Me and Boy Wonder (MTB) will be there Saturday and Sunday, weather looks to be brilliant all weekend.
Jake Dixon shocked everyone with his double last year, can't see him having it so easy this time round.
I've got a sneaky feeling Danny Buchan could come good and if not get a win, certainly get on the podium.

I'll probably pop down for Sunday. Is Knockhill any good? Whats the seating/spectating like?
The facilities at Knockhill are pretty good these days, there's spectating areas all round the track with benches at the top of the banking and also a couple of grandstands, you'll have to get there early to grab a seat though, I expect it to be heaving on the Sunday.airsafari87 said:

I'm going to put my neck out and go for a Mossy win.
I'll wave you better wave back.I'm going to put my neck out and go for a Mossy win.
I echo the comments of getting there early as my Dad says, Saturday is very quiet Sunday is rent a riot, I'm taking my deck chairs and the skoda. fk walking about in bike gear all day. That said I'm 30 minutes drive from the circuit.
My Dad even has sunscreen for this weekend, seeing as every year I end up burnt as fk I should put it on but its the only time of year I get people ask me on Monday if I'm just back from my holidays. "no" Ahhh knockhill tan, the only place you can get burnt whilst its raining.

Do you have tickets for pillion laps as well?I echo the comments of getting there early as my Dad says, Saturday is very quiet Sunday is rent a riot, I'm taking my deck chairs and the skoda. fk walking about in bike gear all day. That said I'm 30 minutes drive from the circuit.

My son who is 16 will be taking one of the tickets, and if my missus can get in to my leathers I might let her have the other ticket. I am a s*it pillion to be honest, I'm not a huge fan of being on the back of bikes, plus I get to ride a quick bike day in day out, whereas those 2 will never have really experienced anything quite as quick and adrenaline filled as I tend to take it reasonably steady when I have them on the bike with me.
I was planning on getting to the circuit for around 8am on Sunday. To early or too late? I'll be in the car due to their being the 3 of us going.
We are staying in some Yurt in Linlithgow?? Which is only about an hour away from the circuit I gather?
I've bought the cheapest sun tan lotion Superdrug had, £3.50 for about a litre ??
Will do the trick.
Linlithgow is about three quarters of an hour from Knockhill, take the M9 and head north it is signposted Kincardine Bridge but take the Clackmannan Bridge to cross the river, it's about 20 minutes from there.
8 o'clock is a good time for the Sunday, that's when me and MTB are heading up, can have a wander about when the watch ups are on.

Taylor McKenzie left Moto Rapido this am....! ? Bit odd.

Naill was on the circuit radio just before or just after quali and apparently Taylor and the team had sat down after FP3 and he announced that he wasn't really up to the task in hand?
Split was amicable by all accounts and he's hoping to be back on another bike again soon? I guess a non factory bike and without pressure to perform?
I did think the timing of the announcement was pretty strange though.

Just watched the two BSB races, will catch up with the rest later.
How the hell Dixon held onto that towards the end of race 2 is anyone’s guess. Mental.
Is that what set his airbags off? We didn't get home till late last night so I never got chance to watch the races again.How the hell Dixon held onto that towards the end of race 2 is anyone’s guess. Mental.
I was in pit lane watching race 1, so missed his incident. We were stood directly in front of where they pull up in parc ferme after the race finished and I noticed his suit had inflated, but I just assumed that was from him banging on the tank as he came in?

The incident was in race 2 and it was some moment
I've just remembered.
Did anyone else notice Gordon Shedden directing traffic out of the circuit?
We left straight after the 2nd BSB race and there was Shedden directing traffic out of the circuit. I was quite surprised to see him doing that, but impressed that he was at the same time.
