Re: Silverstone Track Day
You have a strange choice of track music.
Did you have a word with the rider afterwards?

Re: Silverstone Track Day
Ha ha the music was provided by you tube I forgot to add my own, so I used something about the same length as the film, running out of patience with my compooter.... thing is gas powered and hates things like film editing!!!!
As for the other rider, no I did not, however on the second session out he was behind me and when I looked around to gesture to Mick I saw him, he apologised. That said I stayed on, so not much I can do or say really.
Mick did say he thought he saw his mate after the incident, tell him to calm it down.... Anyway I blew past them not long after, I had the red mist well and truly pumping ha ha

Re: Silverstone Track Day
I didn't realise he got so close Frankie, I was busy trying to get my apex right, I did see it sort of but didn't realise it was you at the time. His mate was telling him off at the bottom of wellington straight, he was gesturing to him to calm it down. Quite slippy in that first session, I must have been concentrating hard I didn't even realise you came past me. Luckily it was dry for almost the rest of the day.

Re: Silverstone Track Day
Yes he was a touch close.... rather than putting me off for the rest of the session it made me quicker (makes a change - I normally loose concentration) This time I did not

Re: Silverstone Track Day
That's a good looking track bike, don't let me near it!

Re: Silverstone Track Day
He took it to be tested as he didn't want to get black flagged and lose the day. He was 105.2 at 5500 revs, I think Silverstone is a bit more leanient on db levels than others.
There was a guy on a old norton, some kind of special bike it was there was some guys there taking professional photos of it, it was LOUD !!
It's 102 db's on flyby

Re: Silverstone Track Day
102 db flyby is a lot better than 102 db static.
They do seem to have a more sensible approach at Silverstone thankfully.

Re: Silverstone Track Day
There's not much residential stuff near Silverstone, is there?
TBH I think it's people that buy a house near a race track and then Moran about the noise that causes all the stupid noise limits.

Re: Silverstone Track Day
It's is Nutz and it shouldn't be allowed imo. If you buy a house next to a race circuit and then claim the noise is excessive you obviously didn't really look into what you were buying and neither did your solicitor.
