Thread: Motorcycle addicts days at Calabogie 2008

well looks like there's a little interest here. How about we shoot for the 3 days in Sept (19-21) if you guys can get that much time off (its a weekend). Its with Team Pro Motion. and if its possible Pro6Cycle has a day at Shannonville on the 22.

I heard you fire it up taking it off your trailer when you got home.

My neighbors hate me...

I'm all up for that. Shannonville is not worth it after 3 days at Calabogie if you ask me though.....

sounds good to me. I just figured if I take that weekend off I also have the next couple days off anyway.

When did they tighten the restrictions? Are they still using the same lovely sound test routine?

1. Line up in the back of the paddock in the morning
2. A guy stands the set distance back with a meter.
3. You rev your COLD engine to the required rpm


In Aug they had us on the honor system with our revs, and although I was a bit under the rpm requirement, I was under the decibel limit at 96? Again, my D&D was pretty loud to me.

I think they just apply the rules. The same procedure but now they will actually have you rev the thing all the way. People with loud system last year where just revving their bikes to 4000 rpm and got their sticker. I've seen a guy, and I think Northern was with me this time, with a R1 with no muffler what so ever, revved the bike to MAYBE 1500 rpm and got his sticker. It was SO freaking loud once on the track it was not even funny.

If you're going to travel more than 1 hour to come to a track day there and have doubts, come with a back up.
