  1. It'll sparkle in the Sunshine Andy ;)
     
  2. I'll be there with the Superleggra but there no way she's going out in the rain.

    Never done Donington so am really hoping the forecast changes!!!

  5. I'll be there, in inters....for the sighting lap(s) ;)
     
  6. Inters for me but no idea which garage
    Its far too early to reliably forecast so fingers crossed at the moment

  7. I'm wavering, as things have turned out I now need a hire bike and hire car and with the day itself it's probably going to cost £500 or so......most expensive bacon butties and coffee ever?

    Going to try and leave it as late as possible to confirm I think, but I'll be around wobbling in the novice group should I make it.
     
  8. Ok, I'm definitely out....bike is not going to make it and there are no hire bikes available. Gutted

    *edit* Ok....now I'm half way in again :/ CSS have just called, pulled a rabbit out of the hat and managed to get me an 899, unfortunately I need to get hold of my dealer and tell them I will actually be there now and don't sell that place! Hahaha, drama!

  9. If it's dry I am there for sure, but forecast at the moment looks dire. Will take a view tomorrow afternoon when it's time to load up as I have to drive up and stay over. If weather forecast still awful, will give it a miss. Done Dony twice in heavy rain already and kept it upright. Quit whilst you are ahead etc.....

  10. I'll be there on the 748R and will be going out whatever.. Kinda hoping for some sun though!
     
  11. If anyone wants my place, I am not going in this weather.

    Calling it a day gents I am afraid, it's lashing down here now and forecast to be the same again tomorrow. Might as well get some work done.

    If anyone wants my place they are welcome to it.
     
  12. Fuck me thats a very generious offer. Tempted.com

    Is the Desmo included? :upyeah:
     
  13. Metcheck looks like there may be half a chance.

    Or is it just wishful thinking after driving 5 hours to get here?
     
  14. i agree the weather reports have changed somewhat more cloudy with a shower around mid day....
     
  15. Am here now.

    Fingers crossed!
     

  16. Bloody hell that was quick

  17. Donington Park Weather: 5 Day Forecast - Met Office

    Weather forecast on the met office is for torrential rain boys..... not sure there is another version is there?

    Hard for me to spare the time away from work to just sit in the garage, or roll around at 50% on wets to avoid a massive damage bill. Have fun though.

    No desmo included in my offer Mr C, but you are welcome to the entry ticket. I don't have wets for that one either!

    Am rather bored of spending almost £200 a time trying to ride track in the UK. I have bought tickets to every Ducati UK event since that two day affair a few years back, and not a single one has been dry.
     
  18. Im off on my Jollies on Wednesday evening otherwise I would have snatched your hand off. I feel as though I have hardly spent any time at work these last few weeks with the Valencia trip and other days off!! Suppose id better show my face for a day or so before I go away lol.

    It would be a 2 hour drive for me and after last year, I dont think I could do that to myself again. I think my shoes have only just dried out.
     
  19. Just looked on Metcheck which is pretty accurate with 24 hour look ahead, looks like a dry morning with showers in the afternoon. Good luck girls and boys.
     
  20. To wet for me Anglesey Saturday me thinks
