The owners of the Isle of Wight have opened across the road at The Continental Hotel.  They conviently bought it in preparation for the proposed redevelopment. |

It only rained a little this morning and I only have 2 doonas on the bed now.  You can always depend on PI weather being Antarctic for at least one of the days of GP and scorching the next. |

yeah remember one year it poured in the morning of the race, then was beautiful sunshine that afternoon! I normally sit down at Siberia and the wind definitely comes up off the Antarctic! |

I'm fighting to get fit enough for the trip this year.
I did something (strain I think) to my lower back on Monday.
Have had a session on Bowen Therapy and some acupuncture to help with recovery.
Either way I'm still riding.
Nothing is going to stop me riding over (as I touch wood)
look forward to meeting fellow OZMo's who make it over.
as for the PI weather, well you just have to put up with it and just enjoy the MotoGP experience.

so I should be on the lookout for a Monster heading over with the rider taped to a broom handle?? yeah dont worry mate I am not putting on the blouse - have been changing clutch plates, thrust bearings, bleeding things all in preparation - next Wednesday cant come quick enough!  and as for PI weather - well that is all part of the character of the place? Still reckon Siberia is the best corner, then turns 11 and 12 after that! [moto] |

Ouch. If Bowen doesn't fix it nothing will. And do some (gentle) yoga stretches (not twists) every morning. If all else fails just drink away the pain.  |

Yeah, have been doing the "corpse pose" and a bit of "down dog" or is that doggie style - nah can't remember what it's called. That's why you have a bad back in the first place. |

last year I averaged 190 to 200kms with luggage when the light came on. (sticking to the speed limit)
But we usually only do anywhere from 160/170kms to 190kms before we fuel up. (have a thirsty S4R traveling with us)

yeah cool sounds about what I am expecting from my bike - I am travelling with a ST2, a BMW GS1000, and a super tanker (Triumph Sprint with a 22 litre tank I think!) So I am banking on about 5 stops! |
