Good luck. Not just from the trackday context but overall

I have to confess I've gone for eBay cheapies. As I read it, they just have to be present, there is no particular standard to achieve. They need to be sufficiently strong to withstand unintentional (or even intentional) 'rubbing' by a.n.other track day person. It's not a beauty contest.

But of course that is my opinion only. YMMV.

I'v done the same- £8 ish for a pair I think, and you get a spare right-angled bit, (as they do break ) and an allen key. For some reason I ended up with 2 pairs, so I'll have at least one spare at Pembrey if anyone needs one- they've done alright on my 390 and the 765, and will also go on the new bike I'll be bringing to Pembrey ;)

I have just had the best email of my life. All the work that needed doing on my Triumph is being carried out under warranty. They've also waived the fee for the Street Twin they've leant me for a few days (I love the Street and Speed Twins). Should get my bike back Thursday.

I have leathers, I have a bike, I have a brake lever guard and I have accommodation :banana-dance: :banana-dance: :banana-dance:

Is there a track day somewhere?? :P

Right then, now that's Silverstone out of the way, we're on the countdown to Pembrey (via Silverstone).

So, who's paid ? Who's not ?

Who needs what for the trip ? Everyone ready ?

Fri evening i've booked 2 tables in the Premier Inn restaurant for 7:30pm. So anyone who's in, that's the place to be.
