MotoGP Anyone?

[Large]

Who's going this year?

[totaldamage]

I'll be going but anything can happen between now and then

I'm thinking of hiring a Hiace Commuter bus and driving down(fuck doin 5000k's in 7 days on my bike).Havnt done any homework on figures yet but should work out pretty cheap between 14 punters + ya can drink piss all the way if ya not the nominated driver.If any1's keen,speek up and i'll get the ball rolling.;)

[Large]

I never thought of you as the deep thought type Davo.

TTTT I'm fuxing impressed. The last three years I've supplied the car and done most of the driving. You doing pickups in Sydney? Where you thinking of staying?

Cowes caravan park is only a short walk up the beach into town.:)

:D

i'll do pickups anywhere on the way mate,just gota fill a 14 seater.havnt made any accom enquiries yet,but sounds like you got a few idea's being a seasoned campaigner.will wait till a few more punters speek up before wasting my time.

[Gix11]

I'm riding down this year with Terry and a couple of other guys. First offer I got so I took it. We have accomodation booked but I have no idea where except it's near a pub.

[TurboKat]

I can highly recommend the Trackside Campground for accommodation, just like a BIG rally vibe (burnouts aplenty, Stones bombs, fireworks, donuts, pissed nude blokes doin laps/skids/fallin off, rock/blues bands, slab sales, food vans, firewood sales, slack security & a special for this year, a mini replica racetrack right in the middle!, rides, clowns, face painting for the kids & much, much more - what more could you ask for? ........ Oh, yeah......chicks I s'pose - bit light on for them [V])
I used to stay in Cowes for years until the Fun Nazis stepped on all the good bits, best of both worlds is camping trackside & scoot into Cowes on Fri & Sat nights, get a feed, go to the pub for a few, see what's happening (bit quiet these days) hang around a bit if it looks promising and/or head back to the track the back way, (Shano & I know all the side streets & back roads from years of experience dodging Coppers half pissed) there's always somethin goin on in the campground, even at 3am.
Foxy's Hawaiian shirt crew are good for a laugh, complete with inflatable palm trees deckchairs & even their own beach! motorised tents cruising around, blokes with pool tables & swimming pools in their campsites, you name it.
Only bikes & tents are allowed into the Trackside but for campervans (& Gibbo's 60 ft luxury Winnebago) you camp in the Highside campground which is only a 2 min stagger away (if you don't fall in the big ditch)
Motels & caravan parks are for poofs. [:0]:(

[TurboKat]

& if Casey keeps riding the way he did tonight, it'll be Fucking Huuuuge! [:p]

[hooligan]

I'll be going again,(dunno who with yet).
Tonights race was fucking great. Anyone riding down from/through sydney?

[sheepy]

Move aside Valantino, here comes Stoner. What a great race he had. Pity about the last lap but his riding confidently.

[Large]

I was just talking to my brother about this and he reminded me it's a month early this year...so it's going to be fuxing cold in that part of the world.

I`LL BE THERE:D
JOB or NO JOB they can get F:([}:)][B)][V]:([8][}:)][:0]ED [:X]
Dont know how i`ll get there but i`ll BE there:D
think`n about a camper van with hot & cold renter`s[:o)]

COLD ??? In Victoria ??? Never !!! ;)

[Deano]

Count me in. i will be camping this year and cant wait. was a great race last night but that last lap move was more predictable than something that is really precdictable.
mind you great effort for the youngster.

a champion in the making.

Maybe we should organise some ASF Drizabones...

[gibbo]

I'll be there as well, hoping to do the Barry Sheene run also, anyone else interested?
Did you lot watch the 250 race, 280ks on the grass after rear ending another bike, sounds like something Chalky might do.

[TurboKat]

LOL, :D
That was the most amazing "crash" I've ever seen, the whole race was an edge of the seat job.
That circuit in Turkey seems to be a good equaliser, lots of close racing in all the classes.

[Foxy]

Me and my Hawaiian shirt will be there as usual.

Any interstaters that need a roof over there head before Thursday, I'll be happy to oblige.

Speaking of crashes.....let's see if we can take out another 916!!!!!

Oh yeah, there'll be more that just a moving tent this year too, but it's top secret, not even I know what it is.

[Large]

There was some guys in Hawaiian shirts fishing for girls with a dildo on a fishing line last year...

Anything to do with you Foxy?

[Gix11]

Hooligan, we shold be passing through that way mate. I'll let you know where and when when I find out.

