Gonna be a long, long weekend !!!

That just sounds a little crazy. Hope the Guzzi is a comfortable ride.

Yeah well I've been known to be a little crazy before

Guzzi is not too bad (just don't ask the pillions for their opinion

) , I'll put the bikini fairing on it, plus Skunk will take my gear in his van.

edit - Mrs Nudey has told me I can use the car for that weekend, so it's not so bad afterall.

Talk to MNZ cos the F4 GP has been run this year too. My guess is this is the 2009 GP titles. Can racer40 or scrivy confirm?

Will the F5s manage 8 laps in 40 minutes???

Hmmmm . . . problem there for me. Crashed the last two race meetings I rode in, but I did only go to hospital for a few days the first time and the second one I think i only stuffed one shoulder and a few ribs. Third time lucky of course, eh?

**F5 Dave** · 25th November 2008, 08:23

ah, actually I didn't crash in the open 50GP (although I did lap 2nd place so I could probably have afforded to). The next day I said 'to heck with it' & threw myself on the ground a couple of times.
