[Rog]

[wheelnut]

Im going to do the royal wave out of the Mobil box overlooking Redgate Lodge. If I get bored I might come out and mix with the riff raff :D

[stumpy]

Hehe i'll be in number 38 which is on redgate corner.see ya there!!! :D

[minifun]

[wheelnut]

The weather forecast looks amazing. 35 - 38 degrees.

So bring an umbrella :D

[Saint Matt]

I'm going, camping from tonight - sunday with a bunch of mates. Should be oreet. If anyone wants to meet up pm for mobile number :)

[Peter Henry]

Hmmm....Live Moto GP experience...you can't whack it. Enjoy yerselves folks. :wink:

[GC-SV]

I'll be there with my brother.

Flying out on Friday morning and returning home on Monday.
After last year I just hope the weather is good, although I may just pack my 1 piece wet suit just in case.

Camping on Friday and Saturday and then going to live it up on Sunday night in the Hilton.

Will watch practice and qualifying from different spots around the circuit.
Not sure where I'll watch the actual race from.

[tricky]

Probably be lurking round the old hairpin/starkeys area.

Say hello if you see me, black Alpinestars leathers blue/silver Shark lid.

:D

[pmapp]

I'm off, with a group who we race with. Sun, beer and bikes - what more can I ask for?

Just passed my test this morning, so quick change of plans, and I off on my shiney new SV. We normally plant ourselvs on the hill overlooking Craner Curves.

Might see some of ya there :lol:

[Well Oiled]

Providing my lad Saint Matt picks up me ticket instead of blowing the money while he's camping there - I will be there.

Wheelnut - my mate used to work for Mobil and I've been in that box. The view's really crap. :smt016

Cheers Keith

[wheelnut]

There is a load of bikes around my house now. Probably getting there early for the Day of Champions.

I have to go to Louth to pick my ticket up so will miss the Riders for Health day

[wheelnut]

Beware of speed limits

I have just come along the preferred route for motorbikes on Sunday. The organisers want you to come down the A50, then down the A514 towards Melbourne.

Recently the speed limit just over Swarkestone Bridge has changed from a 40 mph limit to 30 :cry:

As I came into the village of Stanton by Bridge there was a yellow Hi Viz pointing a gun at me :evil:

Be careful as it would spoil your day

[fizzwheel]

They are checking for speeding, now thats funny. It'll be so jamb packed due to the usual rubbish traffic mangement that everybody will be sat still in one huge traffic jamb

I really hope not I'm in the car

[Stormspiel]

how much is it?

£60 Adult weekend Advance
£42 Adult Raceday Advance
£2* Adult saturday

£60 Adult Raceday :shock:

I'll be there for the qualifying on the saturday but i'm watching the race at home on the gogglebox :roll:

[Foey]

Im going with my son & the other half on Sunday, going on the bikes to thank god, i'd rather not go than que up for hours to get home again.

[tricky]

Shall we organise a time/place to meet up ?
I've never (entirely due to my own crapness) met anyone of here face to face :oops:

[wheelnut]

I was eventually rescued by Well Oiled and a couple of others and we watched the prima donna display from Craners :P

I will post a picture of the problem I had :P But I was sorted out by the St Johns Ambulance

[Peter Henry]

Well I know the SV is a bike aimed at those working to a budget,but this is ridiculous! :P :P

[tricky]

Starting to look a bit like lobster man despite lathereing myself in factor 15 all day.

A good day out nevertheless.

[pepe]

Those are the funniest two pictures I've seen in my life :D

Cheers, will stop laughimg in an hour or so.

[wheelnut]

Its hard oop north :P . I think the glue melted in the soles.

The lady in the ambulance was hunting for a camera while her colleague gave me first aid :D

[Tara]

Yep very hot i got burned saturday. The racing was superb and we didn't get stuck in any traffic made it back in 2.5 hours

Great weekend

[ivantate]

Was an ace day, if a bit warm!

As I am new to this pointy riding stuff I worried while watching the temp gauge climb to 103. No gauge no problem on my curvy!!


Got chatting to the guys at blueflame and have now got an exhaust on order, also reluctantly got a hat just before my brain melted!


Worst bit of the day was not being able to walk from Melbourne hairpin to redgate after doing a circuit of the track.

[Peter Henry]

I paid 60 euros for seats in W3 grandstand at Jerez which is on the exit side of the Angel Nieto Curve. Superb position and big screen out in front of us. It was also the place where the riders practised their starts and got up to all kinds of antics after the races.

Pretty good value to me that. 8)

[fizzwheel]

Thats gotta be a record. It took us 10 minutes to get out of the circuit. Looks like they really have been listening to the public. Can't fault the car park system at all.

Great weather, Great racing.

[silent]

was there on the saturday, not a bad day, although we cooked for most of it.

im sure the sunday would have been good

Andy

[CoolGirl]

it was ace, esp when Melandri ****ed up and went backwards and nearly took the rest of the lead pack with him.

And let's be fair, this chap did a damned fine job to take second.

Enjoyed you company Malc. Hope you can join us for thheh Saturday rideout. What I REALLY want to know is how the modified footwear went down at your hospitality box. The thought of you with canape in one hand, champers in the other, and those one your plates o' meat just cracks me up.

:P :P :P

[Rog]
