Agree completely - Brands would be great.
Cadwell.....watching them over the Jump on the back stretch would be an awesome site, they would need to do twice as many laps though as they would rocket round it....
My wish list is to see Moto GP 5 lap race on the Isle of Man...

My Dad was in the Army - he came out (of the army not the closet

) 20 years ago and decided to settle in Kirton... I kept the itchy feet from moving every few years, so now living in the south....
My bruv lives in Scunny down Scotter Bottom (Scunny is a lovely place isn't it!)
The B1398 that runs parralel to the A15 from Lincoln through Kirton to Scunny and the A631 from Gainsborough to Louth are two roads both me and my bike miss dearly....
Too many cameras down here
