Re: 2015 Trackdays

Ok I'll see what they say. I've got Dunlop Sport Smarts on but don't have a clue what to run on the track.

Think it was you and your brother I met up with at Donnington last year? You were with some lad that had ridden up from Bristol and crashed in the last session after I'd left? :crazy:

Re: Olivers mount, Spring cup.

I'm going with the brother in law. Looking forward to it as it'll be my first visit to the circuit to watch racing.
Went there in Feb and drove a couple of laps in the car and couldn't believe how tight and bumpy the circuit is!!! Madness!! :thumbup:

Re: Nico or Hamilton

Had to be Lewis, he'd won the most races and the idea that he might lose out because of double points being awarded was ridiculous.

Bernie Eccelstone is a complete ...........

Nice to see Britain back at the top in racing, even if it is the four wheeled variety!! :clap:

Re: Heated Clothing. what can the bike cope with?

errrm that's a funny question if its designed for motorbike use and the charging system on your bike is working as it should (battery not always going flat), it should be ok ? watts are the units of power and amps refers to current. Thought it was a fairly straight forward question. 8O I know the d...
