In my defence I was only going out there for a wobble round and wave. They were race scooters and had a habit of swarming so I just let them go then got behind this guy and didn't have the heart to go by him (honest)

I didn't want to name names....but that all red Sb6 was quite distinctive as being a certain persons bike.....I had a twist and go 125 revving up against me once at the traffic lights....it was absolutely bucketing it down with rain....Friday Pm rush hr traffic....it was dark....and I had only just set off from home on cold tyres to take my Vdue to the MCr show...and Vdues are a pig to get off the line...and I had a head cold...and I was tired...and sleepy...and and...I let him have me...……...twice...…..Thankfully he probably had no idea whatsoever what I was on....

We're all in the same boat.....and emails sent out seem to make it clearer where we enter....drop bikes and then park up....as below

Please remember that you must print out your ticket and display it clearly in your windscreen when you arrive.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Gates open for display vehicles:
Sunday 19th August 2018: 07:00 – 08:30

Entrance gates:
All vehicles will enter through the main Brands Hatch entrance, if you have a P1 – P5 code on your vehicle pass you are welcome to enter through Paddock gate on Scratchers Lane so you are closer to your area on arrival.

Tickets:
The e-ticket linked to this email is your vehicle and driver entry pass. Your tickets are vehicle specific – please do not arrive in a different vehicle. The ticket is only valid if you arrive in the vehicle you booked. Any additional passengers will also require a ticket which can be purchased in advance up until midday Thursday 16th August or on the day. Children under 13 are free.

To access your e-ticket the system may ask you to enter your post code, the post code to which your ticket was registered will display on your original order confirmation.

Vehicle Pass:
Please print your vehicle pass and have this with you when you arrive at the venue. The letter/ number on the vehicle pass corresponds to your parking location so please display this clearly for the parking marshals once through the main gate. Once in place please do not move your vehicle. If you do need to move, for example due to an emergency, you must request assistance from a Brands Hatch marshal before moving your vehicle.

Please follow this link to view a site map with the parking code locations:

Vehicle Parade Laps:
The Bike Parade will take place at: 17:05
The Car Parade will take place at: 18:10

The rooms that are booked for Saturday night are just alongside the main entrance. The Bimota pitch is right in the middle of the displays so handy for everything. Ducati and MV clubs are at opposite ends of the display, do MSV expect some sort of trouble? Laughing

For those coming from Oop North, don't forget about the Dartford Crossing Toll which is no longer paid at a toll booth.
See https://www.gov.uk/pay-dartford-crossing-charge

Also hope this doesn't upset our journey Shocked It is scheduled for Friday night so we should be OK
