Good report Jason and it was good to say g'day to you and spook in person. :) Congrats for the result and I can imagine it wasn't easy getting your head around the bike, the heat and getting passed by those missiles every 10 laps or so. I saw the bike plenty during the race but didn't know your leat...

Southern Downs Round 3

Well a different kind of race weekend for me. Team Manager rather than rider. As I continue to lick my wounds, the club was running the last round of the club championships so I recruited a couple of riders and played team manager for the weekend. I had always wanted someone else to ride my 750 to g...

Nice to hear an uneventful race report :) What will you do when there is nothing left to sort?

Also nice to hear about the power of the 1040..I hope to be running one next year.

I've been told plenty of times that the difference between my times and the faster guys earlier on was just down to doing laps. I guess I believe that up to a point. The point being where your skills and the bike's ability meet. The more laps I did on my 'home' track the more I got to understand the...
