Ive thought long and hard of going on my GTR1400.  hitting in in 2 days flat from Cambs, day at the race and then 2 days ride back.  maybe even do the whole thing in 4 days and push myself.

Ive been looking on Groupon for the massively discounted tickets but they aint come up so now i recon its a tad too late to just set off and turn up, no ticket and no digs.

shame - the GTR is an epic tourer (sorry to swear on here)  i once did 1000 miles in 24 hrs on the GSX and spent 2 days thinking id been run over!

Jorge fastest on day one, it could be his first win for Ducati and the year. It should be a great Valencia Race Day.

Don't wear your shorts for the trip back home seth, it's getting a bit cold up your neck of the woods.  Watched the race last night and was amased by the save marquez made but I dont think the end result was ever in danger.
