They do take a while to get through eh lol. You're spot on re all the greats too Ummm, I carried the tent, only used it twice tho, broken bones and thin airbeds do not a good nights sleep make (whew)

Was right on Al's ass and aiming for the ZX9 when that bike went off on the last run, calling the session early! Price I must pay for going last then trying to carve through traffic I guess. Managed consistent 1.26 lap times on the last session with a top speed of 215kph thanks to Kenny's (Black 675 - Shocking white hair) secret Avgas blend he poured in right before the start. Thanks bro!

Did a safe top speed of 190kph 2 up with Maria on the last of the days runs. Wow was she fun to carry and we had a Blast!!! She was soooo wired after the run, soaked in sweat and grinning from ear to ear, Just like me!

The 675 is an awesome weapon that makes average riders fast.

[cowboyz]

must be the stickers making it go faster.
You talking about S3 cause in S4 86 and polly were ahead of me and I never saw you at all, we thought you had gone home.

[slydesigns]

nope... I started dead last and was chasing hard in the last, got with 3secs of you both before it was flagged. I was easy to find when ever we lined up... just had to look for Marias bright pink shirt next the the bike

[cowboyz]

Didn't Kenny do well? I timed one of his laps where he got held up severely through the chicane. Still pulled a 1.25 lap though!

Hes a damn smooth rider and one I'll be trying to follow first then beat later... I hope

I should be able to beat him as I have more stickers.

Some pics.
1. Kenny (shocking white hair) and Sarah (HiVis Vest) signing everyone in.
2. Nathan, top bloke, brit army, Sarahs nephew, getting my bike ready while I looked dazed to have even gotten in due to numbers and Sarah and Horse plan a coffee hunt.
3. The fateful first outing where the so called lil D675 passed the others on the opening laps and never looked back. Fun fun fun
4. Coming back in, very happy, before doubling Maria back to the pits.
5.Kenny and Sarah returning after Kenny showed her just how much of a weapon her bike is on the track, even 2up!

Thanks to Maria for the photos!

I had one of the best times I've ever had on a bike that weekend, partly due to the bike, partly the CDMTC's organisation, partly the friends I had around me, but mostly because of the smile on this womans face everytime she was around me or the bike!

1. We maybe mad but we're happy... who wouldn't be, ITS TRACKDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!

2. She had the same grin after we came back in too! Managed 190kph top speed according to the datalogger and a 1.32 lap time with her on the back. Looking forward to pillion trips together now!

3. The bike looks good, true, but she looks so much better!
