Sorry if this has been asked already, haven't been sifting about for a while.
Who from here is going over in Sept for the GP?

memememem mMEMEEMEME MEME ME

And some others... Speak up kiddies...

[Marknz]

Yep, planning on it. May even go over a week earlier to catch the AU Superbike meeting in Tasmania as well.

[nsrpaul]

I'll be there:blah:

[Skunk]

Looks like we're going again.
Just booked the flights (and found out Skunk_Control had booked the accommodation last year... :shutup: )

[Deano]

Me and Mrs Deano are going.

So where and when do we meet up for a few beers ?

Well, I've gotta wee group going over, we're staying at my sisters place in St Kilda.
So if you're in Melbourne rather than staying at the track...her place!
It's my 40th while I'm there, so will no doubt be quite thirsty!
Failing that....the track!!

40 !!!!!! 40 !!!!! jesus, you old bastard !

I had a call from an old mate in Adelaide, offering accom on the Island !
Just waiting for the details now as they're riding over. Might spot ya there, I'll be wandering around over the 3 days. G.

I'm going over with the Honda Riders Club (hope they don't mind me cheering for Rossi). Just got to book the NZ connecting flights and buy insurance today... Wear some KB gear y'all.

Dude, I would seriously spend the effort & $ trying to find some accom on the island. The trip from Melbourne every day will break you, but esp on race day the traffic has to be seen to be believed. :shutup: Preferably on telly. Travelling for several hours at the start & end of each day when you could be drinking or trying to get into a eatatorium. Nah!

Isle of Wight pub in main centre of Cowes is the place to drink. Maybe I’ll go again one day, but went 6 times in a row so got a bit burnt out.

+ the 4 strokes just aren’t the same spectacle.

We're staying at the campervan high ground site (at the track).

Might have to get roaming and swap the roaming number with each other so we can txt ?? Sound like a plan.

Or, I've just been advised that when you arrive in Oz, you get a txt message outlining how to go about txting and calling each other - but this might only apply to Telecom.

PM on its way.

Ta for that, but I've been before and know how bad it is, it's just that my sister is away in Europe so her place is my free camp for the week!
I'll see what the weather's like, may even stay under the stars out there Sat night!!!

I heard all the best partying occurs in the tent campsite. Either that or we could party at/around (not in) Mr and Mrs Deano's campervan.

[SPman]

Next year - gonna ride over with a group from Perth!
Only trouble with that is I gotta ride back again..........fuck its a long way!

Yeah I might ask my Blister if she's got a tent!

Get one on Vodafone too. Just have to pick a provider as there is a choice (shock, horror!).

Crasher... I should be in tomorrow to pick up my helmet (the green one of course).
