Trackdays

There is no affiliation between the forum and bmw uk so unfortunately no discounts on bmw trackdays. If anyone knows a TD organiser who wants to do something with us then I am interested.

BMW no longer host their own trackdays but they do offer Track & Training Days through Focused Events starting at ?329. As for trackday discounts I'm currently working on that for next season...

Yes Mac I concur, you could meet us Southerners on the way up around Peterbogger or Horncastle?

I know a few places to stay in North Yorks, all pubs with good beer and reasonable food..

Oh and a day out from Nrth Yorks to Kielder Water / Scottish Border n back would be fun :encouragement:

It always comes down to geography with these meets. I suggested north yorks for last year but got a lot of ‘its too far away’. Id love to have a meet up here, I know all the good roads, the riding and scenery is superb, infact you really need a weekend to make the most of it as there is so much good stuff to ride, I could fill 2 days without much trying. If there was enough interest i could probably arrange some decent accommodation with a group discount for a couple of nights which would make it more sociable....

Excellent... I really hope I can make it .

Which way are you leaning Phil?

 

[alex]

No more defections allowed this year - Mac took the only allowed one. Bananaman and Phil have to stick with Beemers

Possibly KTM 1290 GT, I just need to test ride one. I reckon it should be as quick as the S1000RR on the twisty bits. I will be sad to see it go :sorrow:

Ridden the current SDR, which is pretty similar, good fun, more like riding a crosser than a sports bike round bends, engine has plenty of poke too. No autoblipper on the GT though unless they've changed it for 2018.
