Sorry Stew thought I would re post here:

Original link: http://www.superduke.net/forum/viewtopi ... ht=cadwell

As far as I know there is no official KTM day, so anyone going to get the ball rolling for this? oh ok I will Focused Events are doing the following:

http://www.focusedevents.com/events.asp?event_type=UK

Date for trackday:
Wednesday 26th August


£89 for either of the two dates and lots of places currently.

I will gladly go with consensus of opinion and just get the day off (if I dont have it off), if im working there is plenty of time to organise it as I hope you guys could too.

I have made the presumption it's Cadwell but if anyone else wants to do any other let me know. Will gladly cross post this in KTM forum if we get a date and turn the track orange. (after we have booked of course )

Put your name down and will add it on the list, once we have date planned will update thread and we can all pay once date decided.


If enough interest is generated quickly will see if Focused will make it a KTM one like last year.

i am up for cadwell or donnington
I'm up for whatever as long as I can share a ride there from the South/London area.
It looks as though I'll be relocating to Dubai for 3 to 6 months, maybe from the start of July - so sadly there'll be no track time for me for a while.

Worrying news about Ducati Pete.

I know Dubai is the most westernised gulf state but I doubt it is ready for DP and his proclivities.

After all, a burkha is just another gimp mask to him.

He could singlehandedly set them back to sharia law. You know, tell a lie lose your tongue, steal lose your hand...............................

Dont go Pete!

However good the money is it is not worth coming back as a eunuch.

I have booked me and a mate in inter's ( or I will do when they send me a bloody password reminder! )

For those who have shown an interest put your money where your mouth is and lets get this rolling

Update the thread to say your booked in and which group novice/inter/experts and will update the thread.

I think once a few people get this rolling then more will follow.

I know Sabre is offline at the mo as I text him but I think he will be interested in this too.

Lets make this happen!!!!

Cheers

Dan

Do you guys all use tyre warmers for track days? Would heat cycles have a big effect on 2CTs? There are some cheap-ish deals on fleabay and i'd consider a purchase if its a big save for tyre life
http://shop.ebay.co.uk/?_from=R40&_trks ... Categories

Any recomedations on tyre warmers if you think they are a must?

I'm going to take a van & will have room for 1 other bike (Colonel, have you booked yet? as you live round the corner to me it might make sense to share the van).

Luke said something about getting a getting a large van or truck.

Nice one Klinck, it's shaping up to be quite a Superduke takeover, should be a blast
For those who asked about electricity.

From my TD the other day there were people who had hooked up to the mains power supply in the scruteneering bay (stewards etc did not mind), there was standard electric box on the wall, you would need a fair length of cable and a multi adapter as it seems a popular point to hook up.

I can get 2 to 3 bikes in my van but would be a squeeze. I also have a towbar and can borrow a trailer but single bike only. So I can take 2 riders and 3- 4 bikes. I havent pulled a trailer with it before so I had better get the electrics checked before the day.

My van is not quick though about 60mph max, probably slower with more than 2 bikes and me aboard. So I will plan to head up on Tues pm. I havent booked accom yet either so i had better get on to that.

Feck arse events, cos they shaft you
MSV also ask for an indemnity form to be completed if they see your camera.

That's why I hide mine under the headlight cowl.

Basically they want a slice of the action if you catch anything interesting.

Do you have a copy of the form?
I have a gazebo. I did have a genny til some of the pillocks I employ got it nicked Never mind I have a mate who runs a hire shop so he will most likely loan me one.

If you hire / buy a generator make sure it puts out at least 1kw if you want to run tyre warmers off it. Hire ones should be well over this (and Honda engined) It is only if you are tempted by a cheap chinese one from e bay, Lidl etc. 2kw plus is better and dont forget the kettle.

If you are buying get a petrol one you will aready have that for the bike.
If you are hiring it will most likely run on diesel - remember to bring some unless you fancy trying to syphon some from your hire van.
I had to sign a disclaimer when I used my gopro camera with FE, they said there is no problems with YOUTUBE but you just cant make any money off it, not that anyone would pay to watch my TD footage.

They also said that if anyone hurts themselves or I damage anything by means of the device falling off etc I am liable. He said that Palmer bloke who owns all the tracks would have my pants down if I did.

So I was wondering, only done a full day event once before and that was on my gsxr which I just filled up with Petrol at lunchtime but how many times do you reckon I'm gonna need to fill up with petrol on my 05, every 3 sessions, lunch time?

I know I made the 3 sessions at Brands ok and had to fill up after but can't remember if we got full sessions or not.

I'm thinking perhaps a std plastic jerry can would do to just top up for the 4th session assuming it's 3 one side of lunch and 4 the other so then I'd only have to go out to the station at lunchtime.

I'm doing some installs over the next couple of days so won't have access to email/internet until the evenings but if you have a design sorted Shade if you send it to my personal email I can pick it up and send it in to the printers in the evening and then follow up with a call and see if they can get them done in time.
8 Days to go

Anybody need a place at Kedddington b&b let me no as you can have mine - due to personal circumstance i will be travelling up to Cadwell (hopefully) on the wednesday morning! (oh joy, another 4.30 start!)

