    Yep, me too, I'll be on the coast for the street racing ... oh, hold on, 23rd you say? The Monday? I could do that, planning to back from the coast on the Sunday night.

    OK, I've confirmed it's definately on the Monday, so I'll be there. I get to watch the street racing on Sunday and then go for a play myself on the Monday, at a much more sedate pace of course. Looking forward to it after all the good reports on the last one that I missed out on

    Well hopefully my bike will be fixed and healthy, ready for this adventure.

    I'm so keen to start getting out there and get some skills and experience.

    Yea, decided to bug out of the second Nelson Creek night with the Plains Club and half the Sundays entertainment and cruse home Sunday hopefully leaving me energised enough to get up early enough to come along on Monday... decide what bike to take nearer the time. Maybe the new DR250 Djebel. It's just like one cooneyr was riding..
