How about Classic bike trackdays, they've got a weekend at Anglesea on May 30th/31st, they take bikes upto 1995 but do take some later bikes you need to ask. I know the guy who runs the trackdays I can ask him if people are interested, Their trackdays are weekend social events too.

It would be great if we could get the storms into the classic track days, I would be up for that.

Viagra lots of it as without lessons you won't keep up :lol:

Your bike is sorted unless you want more power ?
£1200 should get you a nice set of light weight dymags and it's said that loosing unsprung weight is a massive upgrade to any bikes handling so that's where I'd be looking to spend it to be honest

SLIPPER CLUTCH, a no brainer, and a radial master cylinder to perk up the brakes a little...

I really don't know why loads haven't done this mod, yes the cost about £650 but that's only 2/3rd of an Ohlins shock. could probably get them cheaper as a group buy...
Slipper clutch would be good on road and even better on track.

hec, if they could squeeze a '97 in id make the trip down for that. Im sure there's a few '79's that would still run rings round me.

Just been out to Cartagena with these 2 and can highly recommend
it , 4 days on track 5-6 sessions a day , really great fun .
I doubt I will be doing any UK tracks due to noise limits being so low
some as low as 98db , the highest being 104 or poss 105db unless its
a special event
I went with focused events , they run a tight ship , no messing around
or your off which I prefer .
we had 2 crash and a few in the kitty litter over a 4 day period with just
1 needing a trip to the hospital for a broken collar bone , not bad I think :thumbup:

We have the nod :thumbup:
Firestorms can go on classic bike trackdays.
The bikes must be ROAD bikes with lights etc, no track only bikes, no misbehaving, respect other riders, usual trackday stuff really, but if we want the firestorms to continue being allowed we need give a good impression, we can still go fast though :lol:

no 2015 dates up on the website yet but keep an eye on it.. they ARE doing Anglesey on May 30th/31st it will be popular so first person to see when places are available let everyone else know :wink:
