just popped in to watch and chat but sniff sniff...... had to leave depression kicked in

**Medic!** · 25-10-2013, 05:02 PM

Dropped in for coupla sessions. Will post some pics a bit later.
There was a leyland Mini in the car group I reckon must have been having the most fun out of the cars. Sounded sweet and was no slouch. He needs to get a side car monkey to put in the back seat to keep 4 wheels on the ground. Managed a blurry pic with one wheel in the air @ turn 5.

Binned the Gixxer in third session ... it went ova and ova and ova ... bounced on each side of the tank and once straight down on the top ... it don't go broom broom anymore :(

Felt for you. After hearing comments that some others felt the front slipping in the same place whats the bet it was anti freeze from one of those registered metal boxes. Hope you don't mind me posting these pics.

**chubb** · 25-10-2013, 06:13 PM

Yeah I saw that lying in the grass what happened???

I had a scary moment in one where I hit grass.

I managed to get the new tyres working sweet now with the mupo suspenders. Thanks Senator8

Yeah Dan, I'm fine, sans minor ego dent

Not going to let the off ruin my St George, so I'm workin on getting it all back together ... dropped off bike at local repair shop on way home and we went over it in detail ... they reckon they can do the work before Fri if I can source parts. Drew up list of what's needed and filling in findapart.com.au now. Luckily I have a stack of spares of common stuff, rearsets, clip ons, engine covers, so looking for sub frame, top fairing stay and some replacement bolts for left hand engine cover. I'll be doing everything in my powa to be there mate. :-)

I notice, and you can just see in bottom photo the RHS of the tyre is very shiny, like it's never been ridden on ... but it was the same on both sides after last track day ... a nice even wear, as per the rest of the tyre ... weird??? My bad I had put front tyre on wrong way round

... seemed to work same same.

Nice one. Sounds like you have all the spares I have so I don't have anything to offer but if you get stuck with parts give us a yell and I'll try suss for you as well.

**dan** · 25-10-2013, 06:58 PM

I do have a silencer you can use if you need it!

**dan** · 25-10-2013, 06:59 PM

**dan** · 25-10-2013, 07:00 PM

**chubb** · 25-10-2013, 08:02 PM

**Phat3R** · 25-10-2013, 08:44 PM

**BoB** · 25-10-2013, 10:37 PM

top day out there today , plenty of bikes getting in some practice for the upcoming st george . Good to catch up with you all , and yes Dan it was a goooood day

.... see you at st george.

Chubb , that was a very interesting line into t1 .. my hat goes off to you for keeping it upright.. i was trying my best not to look as the tarmac ran out ..

And the best stoppie of the day goes to liam with his rear wheel about a meter in the air and manages to miss the bimota and keep it upright... phew..

Vids to follow once i recover from the day

**Marshy** · 26-10-2013, 07:10 AM

No, Rick!! I didn't see that you'd come off. Sorry to hear, and if I can help at all to get you back on track for St George, just let me know.

Top day yesterday! Had a ball, especially riding a 400 in the last session.

I also made the mistake of looking at the grass... ooops

**DisPlaCeD** · 26-10-2013, 07:39 PM

What an absolutely brilliant day! Weather, track, bike, all brilliant. First day out on the new bike on full circuit, and still playing with the suspension but from first to last session saw a 4.5 second drop in time, but SO much more pace there once everything begins to fall in place! I swear though in the last session I was holding up a massive train of people!?! I think Team Zero was behind me and then a heap more bikes?! haha Just a great day to be back out after 8 months of not even riding a bike!

**senator8** · 26-10-2013, 08:12 PM

Where's my schnitzel Heimlich?

Here you go Rick. You're on about 10:50. Sorry could not edit or slow down. Could only upload.

**senator8** · 27-10-2013, 04:32 PM

Session 4

**Medic!** · 28-10-2013, 01:04 PM

Haven't had time to edit out the bad photography. I'll blame my almost 20yr old zoom lens that could well do with a service or update and my 50yr old eyes with filthy glasses.
Here's the link for the pics I too on the day. Would have been more but hadn't realised the kids had almost filled the card with pet pics and selfies. Bloody teenagers.
