I see the HD site its listing playdays

Anyone been?
I'm guessing insurance won't cover these (but I could be wrong).

Star insurance is covering these, so others may well be...

Have been to a couple and well run by the Playday organisers.

This is indeed good news. I did about 10 of the HD ridedays - have been missing some track action.

I noticed there is only Medium and Fast groups, kinda precludes newbies which is a pity, I've done about 3 HD ride days and I am perfectly happy in the slow group, harnessing the back markers... Bring back bike only track days, I don't like sharing.....

Swann also cover your bikes at these days, they like you to let them know you are going but it's not compulsory. Long as there's no timing involved then you are fine.
Even the price is pretty good.
Hummm.

There is one that will be taking place on the 17th November which is meant to have a 3rd group which will cater for Slower/New riders according to email I have received about the upcoming track days.

It's only 2 groups now cos the stupid cars take priority. Slow and Medium/Fast. The Fast group (sub 1:15's) should probably stay home

Hi Guys, i have just joined the forum, Cars do not take priority at all. The last promoter of bike days at Hamptons could not make it pay and that was at more money than we charge, then Hamptons had no bike days at all. Playday thought well may be if we add car and bike days together we could make it work. By running both cars and bikes mean we run full days and more of them giving you more choice of days. Sorry but we have been a bit slow on catering for the slow/novice groups but we are working on it and do have 2 days coming up in Feb. We want to help with what we can and I would be pleased to answer any questions at all and would love input from you guys. The days are all about you
