    Good stuff Glen! Gotta agree that I reckon with all the starts aligned, you'd smash 'em bro! Hard to get to that point, but you've obviously got the attitude to make it happen.

    Personally I reckon you should up and move to Melbourne. Talking to my mate there whose boyfriend works in the docks leads me to believe that someone like you could earn enough over there to support yourself and race competitively in 600's right now.

    Anyway, catch you at the Tri-Series

    Well done Glen.........unfornuanately luck plays far to big a part in this racing game.
    Im sure you gained a good insight into the upper levels of our sport......... its a big leap eh.
    having been involved with international motorcycle racing in Europe for a few years i can say that with confidence.
    All things aside a great effort from yourself and all your sponsors & supporters. Looking forward to seeing you at the Nats.
    Good luck.

    Enjoyed that report and sharing your frustration with yourself and the weather.

    Keep at it mate you'll go far!!

    Well done Glen, it's a huge step up from the racing here, you'll go well when you get yourself back there for another crack at them!

    Good to see you've got your priorities straight

    That because everything else was taken and no one wanted that bike...

    Just yanking your chain, it was all that ended up avaliable, would have much much much prefered to be on my Suzuki over there, it would have been so much more suited to the track.

    While I was there I got to check out the 2011 Suzuki GSX-R 600 which looks awesome, it's going to dominate!