I have paid the deposit so the room will only cost you £20 (im gonna lose the deposit anyway so someone can benefit from it!)

PM me and i will ring the details through to Keddington!

Cheers

Stew
So are all you guys from down south travelling in convoy or arriving at different times?

We up for meeting at the Pub, My Fathers Moustache? If so what time? as it's the nearest pub to Keddington House?
Yes you should all meet in the pub and celibrate TJ`s birthday, that way your hangovers will compensate for the fact ill be getting out of bed at 4.30am to travel up to Cadders!!! lol

On another note for anybody that isnt familier with Focused Events trackdays - they will ask for BOTH parts of your driving licence, ie. Plastic card and paper part!!!

She's working on it now (I think).

Orange T-shirt with black text/logos on it:

SuperDuke logo as per side panels across chest at similar angle to the panels

KTM logo on left sleeve

990 on right sleeve

'Real men ride naked twins' on the back.

How does that sound?

To be frank, we'll do the logos but it's up to the T shirt guy where he prints them on the shirt, we'll just supply the logos in EPS files at an appropriate size for him to use directly on the shirts.

Let's do a weather swap!

Send me your rain - I won't see my bike 'till October, much less ride it - I'll mail you some 40 degree +.


(Hope it's dry for you, Cadwell has it's own weather - sometimes that's a plus.)

Just saw the weather on news at 10 and a fooking great cloud is half way across the Atlantic heading our way. I'm praying it heads somewhere else. Booooo WTF this is supposed to be summer
Well my mate still hasn't turned up with the ramp and tie downs I need for tomorrow.

According to his Mrs he went out to get it on the way round to see his brother and then he was coming here but haven't seen him yet, hope he turns up otherwise I'm gonna have to hope my local machine mart has one in stock or drive over to surrey to pick one up from The Ramp People over there.

10 things I learned from the trackday and assosiated festivities.

1.) Superduke owners are truly a top bunch of lads
2.) SD's crash well
3.) I need some wet weather tyres
4.) The curry tasted worse on the way out
5.) Superduke Anglesey 2010 is on
6.) Remember to press record on the PVR on the only full dry session
7.) People always look different to what you expect
8.) When the chips were down heads were still held high, respect.
9.) Good to know my money I always put into local air ambulance gives a good taxi ride.
10.) Saved my first SD "moment" and dont fancy another too soon.
1. top day, marred by a couple of incidents , but Dan is right..they do crash well!!!
2. wasnt too impressed with the intermeadiate groups track manners..i do generally think, northerners are more aggressive than southerners on overtakes..
3.I had forgotten how technical the circuit is and took me most of the day to relearn it after an 8 year absence
4. northern curry houses are better than southern ones
5. Ash is built like a brick shithouse top bloke!
6. every last one of the guys from this forum and guests were fantastic and i would be proud to call em true friends
7. didnt have my cheque book to by an old zxr750 for a track hack that was for sale (£395)
8. Dont forget your keys going to a trackday..my mate paul had to go back to london to get his, and then only did 4 laps the whole day as all he had was slicks!!
9. Petrol Generators should be noise tested too!!! i have ringing in my ears
10. Dont try and overtake in Hall bends on the inside in the wet...doh

left to right:

Paul. (R1), Schnauzer , Colonel Klinck , Pig Benis (Danno)
Motoronin Superdan , Shadethechangingman , twisted jester and gone to the loo was Luke.

Image

SAY NO MORE!
I dont photo well looks like I was there in spirit rather than in person.....
A quick photo tour of the day from group two:
bloody wet but fun
Image

Image

Trying to keep big ash at bay
Image

but he got past
Image

Image

Black flag/telling off stunts
Image

More naughtie's
Image

Still dicing with Big Ash
Image

Had a fantastic day despite the weather. All SD riders are top/nice bloke's,unfortunately two came off and i wish you both a speedy recovery.

Got some good video footage 1x wet and 2x dry session's just need to sort them out without an christmas tree at the beggining

Especially enjoyed dicing with Bigash,even though he got past me ( lucky move mate ) i am guilty of being to polite in my overtake's and left the door open and got and spanking for it Fair do's though a pass is a pass mental note to self be alot more aggresive on the IL4's during overtake's

Let's get Anglesey sorted for next year

Hope you all made it back down south safely.

A very nice day indeed.
Just back myself. Picked up Dan aka Motoronin for hospital and he was given all clear which is good news

Fantastic to meet more of the boys from here. Everyone of them being a top bloke. Really must do this again soon, next time maybe get pissed the night after the track day and not the night before. Man i felt like poo this morning

First track day for me and man am i hooked Cadwell is fantastic and once the track dried it is SD heaven Didn't manage a Sabre style wheelie over the mountain (i wish i had the skill and balls) but did get it a few inches up a few times.

Here is a quick pic of me. Didn't get my knee down Next time it's going to happen! Will post up some others of peeps tomorrow. Also got video footage of 3 sessions.

