I'll be there on Monday. I'm racing there over the weekend, so a mate booked the day for me to drag him around for a few sessions. Forecast looks good, and Colin from 100% suspension is there, and I could do with some of his black magic on my bike
Although I'm not 100% convinced by R1 won't ping the sound meter, so I'll be rolling off and short shifting past the sound meter
I'll see if I can tag on behind too! Also need to see Colin after fitting a new shock and doing a few other track mods to my bike... I'll look out for you, is your bike black and red? I think I saw some pics in "trackday pics"... This is what I'll be on
I couldn't get out of bed this morning, so have a good day Looks like you've got some mint weather for it
Thanks George. The weekend's battered me a bit and I just couldn't get myself out of bed at 4;30 this morning when the alarm went off
Highlight of the day so far...overtaking a V4S coming into McLeans. After a steady start I've got my eye in and loving it!
Richard R, I am assuming it was a 98db day, as it is a Monday, if so how did you get of for noise with the full system you have on your bike. I only ask as I have a 1098S with the same system but have always shied away from 98db days at Donington, and it's a long way for me to travel to get turned around for noise.
Fine, but I had baffles in.... I arrived with no baffles fitted and was going to see how it went.... But chickened out and fitted them. There were some loud bikes screaming past and Ivm sure a 1098 with 70mm would be OK with.no baffles. They may sound really loud on tick over, but quieter than IL4s down the straight. Ivm going againnext week and will have a bash with no baffles and report back... They are the sort of bike that are much more fun when you can hear them properly!
Andy, I suspect yours was a static test at Silverstone, where as it's a flyby test at Donington. Richard R, I would still be interested to hear how you get on next week if you go back to Donington, as I don't have any baffles for my 70mm system.
I did the whole day on my 1198 with 70mm system and No baffles. I did back off a bit under the bridge on the straight in the first few sessions, but gave it the full beans most of the day!
