I would recommend you start by getting a copy of Autoroute and GPS dongle. That way you can plan your routes, journey timing and integrate your sight-seeing. It's brilliant.
Thank you all for giving Stu and I a good laugh. I have been reading and picking up ideas and tips over the last couple of months.
We have a short wish list left to get. Yesterday we purchased our Honda PCX 125 we had been looking for a large cc scooter. Our other bike is a Yahmaha FJ1200 so Stuart felt that a 125 2 up would just not be good enough. After much reading I talked him into one.
Left with reversing camera, motorhome sat nav and external silver screen.
We are newbie's when it comes to motorhomes. But have been to a number of GP races the easy way(flights, hire car and hotel-villa).
Jazzlover we would love to come to Philip Island but unfortunately I am unwell and now unable to fly. Back in 2008 I had a trip all booked Tasmaina, Philip Island, Langkawi, Kula Lumpa, Valencia). The day of our flight I was on the operating table. I still made Valencia.
As for a blog I will have to think about that one, it has taken till last week to join facebook.

I had (Until it was stolen in October) a Suzi GN125 h. easily cruised at 55 - 60 mph with 2 up.
Plus it was light enough to pop on the rack on the rear of MH
I went to the Brno GP last year, parked the motorhome on the official campsite at the circuit. I enjoyed the atmosphere of the site, didn't get much sleep though, loud music and revving of bikes until 5am!
I booked a grandstand seat, no need though as there are steep banks around the circuit to sit and get good views.
Enjoy.
redbarron thanks for the suggestion of the autoroute with GPS. Took a look and one now on its way to us thanks to good old ebay. Still going to get the sat nav(we have one for the car) as Stu would like to still know where he is going if I have to rest and not be co-pilot. Really liked the idea of being able to plan our routes whilst on the go.
bigtree I have sent you a PM
I have used the internet for years but forums, facebook, twitter, blogs all new to me, just worked out how to thank someone.
Got to go out and help as the wipers are stuck on the Frankia in the up position.
Have now got the Auto Route and its great. Means that we will be able to plan routes even if we do not have the internet. We will have Sat Nav with us. We planned to get maps of france, spain eyc, but with this will not need them now. Got all the bits we need to get the PCX on the back will see if that all goes to plan this afternoon if the rain stops.
We've just been staying on the Orbitur campsite at Guincho, about 10/15 mins drive from Estoril 'autodromo'. Got talking to the guy who manages the Eurocamp chalets there and he mentioned that they are very busy for the Moto GP. Don't know if there are extra facilities laid on for the event, but if not, Guincho is the only campsite in the area and worth booking soon. There are no aires that I know of either.
Lots to see in the area if you are sightseeing too - Caiscais is a lovely town, historic palaces at Sintra or just walks to the beach through the dunes.

OMG 3 weeks tomorrow to go before we leave for the ferry. Frankia all in bits on the drive. Son checked the clutch last week and felt that we should have it replaced before we left. He is not being paid as he owes us a couple of favors. Whilst doing this he found a turbo (that we did not know she even had) not listed on registration doc's. The bad news its not working. So he is taking it to work on Monday to get it checked out and reconditioned. The clutch delivered is faulty so another on order. She is sat up on the axel stands looking very sorry for herself. Cannot try out the silver screen I have for her. Repair the grey waste discharge. Or any of the 100 other things I feel sure I need to do before we go.
Have a brilliant trip! The only one of your list we have been to is Silverstone for the British Grand Prix a few years ago. We stayed at one of the official off-track sites with our MH and it was fab! Noisy, yes but lots of like minded people all araound (and the weather was pretty good too) We saw Lewis Hamilton in his last year in Formula 2 before he moved up and he was brilliant! Much easier watching on tv but you do miss the atmosphere!
