    Funny I was just thinking about Roys Hill last night as I didn't get to go last time the Welly crew came up and I'm keen to try the track. Will have to try to rally the Welly crew to do another trip up before it gets too hot and everyone melts. Won't be this weekend, but keep posting up the details for us and we'll try and get there soon.

    Agree with Trudes, we had a ball last time when we were up in Feb.
    Track was cool,...everything else was WICKEDLY HOT as in Holy Hell, I'm burning and drinking 3 litres of water an hour just to stay alive !!!

    F5 Dave may have a different opinion.....

    Yeah wasn't really gelled with the track as I crashed on ~ the 4th lap, but it did have some good bits, like over the hill.

    . . .Tarmac is pretty hard.
    it has taken 6 months from riding a bike from me.

    Yeah go give it a go. I won't be bitter.
    Don't you look at my accountant.
    He's the only one I've got.

    Here's a few more pic's. The aftermath of losing the front end on the last corner.

    Noid, turning up with a bike usually makes you competitive! Hopefully we'll see you next time and have our fxr into our rolling chassis by next time, or put some more tyres onto another drz125.