[hooligan]

Thanks. I have trouble thinking that far ahead : )

[Gsxar]

Will be there not sure if camping or staying in town yet tho

[Foxy]

Yep, that and the stone bombs, and the flare gun, and just for the record, I wasn't the one riding naked (literally) on the SV

[clairebear]

trackside is the best! go there.

[Foxy]

Yep, can't beat the atmosphere trackside!!!

[slamdog]

[Iceman]

Meet you half way, if nobody's there when you arrive just tread water for as long as you can. lol

[slamdog]

sweet ill be the one with water wings and a speedo on.

[Iceman]

I've been taking classes so that I can communicate with people from the Land of the Long White Cloud.

'That'd be choice eh bro!'

lol

[arbee]

i`ll go if anyone is riding through sydney and want someone to tag along

[Gix11]

Sounds like we're going to pick up a few on the way through. Good work. Still not sure of the details but I'll let you know when we plan to come through.

[Large]

You going down the coast road Gix?

Don't tell me you're planning on going over the mountains.

[BOHEMION]

Yep was talking to a mate tonight and looks like we may be truckin it down

[Zed14]

[arbee]

[BOHEMION]

[Zed14]

my comment was aimed at those not riding gix. and i would be happy to ride from qld.:D

[BOHEMION]

Gix what day are you leaving ?

[Gix11]

Dunno mate. Terry (Mr. Hoyosung) is arranging it all. I'm, as usual, tagging along and blisfully oblivious to everything. I'll let you know nearer the time.

[BOHEMION]

No probs am still trying to get confirmation from my mate will have that VERY soon as well

[hooligan]

It might be a stupid idea, but what about getting some ASF flags made for the campers?

[Gix11]

I've heard madder ideas mate. Not bad actually so you can find your tent in a sea of them when your wankered on brew. But who'd want one? Anyone?

[Large]

I'll go a ASF Mud Cord

[BOHEMION]

Yeah I collect flags, got one from ALOT of dif Countries and sports I'd buy a few Gix then make a complete git of myself of at the Moto GP flying it high hahaha

[Large]

you a boy scout booh? :D

[BOHEMION]

My office - Should get off my arse and replace that stinkin Broncos flags with COWBOYS flags hehe. Would look ALOT better with a few Aus Street fighter flags hanging up. UP DA QLDER thats a 1992 PREMIERS origin flag - was at that game - Fuking aweome for a 9 year old.

[TurboKat]

A flag would be good for the World Superbikes at the Island 'coz you can ride your bikes into the circuit [8D], I make it a habit of flying an Aussie flag off my bike every year, there's room for an ASF one as well [^], although where to stick the flagpole on a Streetfighter?
Chalk, Davo, that's your cue :D

[BOHEMION]

Fuking great idea

[Pommy boy]

I'll b there

[Deano]

i would go a flag mate

Davo & mundy may be taking the long way down the coast stopping at various villages on the way,looks like we`ll be taking a camper van.So wot i`m thinking is to deck said vehicle out with ASF decals on the pilgramige.
The locals may be educated on the journey as to our plight.
Yes we will be taking happy snaps for the record.

[Foxy]

I'll b there


About time you joined up..... are you camping?

[gibbo]

Flag sounds a good idea, maybe we could attach one to the top of the beer tent so we can all find one another.

[Large]

To the Mexiburnians...

Have you guys booked campsites in the trackside campground yet?

[arbee]

what day are ya going thru sydney and when ya leaving to come back.how much does it cost to camp down there nowadays

[crazymofo]

im very interested in coming along for the RIDE down there and back

cheers.joe.

[IMP-INC]

hey, how many bikes get pinshed down ther every year...isnt it like 500 bikes.. or was i told bullshit

[Large]

Just about every bike under 300cc is stolen and burnt in the trackside campground bonfires

[arbee]

has anyone got any info on the camp ground?

[throttlejockey]

i am definatley going.
when i heard that motogp is dropping to 800cc (next year) i asked around & decided that if this is the last time ill get to see live, loud, full blown motogp bikes, then i am there.

i lucked out & booked a house for accomodation!!!
2 mins from the pub & 1 min from the beach right in the heart of town.

there are 8 beds that unfortunatley are all taken -
BUT, not all have been paid for!

if any spots come up, ill post 'em here to see if some fellow asf members want in.

the only thing left now is to decide on which grand-stand to park my fat arse in...;)

[TurboKat]

From experience TJ, the best grandstand is at Siberia corner, you can see approx. 3/4 of the track from there & even better if you get a seat up the top (at the back of the stand)
FWIW only snobs have grandstand seats, you'll miss out on all the fun & games with the REAL race fans. [^]
I'll be up bright & early Sundy morning to do the <s>stagger</s> walk from the campground to our favourite spot on the hill to stake out our claim, Deano & Foxy will confirm that it's the best spot to watch from. [8D]
How are our ASF flags coming along Gix?? ;)

[Gix11]

Oh yea, flags!? Leave it with me. What size did we propose in the end? Can't remember.