Just whipped the bandage off. Friction burns, swelling and the bruising is coming out nicely, give it a few days and that arm will be purple

The tricep is mush, I can barely use the arm.....and I STILL had fun, go figure huh!!

Count me in then!

Hey nice 1 Sabre, i found this 1 of me when out of wets

Image

Being closly chased by you! lol

Any idea which session this was mate?

Stew
ace video..worth the download wait!!!! thanks mate..
gonna have to get one of them little cameras..i have a bullet cam but its got about a mile of cable with it and needs 8 x AA batteries..and then you need somewhere to stow the pvr box to record it on...it was ok on my Beemer as i had a garage under the seat..not so on the sdr once the alarm is fixed...
My new gear lever arrived first thing today....all i need now is a working right arm and I'm back !!!!

Watching the BSB on monday is really gonna make me wanna get back there! I still have SUCH an itch to scratch at Cadwell, desperately want some dry laps there now to get into those wicked curves

If you guys are gonna book then I'm very tempted. No beers or curry this time though.
Here's a small vid of a wet session,which aint that clear for obvious reasons. I'll point out now that i and a few other's had wets fitted so to all those who ventured out on standard tyre's i take my hat off to ya it must have taken real balls to ride out in those slippy wet conditions on your pride and joy's.

Here's a still of what the conditions were like,i had my KTM wet suit with MC Hammer style baggie trouser's on (i want be wearing them again,not on track anyway )

Image

Nice videos fellas.

So for the benifit of those who couldn't make it:

Did you all ride in inters?
How much of the day was wet?

How did Stupid Luke get on?

Shade, get well soon, that looks sore. What and where happened?

Another short vid, of Bigash catching me napping behined a couple of slower rider's, he took all three of us round the outside it gave me a wake up call but was unable to get him back got to get them northern overtake's in early
I'm running 16/38 gearing and he's 16/40 both on wet's looking for the wetter parts as the track was dry in place's.

OK i booked!

Spur of the moment ive gone for fast group as i wanted to be back in the fast group by the end of the year and i feel comfertable at Cadwell!!! Hey, it may even make me faster chasing some faster guys round!!!

Only 1 place left if any1s interested!?!?!

Stew
Nice Vids Sabre.

Wish I could join you all on the 24th but can't commit the cash at the moment.

Liking the title for the sequel and glad to see Moto jumping straight back in, just remember to take those mirrors of yours off this time and I'm sure you've probably already got some zippage lined up for those leathers, or something new and blingtastic perhaps, with built in leds or something

Shade, I think you should reconsider Pete's offer, remember, this is pete and he's offering you a female leather repair service, she may even show you some samples of her work, do the math

Pete, as far as I know Luke was doing alright on the track but I can say without a doubt he was brilliant at sorting the teas.

Another good vid, nice one Schnauzer

Must see if I can watch a rerun of the BSB as well.
If we were as fast as those guys the we would be out there racing, simple as!!!

Im not the slowest rider out there but i bet if you stuck me on Dave Woods bike with sponsers cash and said go out, do your fastest and it doesnt matter if you crash, i bet i still couldnt get within 10-15 seconds of his lap times!!!

Racers are different breeds, they see things differently to us , they have better feel than us, they have quicker reactions than usand il bet they have less fear than us. These things are genetic and i dont beleive you can learn these things from either a school or from years of riding!!! (thats not to say you cant improve and get quicker, i just dont think you ever get to a racers standards!!!)

Stew
Bit of the old question nature of nurture Stew....

I think a lot of racer/riders have started from an early age when your young your obviously take a lot more in, crashing just means a few weeks of school if your break something, ive wathed some kids motocrossing they just have no fear, transfer that to the track hey presto.

It takes someone special to be really fast.

Personally I blame my dad not buying me a motocross bike when I was 4, that why im not the next Rossi

Agree experience and practice can make you quicker doubt now I could ever be as fast as the racers but would still be interested to see how fast I could go.

Always makes me laugh when I hear racres talk about slight adjustments to suspesion or how they can feel the difference in a different swingarm etc, I can tell the difference between the sport settings and road ones on the duke but could not say, "hmmm think I need some more rebound on the rear".

I think the main things to being super fast racer is being started young, having the support of racing young and back up from your dad with thier knowledge, and no fear.

Have seen a lot of over competative Dads at race meets for mx, was watching some 5 y/o going round with a gi huge helmet, clearly pottering around, Dad was watching him shaking his fist as the other kids were overtaking him, then Dad was walking the bike back to the pits with son beside him saying "your either on the throttle or on the brakes, you dont coast around!" was right having a go at him, I was thinking to myself he is only 5 just let him have some fun...

Good call Shade, I assumed they would organise these things out of rain season at least

You could be right on the price there Klinck, it's cheap cause you need a snorkel kit
everybody has to make a buck even if it means a wet trackday for punters.....at lesat if it rains they organisers can claim it was beyond their control depsite knowingly booking it in raining season!
Update on the Black T-Shirts

I should be picking up the black T-Shirts on Tuesday, they've been on back order with the t-shirt supplier but should be arriving Monday so they'll get em printed for tuesday and I'll get em sent out to you as soon as I can after that.
