I clocked up 950 kms on my Yamaha Fazer. (Lille - Dunkerque - Dover - Peterborough - Silverstone - Peterborough - Dover - Dunkerque - Lille) The weather was excellent and the roads good.
It was also a nice opportunity to meet up with my sister, brother-in-law and nieces - my dad wasn't there as he was on holiday in Scotland.
I had the fortune to watch the Sunday races, the 3 Moto categories; GP (1000cc), 2 (600cc), 3 (125cc)
The highlight of the weekend was the spectacular win by Gloucestershire boy Scott Redding who's leading the Moto2 world championship. Cal Crutchlow came in a disappointing 7th (which was a miracle after he had 3 crashes over the weekend). The race was dominated by the two spaniards; Lorenzo and Marquez - who battled it out to the very end - Jorge Lorenzo winning on the last straight!
I enjoy watching it on the box but to be close to the track, the bikes, noise and atmosphere was so much better...a fantastic (late) birthday present.
My dream machine went well, smooth, great acceleration, and superb handling. I thoroughly enjoyed my adventure. I must admit that my old bones were a little stiff on Tuesday but it was well worth it :)
