InvictaMoto's Devall Boys!

I had originally planned the trip to the  Assen round of BSB   as a weekend away for me and Claire in the car but since the disappointment of the MotoGP at Assen it has got a little bigger. We have Claire's hip operation hanging over us and until we get a firm date or even a hint of roughly when it will be, it is difficult to start making to many hard plans.

I was hopeful I'd be going home the next day and that we could postpone the trip across till Saturday. As luck would have it though, I was still running hot the next day, so they decided another night in hospital was required and thus the trip was scuppered. I'd booked a hotel for the trip up, so contacted Booking.com and asked to cancel and waive the cost of the room. I also messaged the hotel and explained the situation. Fair play, I was allowed to cancel free of charge and they came b
