clutchplate Posted October 5, 2006 Report Share Posted October 5, 2006 do you know how to anywhere near essex prefferably <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Nearest is Sittingbourne - junction 5 off M2 - about 20 minutes from Dartford crossing. They do track days with bikes and kit supplied for complete beginners / improvers etc. see website for phone number / e mail on www.sittingbournespeedway.co.uk Alternatively if you have kit I can hire you out a 90, 185, 350 or a 500 laydown depending on your experience plus mechanic / provide guidance on a 121 basis for you etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
