    I need to know if Assen is like Mugello, where the bikers take over the
    town, stunting and generally having fun?

    And if they do, any pointers to exactly where would be good?

    I've been several times but always stay in Groningen (the nearest big
    town) & I've never seen any stunting going on there. Shedloads of totty
    though, thanks to the university.

    John Bex, my fellow moderator on the MV list, runs a bike motel nearby.
    I'm sure he'd be happy to help with any pointers if you emailed him &
    said I'd sent you -

    If you can hang around a few days, the Groningen music festival starts
    on the 27th. They stick up a couple of open air stages in the town
    square, & have loads of free music & cheap beer all week.

    I went in 1989, but that is so long ago I can barely remember a thing.
    There was some stuff going on in the local town, but I dunno what it
    was called.

    Sorry.

    Scotsman)

    Aye, I've discovered this. Sadly it was mayhem at Catalunya and I didn't
    go...

    I shared a flat with him, initially. They were "interesting" times :O)

    He never wanted to talk about the trip back from Assen though.

    He even said the Dutch Polis will run you off the road rather than chase a
    speeding bike.
