With no event at Mecca next year, has anyone got any good Ducati-related holiday ideas? Go to Bologna anyway is the best I can come up with so far. My 1100 Evo Supersport will be ready by then.....
Booked for the Dutch motogp but nothing else yet . Getting a bit sick of nurburgring so somthing else will have to turn up.
Are all these circuits on the 2015 motogp calendar? What about other stuff , like classic events, exhibitions?
Agree Misano was awesome this year, i went to silverstone, Assen and Valencia and the best atmosphere by far was Misano. Flew this time but would like to ride down for next years.
Ducati Club Nederland have a well attended weekend of Club Races with open paddock/pits, trade stalls with ducati speciaists and breakers selling spares/trick bits (but not particularly cheap). Trackday Friday,sells out quick, practice Saturday, about 20 races Sunday with all classes of ducati and european bikes. Usually in May and a good place to stay is Groningen 20 miles up the road which has all the Dutch attractions.
Ducati Club Nederland - Ducaticlubrace GB 2014 Dates for 2015 are decided after all the major race calendars are confirmed. Keep eye on their website crimbo/new year. Bike park is like a mini WDW. Loads of modded and tricked up dukes.
You need to give yourself at least 4 days to get there on a bike. We rode down this year in 4 days and to be honest it doesn't give you much time for anything else.
The Assen event is worth going to, especially if you want to check out a few old parts stalls and know what you want. Also tends to have plenty of exotica. Been a few times, raced once, although last years (or was it the year before?!) was a bit light on paddock content and the rain and cold kept peolpe away
Their Facebook page says "last weekend of May" - by which I would assume they mean 30-31st. Just wanted to confirm. I fancy going in 2015. How long does the journey take @bradders? I need to be back in London for work on the Monday :-(
You're a bit farther than me! We left about 2 on Friday tunnel, were at hotel for 7, left Sunday about 3 and home by 10. I had to drop peolpe off too as I drove and that added an hour easy, probably more
