Just a thought at this stage, but would love to go over to Assen for the WSBK. Anyone else fancy this? No idea on date yet but usually early in the season?

End of April I think......

I usually do MCN weekend around then, so it'll prob be a no from me. Might go for the Motogp though!!

Rob, I'll be up for it as long as it doesn't clash with a motorrad course at the 'Ring (I've promised myself one or two courses this year..).

Nice one, maybe Falco would like to come too? Im sure he'd love to show the Dutchy's the wonders of the Falco.

Already off to Germany - The 'ring!/France/Belgium in May so the bike orientated savings will be £0. :(

Let us know when you plan on being at the 'Ring and I may meet up with you there!

+1 - I'm working in Liege, Belgium almost fully time atm and will be for the foreseeable future. Could easily meet you there with enough notice.

I have promised myself the .ORG ring trip this year and at least one other euro trip, so could be interested.

Certainly will do Tim, could probably use a tour guide for round there. :p

We've got the ferry booked for the 14th.
So sometime soon after that, as I imagine thats the first place we'll head for, though I'm having trouble trying to find out whether it will be open to public at the time.

The bunch of nut jobs I normally ride with. Probably at least 6 people I think.
Surprisingly ones my old driving instructor, which is how I know them.

According to my mate who's sort of organising it there's more interested aswell.

No problem with extra people coming, more the merrier hah.
Fancy it like?

I didn't look indepth TBH. I expect a schedule will be posted closer to the end of the year.

Date is up for this now, 26th April.

Given the time of year and the possibility of "weather" I may look at staying in a B&B or cheap hotel in the near by area, rather than camping. What are other people's plans?

I would B&B it, I know someone who goes every year and has a good recommendation. Ill try and get the details from John when I go to work on Monday.
