2015 Assen TT

Does tickets to attends the Assen TT sound like a good enough birthday present for you ? It does it for me in a way no other has in the last 10 years. And I'm including the presents made to myself in the list.

So ! Friday we headed to Assen to attend the MotoGP round. We rode there 2 up on the R11S to cover the 400-ish kilometers to the track. Then Yesterday we made the remaining 30 kilometers and parked the bike among thousands others.

The view from our bench located at the end of the start/finish straight, perfectly placed to observe every single crash happening in the first corner.

We had a great time there watching the races, no to mention seeing Zarko and Rossi on top. And those nice wristbands will bring up memories when taken out from our dedicated souvenir box. What's more to a new life ?

Marquez who ?

Now who is this racer on the foreground of this Johann Zarco picture ?

Can't wait for Moto2

Maybe it's that endless winter or maybe it's just me and my legendary patience, but I can't wait to see these bikes on the track.

Take a Honda 600cc engine derived from the CBR outputing aroung 140 to 150 bhp and slip it inside a prototype frame and you get what could be the most promising competition to come. That's what Moto2 is all about : young talented riders trashing their screaming engine while at impossible lean angles.
C'mon snow ! Get the hell out !
