To share in the whole weekend experience with the lads ! race at Assen...its going to be a great memory and not cost alot more than a UK round..sure its a drive but hell so is Cads or Oulton............

Can i afford to go no..........am i going yes!! i simply cant afford not to from an expereince point of view

Those that choose not to go will prolly regret it.............i know i would......


Ed Zachary! If I'm going to spend £x000 this year, what's an extra £1-200 to go to Assen, meet some of the Dutch gang, see their fantastic bikes (and they are legendary), ride the new GP circuit, eat too many waffles, and show them how to race. Or at least how to crash with style!

As for points at Cadwell, I can't condone forcing complete novices into potentially very cold/wet conditions for their first race. Our first weekend was hard enough as it was without the prospect of serious weather hanging over you (yes, it was a little wet in practice, but there's a whole world of difference between practicing in the wet and racing). Having said that it'll almost certainly be picture-pefect weather now just to wind me up!

I'd also like a chance for my shoulder to strengthen up so April would be perfect all round.

Just my 2p.
