Hey just a thought for those that use Hampton....

Did an afternoon track day on my new 3 week old Honda with only 1600kms on the clock.. and got a puncture in the rear from the metal in the area they call the pitts.
Noticed the tire was flat the next morning with a sharp stone stuck right through the tread.
I trucked the bike to and from the track so it happened there all right.

The track is superb, but the pitt area is a fukin joke....

Anyway, I suggest you kick you tires before every session the track...

And I'm going to sue Hampton for a new rear tire... How do you think I'll get on there...:yes:

you must have some pretty shit tyres to get a puncture from a stone?

It's just bad luck mate, hundreds of people have ridden over the gravel there hundreds or thousands of times and I've not heard of anyone else having any trouble.

Not so, a couple of guys had punctures at the AMCC meeting a week back.

It's a construction site, what are you expecting?

It's looking a bit better now but now they are building the garages. Will be construction around for a while. I work on registration at the HD ride days, it's cool to see the progress each time. :yes:
