2011 Phillip Island Moto GP

I've been thinking about it for a couple of years then decided I'm going to the GP this year.... Fly from Sydney ....Nah I'm going to ride

Anyone else planning on going this year? Any of you Sydney/NSW dudes going to ride down?

I rode down last year from Sydney.
It *could* have been awesome, but the g/f was having one of those PMS weeks.

OMG! NEVER AGAIN!

next time it's a "lone wolf" adventure for me.

still not sure if I'm going to do it this year.

Canberra to Cooma has some sweet road are you going through Bega / Brown Mountain / Merimbula / Tura?

Everytime I drive to Mum and Dad's place at Tura I wish I was on my bike coming down Brown Mtn (Well except in the middle of winter and black ice!)

I don't do the pillion thing on my beloved old bike LOL!
The G/F was riding her Honda litre bike.
I still cringe when I think of that little adventure.

Rented a house big enough for about 12 - 15 people only 3km from the track.
It would've been awesome if her disposition been better on that week.

We don't really ride together after that anymore

Girls and their ego's ....

I hadn't heard that. Was it from the race? He won so probably not, or just really good at riding with a hurt neck
