Hi team, I have been working with Andrew Stroud in Australia @ Eastern creek for the first round of the Aussie superbikes, it was a bit of a last minute deal, and we went along with no expectations.

We arrived in Sydney on Tuesday morning and went about collecting a loaner vehicle, going to customs to collect a pallet of parts that had been air frieghted in advanve, and then to Action Suzuki in Parramata to collect a brand new in a crate GSXR1000 K6 Suzuki, and then heading off to a friends house,by time all this was completed it was 7pm Tuesday night, after the formalities of GIDDAY mate, we had a beer, (as you do) and then I completely pulled the new machine apart ( woops I forgot, we run it in as well 23 km's only) had a piece of toast and a can of bake beans and went to sleep.:buggerd:

5-30 am Wedensday morning the motor building work began, by time the head work was done, cams fitted and dialed in it was about 1-30 am Thursday morning, bugger, forgot to eat today and had another can of beans ( lucky my wife was not in bed with me over these few days) and went to bed to collapse.

Thursday morning 6am all is well:banana: Got started on fitting out the chassis, regreasing stearing head bearings and tensioning, regreasing all linkage joints, drilling and lock wiring all bolts for the chassis, fitting up his race shock and forks and stearing dampner, braiden lines and brake fluid flush, and then fitting the engine back in, replacing standard wiring loom for a race item and a Yoshimura eprom ignition box ( ECU), Yoshi TIE pipe, doing the plumming work, adding some fluids and firing it up at approx 9-30 pm Thursday night, then loading up the van with bike, tools ( Which I brought over in a brief case the sice 600x300x100 ( Who needs a $5000 snap on box)

Friday morning up again at 6-30 to get to the track in time for Andrew to make it to riders briefing ( ON TIME ha ha) unload the van into our pit garage, put tyre warmers on and weight for kick off to begin.

That's enough for now, just realsied that I am very tired and should go to sleep, O the result, the Aussies know a KIWI is coming! 9th and 7th place puts Andrew Stroud ( SUPERBIKE NEW ZEALAND) in 6th place over all in the points.

Trust me when I say, we went to a gun fight with a pop gun, we checked them out, we know what we must do from now on, and we will be doing it, Andrew did us proud.

See you all in the soup, or Taupo.:2thumbsup

Awesome stuff Shaun!

Sounds like alot of work, but hey........ At least you get to rip apart a brand new bike. I'm so jealous! Let me know if you're swinging off fairing spares.
Goodluck to you and Andrew, hope all goes well. Keep us posted.

Can't wait for the second part of this report. 23ks is not enough running in time is it? Did you end up sticking in an older motor to go faster?

Thats an awesome result against some very good competition.

23kms is plenty to run in a brand new engine...

Yep, the www.mcnews.com.au website is great, with LIVE transcrpts as the races unfold. Having been in Oz for a few years it's been an excellent way to keep in touch with what's happening with bikes in general as well as the racing scene. It's also an interesting comparison to what's happening or, more to the point, what ISN'T happening in NZ.
