I actually finished an F2 Race (& posties junior)

Mate , dont be so tuff on yaself . You havnt done more than 2 rounds in a row on the same bikes yet this year so what do you expect but be mind fucked.
Slow the changing bikes down and just get on and ride and have fun.

After 3 hours on the Kwaka at the endurance race you will be able to ride it blind .

Shit mate. He's as fast as I am, he's probably stoked. If you guys are gonna do the 3 hour I might have to pull the Jandle Wintle out of retirement and give use the learn.

[driftn]

As Paul said stick to one bike and you will get used to it really quickly. You were doing very well out there. Looking smooth and it came back in one piece which is even better.
Big ups to you mate keep at it you will get quick on it and for shit sakes DON'T 450 it.

NOOOOOOO
I didnt mean just one bike , what i meant was dont change the ones you have now .
He was on both 600s and they were streets apart in attitude but he knows thw 400 well and now all he has to do is learn the Kwaka .
To his credit hes dropped the CBR600 and opted for the 400 in posties and the Kwaka in F2 .
Now the learning can focus and he can easily ride 2 bikes in diff classes but when you chop around between bikes its very hard to get a memory for them.
The only person i know that could ride diff bikes in diff classes at the same meeting was Rob Holden , and he rode 5 diff bikes at one meeting lol .

Paul.

Ahh I see said the blind man to his deaf dog... which wasn't really listening.

How did you get to be so wise?

Would that be about 1992/3??

One was even a Harley 883! The only guy to pick one up by himself that day... and i think he still won!

Might have been a different time though.

Was about then i spose..... Rg250 , GSX550 , GSX750, Katana1000,
GSX1100F1.

Rob was built with a tuff little stature and im sure he could pick any bike up that hadnt just broken his body too badly lol.

[driftn]

Fuckin turncoat

Is that an invitation young fella?

Na, that looks like about 7 years earlier......
The day's I was thinking of it would be more like Ducati (851/888??) etc...

Yes, I do remember being on the Flag Point at Dunlop, and Robert went down while in the lead.... We stuck out the yellow flag and I said something like, "That is going to be difficult for us to pick up..."
Next thing I know Robert has it back upright and was heading toward the start/finish!!

Actually I think it was a BEARS meeting???
I think he just went in EVERY class because he could....

Nice one Steevie, sorry I couldnt stay for long but that family thing gets me every time.
Here are some pics I got sitting in the grandstands with Paige.

Good stuff scracha.

You obviously went to the wrong Indian... There is a better one a hundred meters down the road...

Last time we had "Mirrch Masala" 164 Albert St and I got introduced to Lamb Saag lucky for me they passed his UK taste standards other than it was a little processed for him. But he's never happy .... ahhy Steevie

There's nowt much better than a good curry and pint of lager.
There's nowt much worse than a shit curry and handle off pissy tasting beer.

Thanks for the photo's Nick. Always good to have a shot with Clive miles behind me*
