You'll love it!!! and I'm really jealous!

A group of us went to MotoGP in Le Mans a couple of years ago, the noise is totally different to that at WSB or BSB. It gives you goosebumps! I love the atmosphere at bike races. My hubby used to race for BEMSEE unitil he crashed at Cadwell two years ago and fractured his ankle, I won't let him do it anymore .

I've got tickets booked for the BSB round at Brands in April, really looking forward to it

dont think i would be brave enough now definitely got a bit wimpy with age! (and a lot heavier)

and seeing as I bust my thumb today falling off a bloody pushbike would probably end up a bit dead if i went back to sidecars

was fun while it lasted tho

yes I think vale is good - I think its close to where we used to go on the hangar straight. Can tell you all about becketts and maggots - have done both of those on my backside when I fell off! have only been a spectator there a few times and one of those F1 - thing that stuck out for me most was the noise!

enjoy.

I actually managed 2 laps at Silverstone when I was a lot younger and dimmer - was a lot slower than the bikes now tho

Anybody doing Cadwell next year for the superbikes- maybe we could meet up?
