[DUCMONROB]

Your not coming Rob? We enjoyed having a drink and a chat with you guys last year ........................by the way hows Mickyb? have you seen him lately?

EGAS

Hello Egas,

No not this year.

I'm off to the states for 5 weeks at the end of the year so there was somthing to sacrifice.

Make sure you have a beer for me when you catch up with the group.


As for MickyB I spoke to him about 2 months ago. He is looking to move over to the UK for work for a couple of years.

And guess what? He rode a motor bike not long before I caught up with him!!!

Tell you what he is some little champion.

See you next year cos I will be there and hopfully I intend to ride down.


Rob

PS. Hows hubby going with the new bike?

Well, I rode down to San Remo (Via Cape Paterson - one of us suggested it in the Melbourne coffee thread) and it was brilliant.

I now understand what the GP is all about.

It isn't watching Stoner et. all race round for 45 minutes; nor is it a chance to drown in beer...

It's a celebration of the entire motorcycling culture and to revel in the joy of 2 wheels.

Whoever is going down tomorrow and over the weekend is going to have a blast.

and yes....the police are already of watch, I nodded at one in San Remo and 3 minutes later he was behind me with the sirens on....turns out he didn't like the 4wd in front of me!

What times the main event? want to go for a quick ride  [moto] and then be back for the race.

[Spider]

get back in time Brimo?

That was a good race - watching positions 2 and 3 and 4 through to 7 was exciting!

and it always good to see 'you-know' win.

[brimo]

Yep got to see the race, and most of the 250s as well, beer in hand, .... such a beautiful circuit, I was there for the first 500 Gp in 1989 (fark doesn't time go fast) now that was a great race too, Gardner, Rainey Sarron, Magee, ahh...the memories..

[dragonworld.]

Turn10 (MG) was carnage corner most of the weekend  . Its absaphukkinlootly amazing how Caseys' Duc just launches out of there!! And even with the so-called "traction control" leaving black lines around 11 and 12 and onto the straight. Bucking and jumping all the while ....................Awesome!! [moto]

How good is P.I.

Drowned Friday night, bad hangover Saturday morning, slow recovery drinks while watching the historic racing and Superbike/sport support races, talking shit to people we never met before, Cowes Saturday night (although the watered down Christian version) Froze in the tent and being woken by a car doing circle work next to me. Sunburnt Sunday, the racing is almost an anti climax to the weekend, then riding home at dusk with a dark visor.

Another typical year

[Jukie]

sounds like a perfect weekend 

[Spider]

nice report Brendan....we going to ride down there on the 15th of December?

I watched the race thinking, ah so this is what I'll do at superbike school!

if you're doing a ride school or track day it's a good idea to trailer the bike.  if possible.  it's a long ride home if you're shagged.

of course, i've never done it.  i don't think i've ever ridden to a track day except for sandown.  maybe it's the ride home that settles it all down.  i always get out of the car sore.  and it's a boring trip at the best of times.
