    I manage a Liquor Store in Cowes the main town on the island....The summer season has just finished so its been full on for the last 2 months,time to chill :cool:,the circuit is 2minutes from my house:)I do at least 6 track days a year....I ride past it almost every day of my life,but never take it for granted!!!!
    If i dont go for an arvo ride i go surfing,great place to live, population approx 7000 people,very laid back lifestyle....Will see if i can learn to operate my wives camera rather than my iphone and get some decent shots!!!;)

    I know the plac fairly well, used to live in melbourne and have traveled down a few times.... like you said great laid back place, I wouldn't mind it my self, but too cold for me ;) would remind me of living in belgium :D :D... I'll be off to the sunny coast or somewhere around, hervey bay, anywhere up north in a few years....

    get some pics up when you do!

    7000? That would make about one takeaway eatery for every 5 people over there :D
    Rusty's brewery is one of my favourite refuelling points there and Di Capri's pizza are sublime!

    You are dead right about takeaway places :I supply Rustys Brewery with some of their craft beers. Isola De Capri make the best pizza & italian food,Rossi lives at the joint,you can find him and most of the other italians there practically every night they are in town.:D
    I am just about to take off to the track now,will take some photos(i am a crap photographer:rolleyes:) and post them up tonight
