Had a great day Saturday with my return to racing after breaking the collarbone. Phillip Island was the scene and the weather etc was as good as could be expected. I can see why the riders love it so much. Ended up lapping at about 2.03-.04 which is ok since I've ridden the track once before about 6 1/2 years ago. Better is I have identified places where I can go faster! Pics to follow later.
just bought this to go with my SP3 1000, havent told the missus yet.:(:(

This got a RWC today! Will be registered on Tuesday next week.
Mate you'll love it, but just one word of advice, don't leave it for long periods, the unleaded gets dirty and clogs the jets:mad:Quote:

They are shims, so a PITA to do.

wow - awesome pics guys :)
Gawd, that Thruxton's nice! :)
I rode my son's XJR1300 for the first time earlier this week when I picked it up from the bike shop.
My last ride was this - my CBR1000F (since sold):

You gotta love the feeling of freedom it gives.....
Only thing that tops it (IMO) is gliding (not hang glinding - real gliding)
Yep, the CBR was a nice ride. Bloody awful on gravel roads though. :(Quote:

I know I packed up a new bar in his motorcycle stuff. I'll hunt it out.
Glinding? :D
I haven't been gliding for over 30 years. I know that 'cos I have a pic of Elisabeth getting into the Blanik and she wasn't pregnant with Lee - that was about the last time I flew. Maybe I should take it up again.
I have a few bikes, see the pics, but the best of all I sold last year, the one in my avatar, after finishing fourth in the Aussie Title, to save up for a newer one.
I also own a couple of road bikes and do a lot of ks on one and not a lot on the other. I cant find a pic of my GSX-R750.
I have found one in England I want (the blue one) and I am tossing up whether to fly over to look or trust someone else with looking at it. I suppose if I go over I could buy up on Land Rover bits too, MUD console etc.

My babies!
The KLR is mostly collecting dust now :( No time to ride her. But the BSA is much more fun any way :D
