    Cadwell 2018 16/17 June trackday party?

    well that was a great weekend, 

    started off with me getting down to Cadwell mid afternoon, met up with YJ and rene and sorted a place to pitch my tent and park the car when Avril got there

    with all the essentials and tools.

    first item on the agenda was getting my rear wheel down to the tyre guy to get my new rear boot fitted, but first had to beg for tools from YJ so i could get the wheel off!!!

    with new rubber fitted and tent up it was just a case of waiting for Avril to arrive and start of noise testing!  I had a feeling that if anything was going to stop me getting on track Saturday it was going to be getting the Racefit through noise testing, well i was proved correct, finished the first attempt with a reading of 111Db (with Noise reduction insert fitted FFS)  after borrowing a hammer from YJ I set to work on re shaping the NRI.

    second attempt was met with a 107Db result, and much head shaking from the lead tester.

    well it was then time to get serious as time was running out and noise testing was going to end for the night in 15 mins.

    went back to YJ for much needed help (and tools :) ) sorted out getting an energy drink can cut to size, held to the NRI with a jubilee clip and some screwdriver holes punched in the end.

    back down to the still smiling testers for a third shot at passing, with a little bit of help from the testers ( slightly less revs than were actually stated) bike got through with a 105Db reading  :banana:

    Sat morning started off with me on track with the GS for the very first time, also my first time on track for nearly 3 years, so knew i was going to need a few sessions (at very least) to get the feel of the bike and get my head back up to track speed. I had wanted to start from the rear of the group, but somehow managed to get down to assembly area when it was almost empty O.o so i was going to be out at the front!

    to say i was slow was an under statement, got passed by what seemed like every one else on track, tyres at the end of the session looked like new, dont think they even got up to temp.

    second session went much better, tyres started to show some wear, so they were at least getting some temp into the compound.

    third session after lunch and things were settling down nicely, had some confidence back, happy to start pushing things, was only getting passed now and again.

    at the end of the day i was actually overtaking other riders and having a blast.

    bike was running  perfectly, pulling like a train and handling great.

    sorry i missed meeting some of the visitors, but i would like to say big thanks to YJ and Rene for help and support over the weekend.

    i am completely worn out and sore (getting too old for this shite!!) but still buzzing :)

    so if I have to get a Q, or some other new number, would that leave my original number tied to the old frame? which then becomes worth money 

    yes mate, old reg stays with old frame.

    • the original unmodified chassis or bodyshell (car or light van)
    • a new chassis or monocoque bodyshell of the same specification as the original (car or light van)
    • the original unmodified frame (motorbike)

    • the original unmodified frame (motorbike)
    • a new frame of the same specification as the original (motorbike)

    You must also have 2 other major components from the original vehicle from the following lists.

    For cars or light vans:

    • suspension (front and back)
    • steering assembly
    • axles (both)
    • transmission
    • engine

    For motorbikes:

    • forks
    • wheels
    • engine
    • gear box

    Get a Q registration number

    DVLA will give your vehicle a ‘Q’ prefix registration number if you don’t meet the conditions for keeping the original registration number.

    Your vehicle must pass the relevant type approval test to get a Q registration number.
