Nice idea, but no way I'm getting a couple of weeks to play on bikes without family commitments.....

Phew, that was lucky. Getting the time off work was going to be problematic.

Ok, BumbleBee is having an oil/filter change, and if I get time put another set of front brake rotors on (front started vibrating badly under brakes on my trip south) a wash (from said trip) and then a full tank of fuel and bike will be delivered.

So can we have a hands up for who is definitiely going to PI for WSBK weekend, especially Sunday?

I'm a def for the Sunday, there's a whole gang of us going down from Mornington, although I'm the only one with a decent bike because the rest are riding bikes of Asian decent  [roll]

Once we know who and how many, maybe we can organise a meeting spot/corner for the Duc's to mingle and clatter. I usually park on Doohan (1st corner) until I get tired of neck whip then I go to Corner 10 or 11 just past Lukey Heights, its also a little less crowded there.

unfortunately I wont be making it this year, but speaking of good vantage points, I always liked to hang @ MG - it amazes me watching them come over the hill, hard on the brakes into MG, roll it on, short shift up the box to get the power down through the final turns onto the straight....

Damn, I'm missing the WSBK already!

Sorry, I too will be missing at the Island  :'(

IN! The wife and I fly into MEL on Saturday, then rent a car and make our way to the Island. We're staying just outside of Cowes, hitting the races Sunday, then staying in MEL Sunday night. We'd definitely be up for a beer.

Have a great time everyone.
I'll be working over the weekend, but if you are in town on Monday I'm up for a beer.
