Craig, that's excellent thanks heaps for that.
So great to see and hear yourself out there.
Next time I'll ask someone to take my bike around just to hear what she sounds like on the day.
Excellent footage, really chuffed  ;D ;D

kursed

lucky pricks.
I'll make it to the next one if I can get myself some leathers... do they have to attach to your jacket? my icon jacket doesnt have any connectors for pants.

And a great day it was, not too warm a nice breeze passing through the garage.
Excellent track conditions, fresh oil changed myself (with Vince's help) well actually he changed it then when I announced after the job was done
That it was my first ever time doing this myself, Why didn't ya tell me I would have let you burn your own fingers off pulling the sump plug. (I'd just ridden from the City)

Back to the day, where was I, ah yes good conditions slight cloud cover good track temp not too hot.
Vince giving the Jap bike Thou's a hiding, get to the 4th session on my warm up lap after missing the first couple of laps of the session.
Rounding turn 7 before Corporate Hill long left hander, glance over to my right to see a fella on his TL 1000R had placed himself on a narrowing piece of real estate.
So how do you get yourself out of that situation, he gives it a hand full of wellie and hey presto over the top he went.
He was about half a bike length in front of me to my right and I just watched it in slow motion....

I couldn't believe I was seeing it, I felt terrible inside my helmet cause I felt like he was out there cause of me but then I corrected myself and thought well all he needed to do was wait one corner and he would have been safely by.
Poor mate Zeeat behind who was on an out lap with me had to avoid the bike sliding off one way and the rider going the other.
Went to check on the rider at the Medical centre after the session was red flagged, he was in okay shape hand and feet moving.
But couldn't remember what happened and all he kept saying was This wasn't supposed to happen!

Lets hope track day #4 is not as eventful for me.
I hear though that Vince is sticking the S4RS on slicks!!!!
He's already grinning like a teenager running SuperCorsa Pro's, slicks are gonna make him grin like a teenager who just saw his first nudie girl and took off to tell his mates. On Slicks!

My nose as been all choked up since I burnt the tip of my nose clearing finger on that sump plug, But yes it was good to have a fresh batch of oil in the sump ;D

As for the Ltr Japer’s the monster can defiantly hold its own against them on the track.

The only let down would be in to turn 1 and 12  but I think a good damper set up, slicks and some suspension setup would short that out

As for Matty you were tearing it up all day long being one of the fastest in you group,
All I can say is you are defiantly asking you baby to make commitments she can’t deliver  ???

Can’t wait to see you on a more capable machine you’ll be hot on my tail  [popcorn]

All fun day cant wait until the next one ,Which happens to be on the 13th of December He He  [moto]


If I wasn't who i was, I wouldn't be who I am !
