Looks like I've got that week free so might just have to volunteer to handle the moaners corner.
Do you want me to bring my own torture equipment or will you provide.

Well I wouldn’t call my self a moaner.. not yet anyway but definitely sceptical.

I’ve done a few track days in my time and it’s difficult with a relatively small number of people, how are the events going to cope with that number of bikes say 50% want to go on the enduro track, and 10% turnup at the same time that’s 100 bikesin one go.

I’m interested to see how this is managed and how it’ll work??

The Little London Enduro Track is managed by the Little London staff who regularly run events on the circuit. Their No1 priority will always be safety - as will ours. Our instructions to them are; the ABR event is not an enduro, it is leisure riding only, absolutely no racing or time trials. On that basis if too many turn up at one time then there will be a wait. That's how it will work.

I think you just summed up my scepticism. I picture possible long waits.

Anyway I’m still looking forward to it so don’t class me as a moaner yet! Although it’s in my blood 😂

I picture a fantastic weekend in a stunning venue with the sun shining, good mates for company, lots of bikes to check out, live music, cold beer, good food and...that'll do me. I'm looking forward to meeting you at the Festival :)

We'll still have loads of fun Paul, trusting that the 701's issues are all sorted by then, and that my DRZ stays healthy

New issue every week Dan, this must be the most unreliable bike I’ve ever owned, but boy it’s fun now the clutch is fixed. Win some loose some eh!

Asking..............for a friend :oops:

Your friend will be happy to know there are showers but will have to make other charging arrangements as there are no electric hook up points.
Solar panels & leisure batteries

I have a generator too - are they allowed ?
