Tickets to the whole MotoGP weekend in Portimao 22-24th April.
After the disappointment of Brno 2020 being cancelled and then the Portimao trackday being a non starter, this makes be very happy.

Six of the Wiltshire contingent flying out of Bristol on the Thursday morning and retuning the following Monday :bblonde: :bblonde:

Just bought 2 litre bottles of posh 2-stroke oil.
Bleedin" €25 a go, which stings a bit. But they're both running superbly, so it's money we'll spent.

Gig tickets for a Monday night at £175 a pop :o :lol:

Still, its a band I've wanted to see for years. I've come close a few times but the stars have never quite aligned. As my mum always says "you can't take it with you".
