I did the Ring for the first time in April. Just hope it stays dry as you don't want to go out there in the wet. After you've been round you'll see what I mean.
Its an awsome, almost emotional experience. 13 miles of twist / turns and blind bends. Spectators wave at you from the grandstands - its great. Rossi for a day !
The concentration levels are immense as at this time of year it'll be very busy. I went into a bend a little to quick, dropped to 2nd gear and let the clutch out a bit quick as I was running out of road. Back end went twitchy and so did mine. You cant afford to crash your bike as its your transport to get home - so with that fact lingering in the back of my mind I was probably over cautious - but I lived to tell the tale. Its an experience that has to be done at least once. Oh yeah and all of the old wives tales are true !
