    Well the next big forum outing is to support Team After Dark at they race in the Ducati 848 challenge in Hooland at the famous Assen circuit.

    Basic Plan:

    Ride down and catch Ferry on the Friday
    Watch the racing, drink beer, act stupid on Sat/Sun
    Back on the Monday

    So Far we have :
    Radar
    Katana
    Ses310
    Champs
    and strong interest from a few other notably Thumper and our ‘Great Leader’ Imperial Data

    Anybody is interested please put your name down

    We will ned a little meet over Christmas to sort out details…I can feel beer and curry coming on!

    Yep i’m up for it. I’ve been checking out nearby farmhouses to rent such as these:

    (this one looks like a big shed, is “Partly insulated”, will sleep 11, 20KM from the circuit and is £240 for the weekend – PERFECT!)

    Good idea Kat.

    I will try and set up the plan meet/beer/curry early in the new year

    I am under the impression there’s a Ducati weekend thing on at Assen at the same time. I maybe wrong and lying to you all.

    If there is, is it worth planning this fairly early as all accomodation may run out!

    Either way, I like this one https://www.holiday-rentals.co.uk/p475152

    That one that looks like a big shed also looks like a doctors waiting room in the lounge.

    Good tip on the Ducati weekend.

    Like the accomodation, there is even a lake to keep the Hondas in…

    The Ducati Weekend is at the other European round in Misano in June. So we should be relatively OK accomodation wise, but it would still be an idea to get it sorted sooner then later.

    33e Ducati Clubrace 11, 12 en 13 mei 2012

    Haal je agenda voor 2012 maar voor de dag. De datum van de Ducat Clubrace 2012 staat vast: 11, 12 en 13 mei is het weer zover, dan zal het zinderende,  Ducati geweld weer losbarsten op het TT-circuit in Assen.

    Volgens de bekende en beproefde formule zal dit weekend georganiseerd worden, en alle klassen die we gewend zijn zullen aan de start te zien zijn. Er zullen wat aanpassingen aan reglementen, klassensamenstellingen en andere zaken doorgevoerd worden met het doel om het evenement nog beter te maken.

    Zodra meer details bekend zijn, worden ze bekend gemaakt.

    Reserveer nu eerst maar het 2e weekend in mei in je agenda als aanwezig in Assen!

    Its going to be great to have you all come along. Its the Ducati club race weekend and I’m reliably informed that its a real scream. Looks like the saturday evening bbq could be busy!!!!!! We are hoping that Fretless will be there with us aswell.

    Cheers Tim – there’s a few others from work who are interested as well

    Champs – I see what you mean now. It’s the Dutch Ducati Club weekend so should be busy but not REALLY busy.

    I’m glad thats what all that meant. My Dutch isn’t the best. I understood ‘Ducati Club Race’ and ’11, 12 and 13 May 2012′!

    Either for me, doesn’t make much difference
