Our next Knockhill Track Evening is booked for Friday 7th September between 6pm and 8pm. This is the last one of the season and we would love everyone to attend even if they are not going to go on track.
When we come back to Glasgow, we will go along to the pub along the road and have a wee beer to celebrate another successful year of track events.
Those who sign on to the track evening and participate will get a FREE beer courtesy of Ducati Glasgow!
We will possibly have storage available for bikes if folks want to leave them overnight! Call us for more details.
There are now just seven spaces available - please call us to secure your place! 0141 333 4 998

As part of our commitment to our customers we organise trackdays.
We do this so we can offer specialist knowledge about the bikes, pass on our experience with them and try to offer any assistance possible.
On every trackday we have staff members on hand to take you round and show you the lines and braking points. We work with you at your own level and concentrate on parts of your riding that you want to work on.
ALL OF THIS IS INCLUDED IN THE £60 PRICE OF EACH TICKET.
The track is somewhere you can forget about all of the usual concerns about road riding ie:- pot-holes, cars, buses, hedgehogs, brick walls etc,etc,etc. The emphasis is on FUN and SAFETY. (But we can't guarantee that the odd duck or deer might make an appearance!!!)
Just because the speeds are generally higher, doesn't mean the danger is! The best way to approach a trackday is viewing the circuit as a safe stretch of road that you can learn easily.
Every rider on track will be riding their pride and joy so it is a very courteous environment, there is no fairing bashing!
Call us for more details or just to book yourself on. 0141 333 4 998
How a trackday works!
The set-up is simple. All 40 riders on the track together whether novice or fast for a 2 hours "open" session.
For those not familiar with the terminology:- normally trackdays take the form of riders split into groups according to skill level. Each group then gets usually 10 - 15 mins on the track then breaks while the other groups get their turn.
On an open session track evening such as ours, the pit lane is open so riders can come in and out as much as they please. Maximising track time as much as possible.
The secret to these evenings is all about the briefing the riders receive before hitting the tarmac.
The safety briefing from the Knockhill staff is fully comprehensive. Track misbehaviour is simply not tolerated by them or us. The effect is that all skill and speed levels can intermingle on the track easily and without incident. The positive effect being the slower guys learn from the faster guys!
Over-taking is done only in straight lines, either on the brakes or on the straights. We always recommend leaving the corner overtaking manouevres to the racers and the Pro's.
Safety taken care, it's easy to relax and enjoy the pure enjoyment of riding your motorcycle
If you've not tried one, give it a go, you'll be pleasantly surprised at how organised our events are and just how much fun you will have.
