You'll only regret it if you dont... :smt002

And besides, theyre a lot cheaper than those Bayerische Mega Wanks.

I found it on here: http://www.trackdays.co.uk/tracks/brands-hatch.htm

As to your wife, is "you not at home for a whole day" present not good enough for her? :smt002

Gio, will you take your silver beauty on this track?
I want to see her in flesh! :smt007

This would guarantee that you'd be slow enough for me - scared not to crash :smt003

Mmm evening thats 3 sessions then and aren't they just 2 groups (inters and fast). I don't mind at all having done an evening there before. Inters can be a bit of fun and you generally get a better class of rider ie more focussed.

Have you booked?

Gio, If you do go pleeeeeeeeeeeeeease remember to remove the bellypan first or you'll ground it out all over the place (yes even with the extra ride height). It's only a 2 minute job thank goodness.

Bear in mind this Falco doesn't do novice groups, within a few laps you'll be up with the fast group. It is Silver remember! :smt023

I would anyway, I can remember Witty grounding out a Mille's bellypan when he was racing.

:smt005

How much extra ride height is there?