[ozkat]

ill buy a flag too.

[hooligan]

I don't think it got past the "i want one" stage.What are the options?

[Gix11]

Ok. This is a bit groovy. Apparently the standard size flag is a 2yard flag (1800x900). For that you wanna be really keen as I got quoted $330 just for set up costs and then $308 on top of that for 1 flag, $253 for 2 and then $239 for 3-9 flags! Even as a joint effort, that's pretty mental. Anyone know of any other suppliers or suggestions?

ASF Undies, and hang'em from the aerial :D

(black/pink Lace, crotchless etc etc)

[BOHEMION]

Howd ya go Gix ?

[Gix11]

Didn't get chance mate - story of my life. You really have to see how my day goes to believe it! I'll try again tomorrow.

[oldskool]

I'll be there, hopefully my gsxr will be in the bike show, look forward to meetin some of you guys down there.

[kevkatana]

Will be there.Trackside campground.Can't wait.

[Bobster]

Just back from the Donington motogp, bloody loud. Next WSB at Brands Hatch, then back home for the Ulster Grand Prix at Dundrod. UGP should be good if McGuinness goes well, expect a new outright lap record faster than the TT (probably around 130+)

[TurboKat]

My inside source for all things WSBK & GP has given me accurate mail that the Trackside campground is nearly full as a result of Linz & his mates sticking a fucking great racetrack in the middle of it.
I'll be booking my spot tomorrow morning & I'll ask how many spots are left & let yuz know asap.
My advice for anyone wanting to camp in the REAL campground is book now to avoid having to stay in the 2nd rate Highside campground with the likes of Gibbo & his 80' luxury Winnebago ;)
If we get enough members in Trackside, we can set up an official ASF "compound" - that could be fun :D
Only 43 more sleeps ! [:p]

[gibbo]

Winnebago:) Topless waitresses this year:D:D:D

[Gix11]

Ok Chris (and anyone else from the Sydney area going down), I got a brief from the lads i am riding down with and apparently we are heading into Sydney down the Putty Road into Windsor (that means nothing to me) and then onto Bega where we are staying the night at Superhcarger's sister's place. If anyone wants to catch up for a bit of a ride with us (and I think there might even be enough room for one or two more people at Bega) let us know. I'll have more details nearer the time.

[hooligan]

I went to the doctor yesterday who told me that my broken scaphoid wasn't healing,and i'll need surgery to fix it (to insert a screw). I don't know if i'll be riding or not. I'm still riding at the moment though, so fingers crossed, eh.

[TurboKat]

24 more sleeps [:p]
Better getcha Trackside campground tickets if you haven't already, mail is it'll be sold out by the Frydy so don't expect to lob up on Satdy & expect to be in the GOOD campground. :(
You have been warned. [}:)]

Yeah Hooligan, ASF tent city is on the cards, space fills up purty quick these days with the go kart track in the middle now, it's pretty hard to find a bit of bare ground by Fridy arvo but we'll be there around 10am Fri. so we'll try to keep some space around us.
Hey JoJo, you & Gixerboy camping Trackside? if not, I'll hafta borrow the big ASF banner.

[Gsxar]

Yep we shall be there Trackside, Hopefully Thursday night. Planning on doing the Barry Sheene ride. Anyone else going on it?
Hopefully we also have a car going down so might be able to take a bigger tent,fire wood etc. & of course the banner :D

[kevkatana]

Should be there some time friday.Hopefully before lunchtime. Aint sick leave great. "coff coff"

[gibbo]

Hey Jo, I'll be on the Barry Sheene thingo, keep an eye out for ya.

[Booster]

Most years i'm camping near the trees in the middle but with a wedding saturday i'm not keen to pay 3 days camping and entry for 1/2 of friday and most of sunday, so i'll probably stay with friends in Cowes,Which beer tent and what day around the track ??

[pommie]

i will be there, so if i see any of you ASF chaps i will say hi,
i was going to ride from newcastle & put my bike in the show, but have had to change plans & fly, soft lad or what!

[gibbo]

how about friday, 12 o clock at the beer tent, the one at the front (turn 12 side) of the expo tent?

[Gix11]

I think we should be riding into town on Friday so get Deano to text us if you get together.
