Assen WSBK

[Tim in Belgium]

Thanks to a member of the Northloop forum I was the lucky recipient of a paddock pass and Yamaha hospitality this weekend up at Assen. I took along my camera and got a few snaps, these don't do justice to a top weekend, great weather, bikes and racing.

A few highlights:

This is how to keep the belts on a Ducati from causing you issues:
