    After my Donny trip got cancelled I'm seriously thinking about this, there are still novice spots available.

    Enjoy. I've got Cadwell on Wednesday but it might rain.
    MSV have some OPL's in November which might be worth check the weather for last minute as they are cheap as chips.

    Haha you got India. I think the forum software looks up where your internet provider is located (where the head office is registered) and equates that to 'you live in that country' Which is daft. When using my VPN and setting Manchester as my connection point, it thinks I am in Romania simply because they own the VPN company.

    I'm still hovering over the 'add to basket' on the MSV site. I'll wait till lunchtime then check the weather for Bedford. If it rains it will probably be later in the afternoon.

    There are geo-location databases/services that try and maintain of list where IP addresses are registered to. Other companies/software can then query them to figure out where you are.

    Problem is that IP addresses can move between ISPs etc and so the info can be out of date.

    Cool. I’ll be in the car park with the van rather than the garage.

    I’ll be on a green 636 in novices this time, not the Honda.

    Unfortunately it’s unlikely I’ll make it. I broke down just outside chipping Norton and currently awaiting RAC. They tell me 4.5 hours :eek::(

    Thanks.
    7 hours later I’m still stranded and they tell me they can’t find anyone to rescue me yet.
    I may have to take the bike off the trailer and ride it home (with no mirrors or front indicators) and leave my vehicle and trailer for the thieves.
    I’m due in hospital tomorrow for an op I’ve been waiting 3 years for so I can’t miss that.

    Oh crap. Good luck.

    My bike broke down after two sessions, must be something in the air.

    I got home just after 11am. Only 12 hours after breaking down.
    Bloody hell. You haven't had it long either. What happened?

    Misfire. Will try plugs first, then coils.
