Would that be due to the Weed ? 

Glad to see you have recovered from Belfry trip and having another low mileage weekend mate

Puh... Survived Assen and saw some good racing (a little wet though, got rain, thunder and hail all together..). I have never seen so many bike ar the same time as on the TT cirquit Parking. INSANE!!
Said goodbye to my brother and my buddy who returned to Sweden this morning and headed for Amsterdam with my daughter. Gonna meet up with the wife and Louise's boyfriend this evening, maybe watch some more football. Heading for Nurburghring on Tuesday. I have a new waypoint on my trip, a Kawasaki museum in Härkingen, Swizzerland, A must-see for me.

Hmm. You might be correct Charlie. Louise, my daughter said that she could smell some marijuana, and my swifft reply was: "and how can YOU know how marijuana smells???" kids.....
If you want a weekend with great racing and even greater partying. Assen is da shit!
Stephane, I belive you in that superbike is worth visiting as well. At least kawasaki have something going there.

I had a not so nice experience yesterday that ended me up in a german hospital.
We left Nurburghring without getting to ride the Nordschleife. Closed due to track-day activity ( learnt to read more closely and see the difference between open 5 am – 7pm, and 5 pm – 7pm  ) Followed the Mosel valley to Alf and and more southbond to get us to Baden-baden over some very nice motorcycle road. While ridin and feeling good, something flew into my helmet visor open, and went straight into my left ear and started  flapping around. PANIC! 

Managed to stop quite quick, only my wife stoping us from tipping over when I'm in panic tries to get rid of my helmet. Tries to get the damn thing out with a cotton ear top and diet coke. No success, but at least it stops moving, so I figure I killed it with the tops and the coke. Enters the autobahn and after 10-15 minutes it start again! My satnav leads me to a hospital in Kauserslautern where a sprint in full gear between buildings starts (information – ear clinic- cashier to pay – ear clinic) have to wait for ever (still with it moving around) for the very nice and cute Dr Sabine. Finaly she pulls out a over centimeter long moth (I think) out of my ear, still much alive after being there for 2 hours. Leaves hospital 100 euro poorer but oh soo happy.
Now of to swizzerland.

................But for the expenditure of £100 of your hard earned cash we would rather see photographic evidence of " the very nice and cute Dr Sabine "................

I wear the scar/deformity (well its a lump I shave around on the side of my face) of a wasp entering my Griffin Clubman at 90mph and being alive post impact to vent its anger back in the summer of 1979...............................I do understand how you must of felt with it in your ear

Sounds like you had a lucky escape....I just have one question, if it flew into your ear, how big are your bloody ears? 


That is one huge bug!!!!

That i have wondered myself. The damned thing couldn't be seen from the outside when looking into the ear, so I must have a to large helmet, very big ears and a lot of empty space inside...

Should have worn a balaclava and then the helmet!
