Tickety Boo

Received my Austrian MotoGP ticket today. I've gone for a grandstand seat on the start/finish straight. Looks like I'll be seated ahead of the finish line, so should get a good view of any last corner shenanigans.

Adios Spain, Austria here I come

Fresh or maybe not so, from my Wild Hogs tour with Grizzly to Portugal & Spain, my attention is turned to my next trip, which starts on 7th August. For that, Ginny and I are heading for Austria and the Red Bull Ring, to watch the MotoGP races. This will be my second of three trips this year, to see the top motorcycle racers on the planet in action. In September I'm heading back to Spain and the round at the Aragon circuit, Alcaniz, near Zaragoza.

Between now and 7th, I shall be getting the hose out to give Ginny a clean. She's covered in muck from the rain sodden day we had on the Whespana tour. I know Grizzly had the Shadslow cleaned the day after he got home but as the sun has been out since I got back, I'm waiting till it clouds over, to avoid the dirty streaks that occur as the sun dries the water on the bodywork, seconds after you've sponged it. Maybe tomorrow. I've got time.

I'm only away for a week this time, so I shan't need to pack so much clobber, which also lightens the load on Ginny. The washing is all done from the tour anyway, so no shortage of jocks, as Grizzly calls them and certainly no need to turn them inside out! 😄 I will need to pop down and get some more euros though, as the hotel I'm staying in, in Austria, only takes cash! Hello, it's 2019! Apart from that I'm ready to go. Roll on the 7th.
