The 2006 Cannonball Bike Run, Mick Doohan's Account

09 September 2006

As I was at Nurburgring the previous weekend i was already halfway there. I left the Ring at 12:30pm and headed off on the 185 mile journey, the skies were grey and the trip uneventful until I got into Wurzburg and decided to fill up which would mean a full tank for the start of the "rally" where I bumped into Rolf an entrant from last year on his same bike, V-Max. The hotel is at the top of a big hill overlooking the town below where we can watch the bikes arriving. On arrival all of the foreign contingent have arrived, 4 Danes, 4 Finns, 1 Belgian and 1 Dutch, the rest of the riders all hailing from England and Wales and Scotland.
