Hahah, the most nervous I was was actually at the drags, the first time I was back on the bike. After I worked out what I was doing wrong tho, it's been fine.
I was cheering under the helmet at the start of the PI races!!
Unfortunately I'm not racing next weekend tho. Totally out of cash, having paid through the nose for a trip to UK over Christmas and NY.
I'll be there on Monday and Friday and hanging around for the race days. Will be back in for round 1/2 tho!!

yea mate, the frame was bent, swing arm bent, wheels bent, forks bent ... i was bent lol ....
engine oil cover was cracked (right side, in front of clutch cover) top triple bent, lower triple smashed, clip-ons stuffed, lost the front reservoir, forks were ground off at the top clickers, cluster/dash cracked/damaged, fairings stuffed, tank damaged, sub frame bent, just everything was bent.
it's all been straightened now, got another pair of forks from Tristan, waiting for Marshy to mod the internals.
it's a slow process when you dun have factory backing (sigh)

Might have missed it, but can we leave our gear at the track on Friday afternoon?
Is normally not a problem.
I'm getting excited! Three days yeeha!
Good luck today everyone! Hopefully the rain holds off, I've been trying my sundance, but I was never a good dancer. See you tomorrow! PB's all round!

Sorry to hear about Kanga's off at T1, I hear he's out of surgery and recovering well at hospital.

So it was kanga that crashed t1. Fark . I was thinking this arvo I didn't run into him yesty arvo or today.... Real bad spot for a stack... All the best muck for a speedy recovery
sorry to hear about Kanga ... never good to hear the chopper ...
My weekend went a bit pair shaped (for Bears only the first 2 races of each day counted)
Lead F5 by 1 pt
Race one - great start and pushed past my rival down into turn 4 but was passed on the straight and never got back in touch
Now 4pt down
Race two - out on warm up an realized I hadn't refuelled tossed up hoping and riding slow but decided pit lane and second was best (was a bit speedy in to pits and through the lane ... got away with it) despite the slow lap times was one of the rides of my life on a (slightly damp - nah just in the head - track) passing 7 guys in 5 laps including my competition out of old 10 into 11 on the last lap (but then came the straight and I lost 2 of those places)
Now 9pt and need to win the first 2 GP legs
Race 3 (Race 1 Sunday) - Got him into 4 again (turning left this time) but got caught into turn 1 - had been a BUGGER all weekend for me and was way down on speed there, front kept walking sideways ... after he passed a couple of 300s I got stuck and that was that championship over (ignoring DNF)
Now 14pt down
Race 4 went to refuel and KEY WAS NOT IN THE IGNITION - hauled the spare bike off the trailer after the gate closed but could get it running in time (note to self spare bike only useful if battery is charged) - despite empting all tool box and even going through 2 garbage bins I have not found the key - don't know what happened to it .... I never take the key out except to refuel and then its locked in the cap lock and back to ignition ... I'm at a buggered if some one found a key let me know as it will save me a new transponder chip and locksmith to open tank
Finally got a indication of HP of the other bike
Me 700cc and 72Hp
Him 900cc and 89Hp and then they did engine work and made it faster - need to build a bigger long track bike ... need a 2001 - 2004 904 Monster or SS motor (have the rest...)

Wow, what a fun bloody day on track! I can't believe I left it so long to have a go! Great to meet a few more of the blokes from on here.
Few things I worked out from the day;
1. I have absolutely no idea on how to race launch a motorcycle. Race 1, took off like a teenage girl on facebook at a set of traffic lights. Race 2, two wheelies and a false neutral. Race 3, had it sitting on the friction point at about 7 thou, bike crept forward, jump start 10 second penalty.
2. What a friendly, great bunch of people that are into this racing thing.
3. If your knee slider comes off on the first lap, continuing to ride for the rest of the race makes lefthanders bloody hard. Once I dabbed it down a couple of times, I ended up not using my knee at all, it really makes a couple of the corners scary. It also makes a fucking mess:
4. I'm hooked.
5. PB! 1:41.56 something... in race one! SO happy with that! I was hoping to get to 1:40s in the next couple of races, but no knee slider, then spots of rain in the last race meant it wasn't to be.
Cheers fellas, and thanks for everyones friendly faces that took a lot of the nerves and stress away.
Nath
PS; hope Kanga recovers well, nasty place to go down.
More videos are up. Unlimited race 1, Sunday:
