The Last Hurrah at Phillip Island

I'm currently staying a pissing distance from the Mekong River. In a couple of days, full moon the naga dragon fires balls will start shooting up out of the river. Been wanting to see this event for years.
Do a google search for Mekong river fire balls. Its an unexplained freaky event that only happen at the end of the Buddhist rains retreat, auk pensar.

You can't take Bass Strait and the Southern Ocean out of The Island!

Try putting up a couple of tents when you are already '3 sheets to the wind '. Was it 'Stones the Original Green Ginger wine '? It could have been a big night out with Jose the 'Mexican'; after all, we were in southern, "hey Cheech" southern Mexico; if you know, you know. It was a great weekend, I think.:cool:🛸🚀

We anticipate 'Hi resolution photographs".
 
The only Island visit I did was the first one, and it was my first big trip on my 3C. The major memory involved a catastrophic section involving a bottle of OP Rum the night before and a hangover that resulted in nearly missing the 250GP. That was about the time I decided I wasn't a big drinker. The trip home included 450ks of dirt back drom Mansfeild to Jyindbine over 2 days. All in all, it was epic.
 
Top day today - long ride in the drizzle from house to track and back. Semi-wet qualifying where MM proved what an insane freak he is, deck it, get back to the pits get the spare bike, outqualify enryone by 1.5s!! Weather cleared for the Sprint and very sad to see Jorge down for the count and out.

Nice run off the Island with the blue line in operation - good traffic management! Tomorrow's rain fest may not be quite as manageable or pleasant!

I guess there's no point watching it now I know that Martin binned it!!
Make comments but you could leave the details out for those that haven't watched it yet.

Sorry Rob! Unwanted benefit of having been there! Wrongly assumed people elswhere watch it live on the box. Had a message from Lee in Southern Spain and he already knew the details.
 
Shit, I most likely will get to see it on Fox Sports Network, maybe Sunday, but most likely Monday or Tuesday, sometimes as late as Thursday if they carry it; totally unreliable network when it comes to MotoGP. Often you program to record on FOX a MotoGP event, and they FOX have an event unrelated to MotoGP, like Las Cruces, New Mexico Seniors 'Pickle Ball' Regional Championship playoff. FFS, I'M NOT KIDDING!

I have watched MotoGP races on YouTube; very exciting, but then you realize it's not real; it's some dick posting an AI-generated event of the race from the very same weekend event. Very soon you will not know what is real and what isn't.
I saw a Video on YouTube of Yamaha motorcycles lapping a MotoGP track, no riders- well, no human rider.
NASCAR human drivers should be very worried; it's pretty simple to program 4 left turns.

You're gettin up too late Rob!! Sprint was at 3pm - you're only 2 hours behind us! Tossing up whether i spend the day in the pissing rain today or sit by the fire down here near the Prom and ride home in the rain later in the day.

Two Aus Superbike races, Moto3, Moto2 and MotoGP scheduled - I honestly can't see them being able to run them all - they can race on a wet track but n ot if there are streams running across the track - the rain band is coming down from central Oz. The Island is sticking the middle finger up to the organisers who have snubbed her for a street circuit in Adelaide :cool:
 
Im in Thailand Q so 3 hours behind.
Besides that, even if in west Oz I dont have TV or Sat reception where I live so my limited TV viewing comes via internet, and I wouldn't give my money to Kayo/Fox sports cause Murdoch is a cunt.
I watch all the MotoGP by downloading it so I have to wait for someone to record it then upload it for me to download so I dont get to see it live.
I usually download the English TNT coverage as I like Neil Hodgson, Michael Laverty and Sylvan Guintolli's take on it.
Anyway getting back to the race,
That Sprint was probably one of the best this year till Martin lost it.
He was seriously pushing it and MM was so much more in control.
 
as far a I understand the tv report, it is all postponed due to rainy conditions, I know from Melbourne- four saisons in one day!

FFS, I bought a bunch of beers, red wine and intended to vege out and watch the racing …, watching rain falling on the TV doesn’t have the same effect on me.
