I believe Kick got me a bit of space in the pit garage, I'm not bringing much up myself apart from spare wheels and a couple bits and pieces so if the pit garage is closer to where you will be than your ute you could leave stuff next to my bike?

This is old, but the track hasnt changed, apart from rounding off the transition from up hill to flat on the front straight, which was mega abrupt. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XlrS0R6VmoI

Yeah, that used to be a fuck off big bump to hit when you're flat out

Yep, it wrote off a Porsche, & killed a track day biker at least before it was fixed.

No it fucking didn't! A track day rider died, after losing control over the bump.

But I'd say 3rd gear (I'm geared high), and at least 2 sets of gearboxes on the 1300......

Is it curved??? It took 2.5 minutes to do the front straight on the BMW, so I thought it was just straight...................

Curved eh?? Gordy should be able to find Kicks G-Spot then.................
