I predict that I'm an idiot who forgot about the WSB and agreed to work this sunday. Bollocks!

Some say a comet will fall from the sky. Followed by meteor showers and tidal waves. Followed by faultlines that cannot sit still. Followed by millions of dumbfounded dipshits. Some say the end is near. Some say we'll see armageddon soon. I certainly hope we will
I sure could use a vacation from this stupid shit, silly shit, stupid shit... One great big festering neon distraction, I've a suggestion to keep you all occupied. Learn to swim!!!
No all dialled in on the recorder wish I was going p.
Read Assen is suffering with poor attendance and thinking of moving race day to Sunday in the future
Bike packed, leaving 08.00 tomorrow. Londonsean, if you're camping at Jan en Bertha's you might stumble upon a silver/black Tuono and an all black RSV. Stop and say hello.
I don't have to remember.
DVR set to "record First Run of Series" and I'm Good To Go.

Stop and say hello.Staying with one of SWMBO's mates on Friday night in Voorburg, and stopping in Elst on Sat night. We are only heading off Fri morning (work unfortunately) and back on the Sun (same fecking reason
)
Maybe some other time, her ladyship and I are planning a track day at Brands. I am also planning on her riding a big V-Twin, apparently her GSXR 750 is 'boring' despite it being the bike she has lusted after for years! Fecking women!

You've got that right!!!
Hoh, Hum, another shitty day in paradise!
Oh Well. Here's hoping for a dry race ( and rest of the week, please). ENJOY!!!
Bigralphie, i first read that story right here and couldn't believe it. Assen has been on a saturday for 80 years. When i arrived there it definitely seemed as busy as ever and continued that way throughout the weekend.
The last few times i've been to Assen there have been between 100k and 110k visitors. Last weekend was 90,250. Ok, 10% down but still pretty packed. We couldn't see any empty seats in any stands visible to us.
Anyway, there is still a recession on throughout europe and to still get that sort of attendance is nothing to panic over for a year or 2 imo.
I don't think changing the race to Sunday is the solution, in fact quite the opposite. If it changes to Sunday i think you'll find 1,000's more abandoning the race because of the travelling arrangements. Most of our group need to be back at work Monday morning, travelling halfway back after the race and then doing the last 250-300miles on the sunday is the best, most comfortable way to travel. Riding 500miles in heavy traffic on a sunday afternoon starting at 17.00 is bonkers.
Will be a great shame if they change it, to ruin 80 years of tradition just to please the bank manager.
