Anyone else biking it to Le Mans ?

We were planning a bike trip this year, but several (including me) have chickened out and now we have 3 cars and 3 bikes going, which is probably a good compromise as the cars can help carry the bike gear.

Although we wouldn't dream of racing down there (tee hee), I'm sure there will be some friendly rivalry.

Cars are Porsche 911, Lotus Elan, BMW328
Bikes are R6, VFR750, SV650

Any bets on a winning team ?

Went last year on my CBR600 and got absolutly Soaked.
Made it all the way back home straight after the race,i live 50 miles north of london,was absolutly shattered but it was good fun doing 150 on the autoroute in the pi$$ing rain and would do it again in the future but takin my Griffith this year.
France certainly has the roads for bikes,no pot holes,no traffic,loads of sticky tarmac and most of loads of twisties
