    If that's true, they only made about 30 Factory Aprilia Van Den Bosch reps and only 3 got to Oz.
    Carbon and titanium everything.

    About 77hp
    He was playing with Josh on the straights, awesome bike, I don't know what you thought about Josh's performance, he seemed to have lost much of his style of flicking the back end out around the corners, just my observation

    Not the best surface to hang it out on. Some corners changed the chip coarseness half way. Not ideal if you're wanting a nice consistent slide.

    Are you being fricking sarcy????
    He spent the last half of the front straight backing it in. I was a bit disappointed with the numbers of supermotos seemed down on last year. It does seem to be a bit of a younger mans choice - maybe it's the future of racing?

    Jen do you want to pass on to Nick & the crew that the commentator was awesome & the speaker setup heaps better than previous years. Also it would be quite cool if there were a few haybales or similar stacked up a bit back from the track on the end of the main straight to sit/ stand on as the fence makes it really hard to see past - maybe hit up a scaffolding co for some makeshift seats?

    I could see down the straights of bend 5 and 6, that Aussie definitely had an advantage over Josh, I just needed to know what it was! HORSE POWER!

    Coppins style

    Josh Coppins setting up for turn 1 - did this every lap without apparent effort. I liked it...

    What time do you think you can make it? We could probably hold on till 10.30 if that helps

    Hot, man was it hot today.

    Went for a hoon to St Arnaud and over the Porika and back this arvo as a final run before the db and to try out my christmas motorbike trousers. It was like riding in a sauna. Seriously I stopped once to check if the bike was on fire it was that hot.

    Hope the dustys not that hot

    Today was hot, too hot.

    Oh and fell off once after a beautiful save where I swear that my handlebars dragged on the ground before saving it and then high-siding..

    Was very hot picking the bike up in the glaring hot sun.
    I mentioned vegetables once, but I think I got away with it...........
