**Sparky Bills** · 29th April 2006, 13:12

Whos going this year?
I may be heading over to check out what all the fuss is about.
Will be in the Official Ducati Corp box on Gardner Straight!
Should be great! Food and drink for all the days, Pit pass, accomadation and travel sorted.

Just gotta pay for it all now!

Went last year. Not sure if I'll have the $$ this time, but definitely worth the trip if you can.

Stayed in a rental house in Smiths Beach which was a good move. About 20 minutes walk to the circuit - which was faster than the traffic. There was plenty of busses back from Cowes on the saturday night.

Me, crazylittleshit, vasalinewarrior, limbim... and maybe a couple of others are heading over. Not sure where we're staying yet - there's a hostel on the street in Melb that has all the bike shops on it that looks good (ie.cheap) but we want to hang out on the island for at least one night too so I dunno. Heading over Fri morn til Mon, prob just going to the Sun racing though - trying to keep it all under 1k.

Still have to figure out how to get a package deal etc.

We will be going over this year again, fly into Sydney week before (probably catch up with your Old Man Sparky), play tourist for a week, staying 10min walk to track already sorted, spending the weekend in Kawasaki corporate box.

Velox if you are going with a group look at renting a house in Cowes for a couple of days - this is the cheapest option if going in a group, call me if you have any queries 4770 460. (This will be our 8th or 9th trip to Phillip Island)

Melbourne is a long way from Phillip Island (2hr drive, buses take a lot longer). Plus with all the traffic etc, you'd find it better to rent a house on the island.

The house we got slept 6 easy- more if you want to crash on the floor - and was around $1000 for a week. So not bad when shared with others.

Hell yes I am going..have everything booked. Have a campervan booked through Britz in Melbourne..the lady was saying that they are already heavily booked..if anyone is thinking about it then hurry and book a campervan..$190 a day between 4 is pretty good, tickets are still $130 for 3 days until end of May and camp site is $71 per serson per day..all can be booked through grandprix.com.au..will look for SparkyBill maybe he can throw or drop a few cans off the Ducati balcony to the peasants?

Stay at the trackside campground! The show when everyone gets hammered is worth the entry price alone!

**Jase W** · 29th April 2006, 20:25

Damn you all!
Stupid not being paid enough...

**dss3** · 29th April 2006, 22:08

yUP Yup, looking foward to it, about 4 of us from hams will be heading over :-)

**Sparky Bills** · 30th April 2006, 11:09

Sweet. Sound like a few then.
Will be my 1st time to the Island, so better get my shit sorted then.

**Marknz** · 30th April 2006, 12:15

I'll be there with my usual crowd from canberra... missed the last one so really looking forward to this year what with it being the last of the true MotoGP bikes, and Stoner and Vermuelen (pole position for Turkey tonight!!) doing so well.

Lil bro Drftin is goin to the Donnington round the lucky little punk. Our old man got him some tickets so the bastard dont even gotta pay for it.

Guess who the favorite kid was in our family.

If anyone needs me, i'll be in the corner having a cry.
