    Two weeks to go, long track, 2 days

    14 F1
    8 F2 + (6 Bears)

    Looks like another top ten finish in F2
    C'mon folk don't worry about missing round one you can still be in the points as one round will be dropped anyway
    I dont know about you Wharfy, but i'm sure excited to get back on the track... my first time racing since Wanganui!!!!

    so who else is going for a play?

An ozzy season is on the cards and one day id like to have a play around in AMA really just to say I did.

    NZs best chance is Nixon Frost id say, but he is still just a tad young...
    Farkin' good onya mate! In an age when everyone has ramped back there sponsorship and/or racing programs you've pulled together a great effort, stepped outside the comfort zone and just had a red hot go.

    This year will be harder! I dont want to go backwards and with the tools I need to beat Stroud and co I have to personally bring another $20k sponsorship in this year

    I agree Shaun. I think I still have a good relationship with Tom and I certainly didnt burn any bridges with them. I told them before I got the BMW and asked if they were interested in keeping me on the Suzuki.

    Honda seem to be the only other manufacturer that makes an effort

    Yes! Looking forward to the long track for sure!

    Time to log off Kiwi Biker and go bleed the brakes, polish the muffler and kick the tyres!

    Id say we spent the most but we had to pay retail for the bike so that puts the price up, those aerials that you see on Allertons bike dont come cheap.....

    Haha no they dont which is exactly why you dont see them on any bikes over here. For what they cost and what you get out of them you are far better off spending that money go testing. Well thats my thoughts anyhow

    Well done Vic Club.

    Thankyou very much to all the Club members and other volunteers who made Round 2, in my humble opinion, a complete success in difficult cirumstances.
    Absolute legends for catching up the racing from day one.
    Awesome turn around between races and excellent communication.
    The Recovery guy's were speedier than two speedy things and the Marshalls were on the ball.God Bless them for spending two days in that weather.
    You are all BOODY LEGENDS. Thanks again.
