Hey:

I agree Sprock it is the greatest race on the planet, plus a good fun party time.

I plan to go again someday, but as a spectator on the end of the back side long straight, with a radar gun to see how fast they are getting to these days. maybe in a couple of years. Maybe ship the CBR or a newer bike (ZX14) for a good return trip around the UK and Europe.

We shall see.

^ Stand on the inside of the turn as not to get a bike in the face at 150 mph.

Hey:

RGR THAT, they have had a few go off at the end, not always with a good outcome.

but outside you might get better photo action shots.

Hey Bordo, how about barracking for the Aussie, Cam Donald, he has been fairly unlucky last time over there. This years coverage has only just started here on OneHD. Would agree it has to be on any bikers bucket list.
