i know you can rent bikes for them? can you use your own?..or would that not be a good idea..
do you have to have a full liscence? (im only 33bhp)

firstly, when are u planning on doing one, if itsnext summer not much point in starting this thread.

if u are gonna do llandow this year (ideal first track) then u wanna send a pm to speedy he can give u all the info u need on ages/licenses etc

u have no insurance while on the track, you break it, u pay for it

Not quite true, you can get seperate track day insurance, but make sure you shop around, I have seen prices ranging from £35 to hundreds of £'s.

Tom throw me your contact number and I'll drop you a line.

You really should come and do Llandow, because as Si said, best one to start off with, as it an easy track and its a very friendly atmosphere and you will know most peeps by then.

ah awsome i dunno when i was thinking of doing it really. just something i wanna do and i realised i dont have the slightest clue on how to approach it! it may not be this year as i havent really ridden any bigger bikes properly yet when is Llandow?

there is a thread, about 8 pages long i think titled

LLANDOW 5TH JUNE 2009 NAMES AND PAYMENTS NOW BEING TAKEN
