WHOA!!!! what's with the 'lowly tech IOSH?????' You must be joking, and as you say, we all be the same on two wheels, just as we are on two legs, it's what we do that is different not what we are.
Bring it on, can't wait.

Well if its a track day I hope nobody laughs at me when I stick my foot out to go round corners. I suppose I could just play in the sand traps.

How about bonkers bikers to start the ball rolling?
I have to declare an interest....in watching you guys and gals!
Given the recent article on corporate manslaughter and outdoor activities, I'm aware of a site in the Midlands that does off-road driving, quads, buggies, clay pigeon shooting etc etc. Convenient for many of you?
Got to have a place in 'elf and safety rather than starchy conferences and Branch meetings (praps I should say as well as!)

Hi Margia,
You're sure the Beeb will travel?
Do you have contacts ?
A feature on Top Gear would be a perfect end to this event................
And the biker chick thing.
Which area are you in?
I'm sure One of us could arrange a pillion service to & from the venue.

Hi John,
Bring it on & keep er lit!
I'm a CMIOSH consultant and I upgraded to a BMW F800S last Oct - between commuting to clients and weekend driving I did 15,000km in 12 months. 3,500km were done accross the North of Europe this Sept.
I'm based in Ireland - but count me in!
Con..
P.S. - Hopefully - I'll have either my FJR 1300 or my GTR 1400 by then - any comments on these two bike from other members!

All,
I'll post again soon with some ideas...
Con,
FJR1300 or GTR1400? BIKE magazine this/last month had a big tourer test through europe which trialed these alongside the BMW K1200, RT1200 and Pan.
If you can't get a copy, drop me an email and I'll forward it on.
Incidentally, what bit of Ireland are you based?

Are there actually any plans in the pipeline to have a trackday.There seems to be people from a wide area who have responded so getting a track convenient for eveyone will be difficult but it would be a pity to see such interest just fade away.

Here here...
I'm picking my new bike up on saturday so I'm ready to roll!!
say Mack, why not just put up a couple of dates and we can have a vote. I'm sure if there are some that can't make this one there'll more opportunitues, we have the whole of summer '08 ahead of us (if you actually believe we get summers in this country anymore)
Setting a date is the easy part, praying for good weather is the bit that can make or brake us

Just to put a slightly different slant on it. I would love to attend a track/training day as I have been mad about bikes since I were a boy.
In the last 4 years I have spent £1000's attending as many rounds of the British Superbike as I could.
However most circuit racing is under threat of closure due to a lack of safety marshalls.
It is a volunteer position which I have just been accepted into, I have my first training day in January prior to marshalling (under competent supervision) in the new season.
Oh by the way, I ride an old CBR600.

Hi Mack,
What's the score with the track day? We still up for it? Surely all those Christmas/New Year hangovers have cleared away now???

I sold my scooter when my fish tail parka finally fell to bits, but if you need marshals or I can help in any other way keep me in mind.

Hi refer to comments on (off-road biking), i am a OHS consultant based in Scotland and main hobbie is racing off road bikes, i compete in the Scottish enduro championship and race clubman level ( risk junky or what!) never had a serious off in all my days competing, must say though when working with clients or carrying out training once i mention my hobbie head's turn, but this type of exposure helps me greatly when explaining or making people appreciate risk perception involved in their daily job's.
Saying that why dont we enter an enduro team into a british championship round.
My bike KTM 530 EXCR

In response to last posting, I too use the fact that I ride a bike to illustrate the appreciation of risk.

Ladies & Gents.
We originally let this thread continue in a spirit of fesitve indulgence.
However, the Christmas decorations are down, the New Year has now started and we are now going to invoke AUG 1 and lock the thread.
If you have any queries or wish to continue with arrangements, then please contact the thread starter direct.
Hope this event goes well.
