At least you know how to get there now Cakeman,

Bringing up the Matrix 998 next Sunday. Getting the original bi posto rear end and mirrors touched up this week. Just two packed cleared the dried out carbon parts which turned out fantastic. [thumbsup] Going to get some stainless cap screws and we should be all great for next Sunday.

See you all there [thumbsup] [moto] [thumbsup]

I went down for half an hour or so, great day, given me plenty of ideas to spend more more money (must say i dont mind those warp speed radiator grills)

Great to meet my first Ozmonster member in the flesh... was a pleasure meeting you Brian. Did not get a chance to say bye as i was summonsed off to work.

Look forward to meeting more of y'all in the future

No winners. Only bikes that won were the ones trailered in (As expected).

And a big sorry to the "I brought my bike on my ute" bloke. Poor bloke dropped hi S4RS off the back of his ute right in the middle of the show! [bang] [bang] [bang]
Bike had 1600Ks on the clock.

Great to see Craigo, BrianW, Monstro, MonsterMick, Pigmy, Jukie , Steve and Betty(hope I didn't forget anyone ;D)

Brian won 4V.  dunno about 2V.

I'll have photos in a week or so, once I get my film developed  [cheeky], as I went all analog and stuff.

The Matrix came up nice - was a bit surprised it didn't win its class.

I pity the poor bloke with the S4RS.  Apparently Ducatis don't like trailering or being washed.

Post by: J5 on September 18, 2010, 11:32:57 PM
got there early about 10am and got harrassed at the gate to enter , nah sorry i dont have all day to sit around

first stop sausage sandwich mmm

good to see brian did a great job of washing from yesterdays adventure

was planning on a visit to cakemans shop didnt remember till was halfway home , and besides i dont go south of the river ;) lmao

amazing how many bikes suffer damage when on the trailer

Im trying to put names to the bikes.. I saw Ducmorob's bike which i took quite a few photos of and got some great ideas, i spoke to Brian but wasnt to sure which was his and i think i saw yours SuzyJ (just recognised by the sticker on the rear cowl), did i miss any others?

Naah, that was someone elses.  I drove down, so I could bring Perry and get him all enthused.  He's such a good husband, I think he totally deserves a 998.

Excellent that Brian won, two years in a row an OzMo picked up the trophy.
I guess if I had a few hours yesterday to wash and prepare and the day free today I could have given him a run for his money.
I think he would have got me though his bike is mighty clean!

Ouch for the dropped S4Rs, guess it shows you that bikes should be ridden they are allergic to straps and tie downs.
Bet ya he woulda shit himself if he was with us yesterday!

No, unfortunately.  He has this wild idea that my wanting him to have a 998 isn't entirely selfless.

Same as you Michael, I was fully occupied all day - judged the sport classic category as well.  My 860GTS restoration won best bevel touring and the 888906 was 1 point shrt of winning the racebike class.  Waz Hayes judged the racebike class and he has his 851 Tricolour in the workshop at the moment being serviced...you do the math...Waz, ya shoulda known betta!

Okay I guess - would have been nicer if I had some more control over lighting/positioning and could get rid of the annoying bits of paper taped to the bikes.
