The sessions are open to all Diamonds fans who want to ride motorbikes on the track, regardless of their age, sex or experience. There is group of us who will help you ride and improve your riding. We have 4 125cc's full frame bikes(3 new laydowns), and also 50cc, 70cc, 80cc and 90cc bikes for starters. If you have your own gear fine, but if you haven't we have helmets, goggles, gloves, tops and trousers. All we ask is if you can bring sturdy boots for ankle protection. If you have your own bike, bring it along, but we are limited to 150cc and under by SCB training track regulations.

Tsunami 10,219 Posted April 27, 2012 This is very encouraging. Are you going to enter a team in the NJL, like Northside have done? Yes, when we have 3 new league standard riders, but we won't use riders who have been around for years just to create a team. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tsunami 10,219 Posted August 1, 2012 (edited) Great News. The Training sessions are returning this Sunday 5th August and will be held between 1.00 and 2.30pm. Due to the requirement that the sheets on the dog track now have to be down for our session, can those that can make it arrive between 10 and 10.30am to assist with laying the sheets. The more the merrier and easier the job. Full medical cover is in attendance and riders will be provided with full riding equipment but may prefer to wear their own gear.In any case try to wear stout shoes/boots. The sessions are for male and female, young and older and with mixed riding experience. Tuition will be given by experienced trainers. And it is ALL FREE. Riders with their own bikes can ride but, due to the SCB training regulations, we are only permitted to use bikes upto and including 150cc. Come on you Diamond fans and show us how you can ride a bike. Bikes BTW vary from 50cc upto a 140cc. See you there.

Tsunami 10,219 Posted August 5, 2012 Well, we did manage to get the training session on but unfortunately not for long. After getting the sheets down on the doggy track, the gates and the netting in place, we managed to get about 35 minutes of riding before the heavens opened and it continued all afternoon. The PL meeting was called off and of course all the sheets then had to be taken off again in the poring rain. Finished about 4.00pm a bit clammy. Great response on the resumption of the sessions, with one 'mature' rider and 17 other Diamond fans ages ranging from 7 to about 17 year old. A great responce and very encouraging group of young riders. Despite the washout, I was delighted to see the response and enthusiasm from everyone involved. Don't forget it is on again next week starting at 1.00pm till 2.30pm and through to the end of September. Sheets need to be put down, starting at 10.00am, so if you can give us a hand it would be appreciated. All gear and bikes are provided and BTW it is all FREE. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
