that bike IMO.

Guest philgale Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 find out where this is advertised elsewhere and for how much? that looks a tidy looking bike.http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/2004-Kawasaki-ZX- ... 610wt_1156depending how low this guy will go it could be worth a lookhttp://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Suzuki-GSXR600-GS ... 759wt_1156 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest philgale Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 heres another one, http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/2000-YAMAHA-R6-RO ... 500wt_1175 that will go for less that 2k, his reserve is 1300. strip all the road bits and sell them and get a race fairingkeep an eye here as well, looks interesting http://www.123performance.co.uk/index.html very reasonably priced.
