Given the thread just up there, and given that swmbo has been asking
for three years now, which motogp should I take her to this year?

I've been watching from said armchair for years, and I tend to agree
with Antonye in that I reckon it's going to be a better view, cheaper
beer and a little less crowded from there, but she has her heart set
on a trip outside.

Given Bear's comment that "both silverstone and donington are **** and
I should go abroad" and that Europe is as far as I can afford, which
is the best one for:
ease of access,
good views,
not too pricey?

Is it really worth it to go to a live one? Over to the foak.

I've heard Assen can be good.

If it was me, I'd go to somewhere where they do it properly - one
of the Italian or Spanish rounds would be your best bet. Make a
week of it and get some sun in at the same time?

Mugello.

the access is ****, but that shouldn't put you off.

The racing was ok but it was the thuings like engines on crates,
bursting into flames and rolling down the hillside that really made it
for me. And rev limiters being used as a musical instrument.

The point of going live is for the atmosphere. For that, Assen is good
because it's "easy". Otherwise it would have to be Mugello, Jerez or
Valencia.

Book early to avoid disappointment.
