Dutch TT - NWC

Laura #127875
Dick Tym #127876 开云体育 The TT is always on a Saturday Laura. I was watching it but as it is obviously goping to be yet another Rossi benefit (Yawn) I've left it to come and type this. I enjoyed the 125s The 250s were a bit boring but as usual the Moto GP is a forgone conclusion. dick toggle quoted message Show quoted text ----- Original Message ----- From: Laura To: W650riders@...

I sang along to it as a teenager while reading the lyrics (do teenagers still do that?) anyway did hear of BSA and Norton and it wasn't until 26 years later that these names began to mean anything! It's been chosen as the best bikesong at the TT last year apparently. Laura

No rider competes in more than one class these days. I hope this goes some way to making it clearer toggle quoted message Show quoted text ----- Original Message ----- From: Laura To: W650riders@... Sent: Saturday, June 30, 2007 2:28 PM Subject: Re: [W650riders] Dutch TT - NWC I have been trying to understand it all. At a TT (circuit) there's MotoGP which is racing on bikes of between 500cc and 800cc (?) all over europe (or other parts of world as well). Then there's racing on smaller machines. And there's WSB and so on. What is sort of 'the' event? I don't really watch it (yet) but do the Pedrosas and the Rossis do both? WSB and MotoGP. Suppose GP is well the GP so that must be the main racing event then? Pfff complicated.

Dick Tym #127914 开云体育 The same applies to Brands and the viewing and public facilities are far better. Also due to the nature of the track the racing tends to be closer Dick toggle quoted message Show quoted text ----- Original Message ----- From: Jonhaddock@... To: W650riders@...
