Will he remember me?

Well, the show is coming to the Netherlands this weekend; my brother and I set to attend once more.

If the weather is somewhat ok, we'll camp next to the track.

Hoping the temperatures we'll be ok at night.

Otherwise we'll have to find a suitable place to warm our hands...

depends, if you want to see a battle for the podium with no sight of the winner watch race 1, if you want to see a battle at the front and for the last spot on the podium watch race 2...depend on Dutchy to catch you up with the latest Brolly girl fashions here.

A nice example of why tires are sometimes called buns. :goofy:

I'm not sure it tyres are also called bums across the pond.

I will remember your advice about Fannies in the UK though. :laugh:

Thanks Dutchy. I have heard that this race is the big one to attend. I have been to a few WSBK races at Laguna a few years back but have never made it up to Utah.

A well balanced presentation! Keep them coming!
