Hi YD
Mailed the circuit last night, they confirmed the site is back up today, however went through the process to the end point only for the site to not process the card, just locked up
Will try again later.
so you are taking the scenic route down, have you planned yet interested to compare notes although I defo want to do the mont blanc, one of those things to do before you die
Ride mont blanc on litre twin with baffles out race cans
Down side is my mates TLR is f***ing loud

Only had a quick look at
www.mappy.com. Want to go through a place called Cresentino (Italy) as we have a factory there. With this in mappy routed me through Mont Blanc tunnel, will look at St Gothard. Need to put mapping (Garmin) software back on my lads laptop so I can start playing with the route.

Which at 50Kph won't be heard, however over the St Gothard you have granite cliffs, the reverberation off that is stupendous.

Hi YD
Booked the tickets at
[/url]www.ticketone.it
Change the screen to english
You need ... els thru
www.bookings.com[url]
Efficeient easy to navigate site
Used Mapp.com to work out a route, handy that it allows you to select motorbike as a transport option and calculates the related Toll charges for the different routes.
Just about to flex the Tesco vouchers following your tip last month and then I can sit back and say
"proper job" bring on the pasta boys

Argggggggghhhhhhhh,
Registered, got a ref number, now the site as crashed. Will try again later.
With Barcelona you just fax a form through to the circuit, then pick up from any of their offices at the circuit. Much easier.

Poxy, that's not the word.
Got the tickets booked then it wouldn't let me pay. Started again and it still wont take my money.
BTW, Barcelona booked by fax and confirmed within 30 minutes:-
2 Adults 1 Child (14), best seats in the house = €261 (3 day tickets) = Value For Money
Mugello; 1 adult, 1 child, cheapest seats in the house = €212 (2 day tickets) = Robbing Bar Stewards

I think I know the problem I could explain on here but would prob confuse you even more
I have pm'd my mobile if you want to talk it through
My assistance must not be misconstrued as an attempt to infiltrate the YFFF as I must maintain my position as owner of the faster
red machine

I can't agree, Barcelona is a 3rd world track next to Mugello, and its full of greasy dago's
