    I will be there. Unless it rains in which case I won't because I am a pussy. Nah I will probably turn up regardless of what the weather is doing, but last time the tyres weren't so friendly to me at the end of the day in the wet.

    I think your tyers are ok its your front end that needs attention. I would be on the lookout for some new forks. You should put the word out you may be able to get some standard FXR forks cheap from someone that has done a GXR front end conversion. They looked like they were pissing oil.

    Yeah they are pretty stuffed I suppose. I will be working on the suspension asap but I am really really stoked with my tyres now that the suspension doesn't bother me as much. That front tyre has given me heaps of confidence so I am looking forward to pushing it at slipway. Although I think my bent front disc may have been packing up at the end of the endurance yesterday. Was shaking under heaving braking. I thought it was getting better. Hmm.

    Am Looking forward to it. Am just rebuilding my forks as they had developed the properties of a pair of pogo sticks on steroids. I wonder if my daughters will manage a sub 2 minute lap this time, oh, and get the feet up and legs in. I have kitted my older one out with motocross body protection and top. And I may be even able to finally get my fifty up and running, it's running will very much depend on me being able to get my forks sorted out before Saturday.
    Yes 4 strokes are for homos. Homo-sapiens that is, who have realized bigger is better.

    Will we need a code for the gate?

    Heaps man! HEAPS! More than your body can handle if you want. Just don't end the day early by attempmting a tyre wall jump maneuver. For $35 you get your moneys worth

    You'll really enjoy it. It's not the full day at Slipway as you don't start racing til 12ish.
    By 4.30 you're starting to get knackered anyway.

    Good luck, Mudflaps !!
