Great fun being part of the organised rides to the track from bairnsdale on the thursday & cranbourne on the sat...
so u like our melbourne weather!!! great isnt it
what u think of the cranny run? 1st time in years ive missed it, i couldnt be farrked this time... usally a prang or five on the way down
Forgot what the weather throws up down there
sunburn/windburn & hyperthermia all in the space of 6hrs greeners.
Didnt see any prangs..saw a fat bloke on an R1 giving the front or should i say trying to some badly executed air time.. bike cop nailed him
..and even smiled i think after i gave fatty a bit of wrist action gesture & a toot as i smoothed on by, i wasnt alone! This dood pissed off quite a few by conversations

Here's some happy snap's from the weekend
At the start of the weekend got one of these passes with Jorge's name on it
...Which later on got me a shitload of autographed yamaha gear
....
Then got a private tour of the media center from Dorna and shown how they film the race and what goe's into getting the job done (mostly a lot of swearing from the director
)
And then got to meet this guy in person
...
To sum up my first ever MotoGP experience was fugging fantastic

Has JP lost a bit of weight??? I eyeballed a guy in the crowd that I did a double take on, but wasn't sure. By the time I decided to say g'day just in case it was, he was gone. Whoever it was either partially recognised me, or fancied me......... based on the way he looked at me!!!

Definitely lost a bit of weight - I did a double take too - but they weren't moving real quick then
