Hiya Chop, good onya son!

Hey, doubt it'll tie in with my roster but what rounds are you considering? I was gonna PM but thought others might be interested in actual dates too.

D grade ya reckon? Nothing lower....like G or sumthin'?

Nah, seriously, even if only most of the rounds line up with work I'd be keen. I've done Barbagallo (Wanneroo) in a former life but would fuggin' love to tick off a few more....and I already fly through Darwin and Sydney so ya never know.......

Pity they don't still race at Lakeside. I raced my RS250 there a few times...it was fucking awesome! To this day the best track I've ridden...if a bit dangerous.

It was fucking cool mate! Up through the carousel was fun...and the Southern Loop real good but tricky. The right hander coming out on to the front straight was my fav...until I went from 2nd into 1st thinking I was changing into 3rd! 1st and last time I got an upside down gearbox pattern wrong.

I watched Matt Mladin give Anthony Gobert a hiding there in Superbike. He was the only guy that went through the kink on the front straight full noise without backing off. Even Goberts team were watching in disbelief and shaking their heads lap after lap.

Made me realise that as fast as I thought I was...I was dreaming!

Couldn't find a good bike clip...and you can never capture the elevation changes on screen.

You would have a shit load of fun man!! Dates will be march - october.

They havnt released actual dates yet but you can look at this years dates to give you an idea. We would just do the rounds at Phillip Island, Broadford, Eastern Creek, Queensland

**Crasherfromwayback** · 3rd August 2010, 21:49

Do it people! I would've given my right nut to have raced at Eastern Creek and Phillip Island!

**RG Racer 123** · 7th August 2010, 21:52

Is there any class that would suit a pro twin?

**CHOPPA** · 8th August 2010, 00:32

Na sorry mate just 600 1000s and 125s

Here's what I'd be looking at doing Chop. Rent or hire a 20' container from Royal Wolf or similar, I can't remeber the prices but it's surprizingly cheap. Do a bit of work to convert it into a bike transporter, add benchs, lights and stuff. Then pack it all up with the tools. evrything and ship it. Once it arrives on the west island, you just use it as your pits and get it delivered from track to track by swing lift.

If ya spent some time on it, it could be fricken awesome.

Freight for a 20' would be about 2K each way I reckon.

Thats the beauty of ASBK at the moment, Viking Group (transport and logistics) are the principal sponsors. Even without your own container they'll transport your bike between rounds. Transport will never be cheaper than it is at the moment.
