Tearing Choppa a new A'Hole
Went and watched one of the sessions, ol' Zed was giving a few guys on race bikes the learn. Caught up with Swanman and Firefight, watched Drunken Monkey with the shuddery front end giving it a good nudge.
Next week, c'mon ya bastard, BE FINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yep, that's me!
Well, the guys looked like they were having a blast when I stopped by. I took a few photos but managed to delete the really good ones of Motobob (sorry Paul). So I'm afraid my photography skills were pretty bad today. I've been trying to attach the photos for the past two hours and the site is so slow it won't let me do it
So, sorry guys, I'll try again another time...

What another fantastic days riding!!
Weather conditions were superlative, and the track was in great nick, well until a cage splattered oil on the hairpin just before our last session of the day. Unfortunately one of the bikes took a slide in it but he was able to ride home so the damage wasn't very serious.
I counted only 8 bikes out there today but it turned out to be a good sized group all with a similar skill level (KBers were Motobob, Drunken Monkey, & myself), everyone rode well and kept their lines with only two guys riding on to the grass at Jennian Homes corner. We managed to get in four good sessions, however the last session was ruined a bit because of the oil spill.
I had value for money after my 2nd session of the day I felt...it was just such a birthday buzz!
Good to see some KBers making an effort to come down to watch & support, it made it more enjoyable. Thanks for coming down Keystone, Firefight, Trashman, Riff Raff, Stifarms, Swanman, Death & Taxes.
I hope next weeks track day is just as good for you who are going, unfortunately I'll be working (only one birthday holiday a year) so won't be present.

Hi Guys an Keystone.
Two bins in 2 weeks. I think I ,m gonna have to go back to riding school to relearn to ride. Couldn't believe it when I caught the oil an the rest didn't. It is a hard way to learn that one must check the surface after the cages have been out. I was having a good time too and starting to get some of the old confidence back. Anyway hope to get the mini beast to a more serviceable condition ( including the trainer wheels) and with luck hopefully out there next Friday.
Anyway good to meet up with Zed, Alan and I forgot the name of his mate
Keystone as the guys said you can get some good pics down at the hairpin. I only do one show daily where the CBR and I do the horizontal two step. Hopefully that was our final show.
Motobob
One hell of a ride.
Anyway good to meet up with Zed, Alan and I forgot the name of his mate
That's Dave the Tax Rat.
Yep, that's me!
Oh no, I can't believe you binned again!Hi Guys an Keystone.

With a bit of luck I'll catch you on the hairpins next Friday actually on the bike!

Here are your photos Keystone. You'll have to reduce the size photo your camera is taking cos they were humungous!!Well, the guys looked like they were having a blast when I stopped by. I took a few photos but managed to delete the really good ones of Motobob (sorry Paul). So I'm afraid my photography skills were pretty bad today. I've been trying to attach the photos for the past two hours and the site is so slow it won't let me do it

Yep, that's me!
Thanks Matt! How do I reduce the photo size on my camera?

Yep, that's me!

There will be an option to change the settings on it somewere. Have a tutu round and look at the menu options on the camera's digital display.
Yep, that's me!
Thanks! I'll have a look. Will get some more practice next Friday hopefully! It's darn difficult trying to actually get bikes in the picture. I must have deleted about 10 empty pictures. You guys were just going too fast!

Results are as follows:...I'm keen to find out the real top speed and braking power of this thing, not to mention practising my wheelies - hope nothing breaks!
Excellent dual braking system, coming down to the end of the back straight I could leave it until the 100m mark before hitting the picks as well as engine braking to safely get around the hairpin. Slows down real quick in other words.
Disappointing top speed, could only manage a speedo indicated 280kmph down the back straight nearly redlining every gear!I need a GSXR1000...
