    Ryan, if you are taking my trailer with bike on it, you will have me as a passenger.

    I will take a 25L water barrel so gents don't worry about bringing your own drinking water. A lot of ppl get the fire brigade to rinse the bike after each race, gold coin donation.

    Program is:
    12:00p pits open. We should be there early to get one large site.
    12:15p - 1:15p Sign-in. You will have to present your helmet for inspection, and possibly your bike.
    1:25p Rider Briefing in riding gear, then practice.
    2:30p - 8:00p racing.

    There are 7 classes (combined) and it is likely we will race 4-5 times, 4-8 laps each, 60-90mins wait between races - hence the need for shade. At the end there may be an "all in race" for those willing to go out for more.

    Sh!t, we should've organised the KB banner

    Yay! this is gonna be fun. Now to go finish prepping the bike
    Cheers,
    Colin

    No worries re trailer (1 7/8 ball?) and ride. Guess about 11.15 at yours WW, meaning 11 at Padmei's and about 1130 at Willdats? Does that work?

    Unless you're running high compression it just works in your mind.

    Good enough reason for me.

    But I'll be running 91.

    I think at this stage it might be better to just turn up. I guess if Ryan, Colin & Will in the support truck are first at the bivouac then it can set out the gazebos & get the generators & lites set up.

    Red bull have called & were quite persistant that we ride under their banner. I told them I'd get back to them as Libra Fleur Tampons had made quite a good offer with their products.

    Ryan call around whenever you like tomm morn as I will be here either oiling myself up or doing nervous poos.

    Nordie & I spent the day prepping ourselves at the Port Races. Fking A we're gonna show those lil fellas a fair bit of roost.

    Gonna pinch a pair of the mrs' pantyhose for a WW style prefilter.

    yip that makes sense.

    Pantyhose pantyhose ? I am running with the filter door off. Its on the right hand side so with a left turning track it should be less susceptible to filling the airbox with sand when roosted. Mr. K and Mr N developed these filters for just these kind of conditions. Also the induction noise sounds very cool.

    Ya what not sure I like the sound of either of those options. See you around 11.

    Good to hear your guys are all amped. I'm bringing my dinky fancy camera (cheapest Nikon DSLR) to get embarrassing pics of ya all getting roosted by the lil 2t's

    Cool.

    I wouldn't be worried if I couldn't race 'cause I get just as much buzz from the photography...







    The annoying thing is, I know just where and what style of shots I wanted to take this year

    Hi Fran,
    Since you posted a picture of his "big girl" on song at the beach, Paul S said he will save you and the boys a choice spot to set up camp, not to far from the loo (for the nervous one) and close to the action.
