Absolute b'stard to get out of tho..........!

I've done Valencia for WSB, Catalunya for GP this year, but tops for me has to be Brno....

Next years plans revolve around where i may end up working, but if it's still Europe then Mugello for sure, Jerez hopefully, and maybe Valencia again.

If I got the chance, then the Ducati Stand at Mugello. Failing that, I'd do the VIP treatment at Le Mans again.

Those who I normally travel with have asked that I organise a trip to the Sachsenring for next year.

Thanks guys - I reckon I'd like to go to Jerez, only really because I've ridden it, if its relatively easy to get there / back etc - then that might be the one. But its on March 25 2007 - Jerez - probably will clash with DD??? - or Mugello on June 3rd.

Or both!!! hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Thanks again

Forget these millionaire GP muppets. Loughler, Hutchinson Finnegan, Donald, Martin, etc, these guys are the real deal. You can get a return flight to Ireland from any UK airport for like £20 or the ferry for £60 with a bike, B&B are £15 pppn and the racing is never more the €10 and most cases its free, the crack is brilliant and the girls, well irish, enough said. North West, Kells, Skerries all fantastic this year and the weather was red hot. These guys dice with death and get paid peanuts for what they do, its a shame there is not the kind of support that the GPs get. You are stood 1ft from the road watching 10+ bikes being ringed to death all trying to get round a course/road that is basically 4m wide on a surfice that is no better than your average drive.

It a shame some people have all the money and no imagination. They tell you they have been to the TT, so that counts. It is a fantastic 2 weeks, I've been several times, but it is certainly NOT road racing by any stretch! in fact compared to Irish racing its pretty dull.

Cameron Donald at Skerries hiting the limiter on a stretch of road with a 30 speed limit and a HP at the end, houses both sides and 10 other bikes all trying to get past him, he is not human.

If you fancy it next year, drop me a line, I live in Ireland and have lots of space. Around 10 mates comes over for each meet, it's fantastic.
