I've given up going to the circuits now, big events takes ages to get in and out, waiting for over priced food and drink, see a lot more of the action on telly. Enjoying the WSBK more that moto gp this year. IOM ultimate racing, scarey if you don't know what to expect and get almost within touching distance as they come past. Remember Rossi saying he couldn't believe the speed they were going on roads with flint walls and trees lining them.

yeah the getting in and out of circuits can be a bit of a nightmere, as can booking the TT

Never thought I'd give up after following Foggy through his career. Never got to se you race unfortunately. Highlite of this year was five legends on their two strokes at Goodwood Festival of Speed, very emotional moment.

silverstone is the worst. I've been in and out with no probs at San Marino longest cues was for rossis shop and pizza restaurant. Catalunya is fine if you park up in montmelo town and not the circuit car parks.

Echo that, WSBK has never been as competitive
MotoGP I watch but can say I'm buzzing to see the next round at the moment
Donnington had a good attendance yesterday which is very pleasing to see since there are less and less folks with big bikes. To be fair the prices around were not that extortionate either. Cracking circuit been a few times over the years, great memories too
BSB next for me

Nice one, what class were riding in, couple of my mates were racing at one time
Need to get my finger out and have a blast around Donnington, could do with a track day bike though, no wrecking my beautiful baby, Mate was telling me people from insurance companies go and watch nowadays and record all the registrations ffs

Nice one
My mate told me a story about Porto that made me laugh. He was on a practice session, litre bikes and thought he was fast, bloke past him on an R1 on the outside of one of the corners like he was stood and went on to leave him for dead, later talking to him in the pit lane he only had one arm
Think if I retired and had some brass there loads of circuits to ride, would love a blast around Phillip Island myself, corkscrew at Lagua Seca etc, wouldn't mind a blast around Aragon either 🏍
One thing like you say though, on TV you never get the same perspective of how a tracks goes up and down, blind summits and corners etc. until you see it for real

Worked with a bloke who used to go there regular, he had a souped up golf, was on Top Gear with it. Mental place and crashes galore, very dangerous!
