    Had a look at Hampton Downs this afternoon

    Met up to do a job for Darren at the Superbike School and had a drive around some of the circuit. The first black top is just being laid and tested.

    It's going to be pretty speccy complex when it's all done.

    The waiting:

    I went past there in a bus a couple of weeks ago and thought it was a subdivision without any houses. Wasn't until we got to the garages and I saw the signs that I realised. I had been thinking it looked good for a Bucket Race. Looks like alot of fun, hope I get to race on it!

    What you reckon Dave? Will the general public get an opportunity to ride on it this year? Was hoping to go down for a recky last Sunday but the weather wasn't up for it.

    You can head around to the side closest to the dump and get a good look at turn 1 and turn 2 on the short track. It's going to be riding off a farken cliff. Can't wait

    It would 'appear' so. But it could do 40 days and 40 nights. Everybody concerned is toungin' for the opening - I know that much.

    And they are a really nice crew of people too.

    What's with the stock cans on the hire bikes, we won't even be able to hear the buggers sneakin' up on us. When it comes to zorsts, stock is not an option.

    If you want to buy me 14 cans and donate them to the cause, I will gladly accept.
    Every motorcycle handles perfectly. Then the rider gets on.

    First Hampton Downs Ride Day will be the 8th October followed by the 9th October. Back to back if your man enough.

    I have been assured that it will be ready.
