What rain? There hasnt been a cloud in the sky here all day

How can some folk say it's boring when he keeps winning all the time? Personally, i'm quite happy to watch possibly the best racer of all time keep winning.

Anyway, i see he done his usual,...wait till the last laps of the race and then turn it up a few notches just to rub eveyones faces in it. Class.

NO JUST F**KING STUPID.

Got soaked watching the racing bought 1 of them beach tents helped loads for about 2 hours then might of well stood outside. Dryed of in the tent for an hour.
Didn't get wet on the way home though. Left the camp site at 8 last night got back to south east London at 2245hrs. Little drizzle when i left bit harder on the M1 for about 20 mintues then nothing.
My mate went left to Leeds and got soaked(he he he).
Well worth it the weekend was great.

100% Cuppa! The man's proven time & time again, he's the best, probably ever. He continues to amaze. How on earth can people describe riding genius as boring???

We went up to a Travel Inn Sat night at Junc 16 and finished the journey eary Sunday. It started to rain just as we came off the M1 so we did get a bit damp arriving. However as we were in the VIP suites at Goddard we were very dry and comfy all day

(not to mention, fed, watered, looked after etc etc)

unlike some of these

and these

Getting out of the circuit was quite tedious and it was still raining, but having the right gear it wasn't a big deal and the rain did stop about half an hour after we hit the M1. In fact it was quite a nice evening by the time we got back home

I had hoped and thought Shakey could have been in the running for some points myself

Hi Essexbloke,
Good to see your're back on here posting again, I thought you'd disappeared

Glad you enjoyed it also. Don't be too disheartened about those in the stand's, I think the word "freebies" came into somewhere

Managed to wangle full hospitality in the Redgate suites...travelled up by car with non-riding mate, got into circuit about 09:00 so saw all warm-ups etc, baled out before R6 race to get a good start home (still took 4.5 hours).

Racing was stunning!

Even managed to see RIG (Rossi Is God) -- his trailer was parked in the pits just behind our suite - he's right small!

Felt like I was missing out a bit by not riding up, or mixing it with the crowds, but as many bacon sarnies as you can eat, and staying dry help ease the pain.
