| Who's going to the GP at Phillip Island? The Blade, m'self, and my find young lady friend will be venturing down with a few friends. Who else will be in attendance? Might be worth trying to catch up

We were considering doing that, but we have other things to cough up for in the next few months, so... will make do with general admin for the Sunday.Kinda hoping for a nice ride down over a couple of days too.

Riding down on Thursday/Friday (one of the guys has a 996 and its too far for him in one day, poor baby).
We're staying at Ventnor.
Here's hoping that the weather is a bit less Melburnian this year.
Maybe catch some of you guys at the track or perhaps meet one night in Cowes for a glass of lemonade  |

| Re: Who's going to the GP at Phillip Island? Have been planing to ride down, But a few mates have piked so Im not sure what Im doing at the moment  If I ride ill probalbly do it in two days and spend the night at lakes entrance like last year. My other alternative is fly down then I can take my younger brother (17) as he doesnt have a road bike or licence? Some mates have a house that we stayed in last year at Cowes so Ill probalbly camp there  |
