Stars & Stipes Has the Banner Mate

 

Just a heads up really, dont know which guys of u have 2 piece leathers for the msv brands day but I have heard sometimes they get funny about them.cant see the problem as long as they have a full zip, some guys have had to sign a disclaimer, unsure why thought it was all at your own risk anyway.

I will take a spare one piece set of frank thomas all black titainium leathers,new will fit 5' 9",40" chest.touch small for me . £40 to someone

 

if u still got at brands i may be interested if they fit

 

Taken from the MSV website

• All leathers must be either a one piece or two-piece suit with a joining zip all the way around the middle (a minimum of 3/4 of the way around).
• There should be no skin or undergarments visible when your arms are fully raised.
• Textile equipment is not permitted on trackday events.

so shouldn't be any issues.

 

The problem at Brands is the 'minimum 3/4' zip combined with 'no skin or undergarments visible when arms are fully raised'. My RST Razor leathers failed the test a couple of weeks ago, and yes I did have to stand in the control tower with my arms held high

Basically if you have a 3/4 zip then the jacket would have to be three sizes too big not to ride up when you touch the ceiling.

 

Safety pins, big ones!

I might even bring some along, Ogy-dependant I'm planning to show up at least

 

Does anyone know what a fair lap around the GP circuit is? I can do the Indy in 1 minute flat but I don't know if that's any good?

 

Start at 2mins and work down

1:45 is pretty good, once you know where you're going, but at 60 second laps on the indy you might find that a hussle.

Main thing is to spend a session learning the course then spend another one actually learning it Then enjoy it for the rest

 

Cheers gents, hopefully I can get 1:45 lap by the end of the day

 

Think I might of underplayed the 'pretty good' a bit.

 

Must setup my gps lap timer for the circuit!

 

I can only check to lap times when I get home via the go pro footage !

 

Well it's fair to say I am the slowest out there from you lot. So PLEASE consider this when blitzing me . Miky you're 10 seconds a lap quicker than me on the Indy so I am definitely in the correct group, but I know everybody else is a darn sight quicker than me and I am trying trust me.

 

A trackday is all about enjoying yourself, im sure there will be guys slower than you on the day. Just ride within your limits and it will make for a good day

 

I dont care how long I take to get round, providing I do MY best

 

You soft b*stards! Go hard or go home!
