I felt it in my old rickety bones a few weeks before that it was gonna be a wet one last weekend, so for some reason I was fairly prepared for it, it helped that I saw the motogp a few weeks before when they raced in the wet, I watched the race over and over again and learned a few little tricks from the really big boys..

We set up camp in our usual shed on the Friday, ready for testing, but with my new shiny machine, I really didn’t want to test, I didn’t see any need to really apart form seing if the bike was running normally and everything worked as it should,
so I went out for about three laps, and all seemed fine.


Old Dodgy’ Trashie, Gareth, Lisa and Aria and Tim and myself (including Jimmys sponsors) went out for an interesting night. “one” that will remain in my memory banks for some time to come” I will not elaborate any further.!!!!J

Following day came along and we all got up nice and early to get to the track,
Did some scrub in on my wets and was good to goJ

Qualifying superbike,

I qualified about 12 th I think .. thought I did better but there ya go..

Race oneJ

I had mentally prepared and got off to a wicked start about 6 th or 7 th in the first turn,
Managed to hang on to trashie and actually started gaining until my visor started fogging, it made for some uncomfortable turns in the last few laps, finished 7 th

Race twoJ
Started not so good, ended up behind toast in the first turn, then even though I drilled some holes in my visor, shit got really bad.. after the first lap cos I was riding blind, i thought about packing it in.. then sam crashed…
Ended up in pit lane, thinking “fuck this visor,!!
We all went out again I started really good, toast in front of me missed a gear so was able to shoot past him, ended up about 5 th in the turn with glen going round me on his 250 (wicked riding dude, right then I had a mental note to sponsor you when I finally give this shit up as im sure in time to come you will end up in superbike or even motogp)
Anyways I digress….
My visor started givin me muchoo grief after two odd laps, through turns I managed to lift it every now and again to clear it, but I lost valuable seconds doing so,and ended up 6 th.

All in all good racing a the bike is till nice and shiny, many thanks to gareth and lisa for heleping out,
A big thanks to LG for the giveaways (and dove) and scott electrical for your support
Looking forward to next timeJ
Ps big thanks to brett (quasi) for taking awesome shots, I owe ya man..J

also Mr taylor,without you my setup would have been non exsistent, i thank you dearly:) anyone considering suspension i stronly recommend you speak to robert do NOT skimp and save and take short cuts on this part of the bike set up!!!!

ofcourse Vic club/ in particular Bloody mad woman" for making it through a testing time thank you for your continued efforts, and lastly the marshalls that have to sit there through out all this in the cold, i hope you get this thanks,

fuck im starting to sound like im at the emmy awards or some shit.....

Not bad at all considering you couldn't see. You're a muppet for pulling that anti-fog insert out though. Well done taming that beast in the wet!

The bike is looking great man, and my daughter loved her freebies. F2 and F1 are going to be wild when we have a dry meeting. Fingers crossed for the longtrack.
