Best season probably due to all of the above.
Will be interesting to see how next year pans out with Marc back and hopefully fit..
I’ll miss Cal and Dovi.
We'll miss both of them. I used to be bored by Dovi, but grew to like him.
A couple of years ago I looked at the possibility of doing a track day at Portimao, but the track wasn't as close to the town as I had thought, so my wife would have got bored, or lonely. I did my last track day last year at 70, but watching the racing I have an awful itch to do just one more, at Portimao*. Probably not a good idea, but a holiday and watching a race there might be possible. If holidays are ever possible again.
* It has been compared to Cadwell Park, my favourite UK track to ride.
There's always the British MZ Racing Club if you fancy a go. You might be going more towards 100mph than 150 when ringing its neck but you'll be enjoying yourself too much to notice.Great season.
The Moto3 race was fantastic today , we were screaming. Ringing about 150 mph out of a 250 single is ace, I would love a go.

Sorry to hear that. Hope you’re managing your injuries without a catastrophic impact on your quality of life.Thanks, but my riding days ended with a T-boned bike and body over a decade ago. I am not fit to try and get on a bike never mind ride . Wife would kill me as well.
(brain damage, wrist that doesn’t bend much, useless knee and a few more broken bits)
Hope you’re managing your injuries without a catastrophic impact on your quality of life.
Sorry to hear that. My thoughts are with you.!
My injuries destroyed my quality of life.
Ended my Nursing career instantly.
Stopped my life long sport/hobby/second career choice.
It imposes restrictions on every aspect of my life, and loads my Wife with more responsibilities than she should have in an equal relationship.
@ks.234 Why do you think I am on pfm soo much? If I wasn’t disabled, pfm would be an occasional visit.
Sorry to sound pissy, but catastrophic is exactly what it was and is.
And if anyone says ‘you are lucky to be alive,’ I will punch them in the pigging face.
and relax...
@Big Tabs sorry to hear that. Glad you can still take pleasure from watching the bikes though. All the best.
Sorry to hear that. My thoughts are with you.
At least you have the ear of people who can empathise. I regret selling every single bike that I have owned (apart from maybe the CBR600 with white wheels and dreadful colours). Perhaps the biggest regret is selling a mint RD400 for £600 in 1997. I got a speeding notice through the door shortly after the sale. Can't remember the speed but it was impressive in Central London.I sold my beautiful VFR, that I had spent many pounds on getting ‘just right.’ Gave it away for £500 just to get rid. The pipe was worth more than that on its own...
ignore me, I am just being maudlin.
