Stans FZR to make it to Wakefield

sbutler · Post by **sbutler** » Mon May 03, 2010 2:45 pm

Just got an Email of Bill the guy that bought Stans FZR of me. He said it should be good to go at Wakefield round 2 of the PCRA champs.
How goods that! another frikken FZR1000 to blast everyone on the straights.. Bill races a 600 so the 1000 is gonna be a shock Id say. Either way he is gonna have some fun
Steve..

wish him all the best for me, it's so hard to watch your kids grow up

That bike has a great soul, give it a bit of love and it will pay you back

No Bill is a real racer, this will be his first PCRA meeting. He is getting into pre modern because the 600 supersport class is so expencive..
Control tyres that you have to buy from the supplyer at the track & at whatever price he wants to charge. Thats sort of thing.
So he spoke to me about the Peter Jackson bike but Mike had already got it, so I offered him Martins FZR & gave hime all the setup data I had gathered over the 2 years I had the PJ bike, & away he went..
I think if he can come to grips with the FZR after the new 600 he's been racing he could be a dark horse..

Why do I do this to myself???? Another bloody FZR to worry me..

So you mean there are no real racers in PCRA.

Is it Pre Modern or New Era? Maybe I'm getting confused, I thought Stan's bike was an FZR750? I'd heard it was here in Melbourne??

Finally getting my FZR out on a track, May 30th ride day at Broadford. Racing the VFR and the 400 at PI May 22-23.

Look forward to your Wakefield Race report Steve, with a big improvement in pace !! (no pressure...)

i raced an 88' FZR 750 which i beleive is still in Melbourne somewhere, but the bike sbutler is refering to is my old 91' road bike which Steve brought off me, but has since onsold and has been transformed by Bill into a race bike

It will be interesting to see what he does with it Steve.

P.S. 3 more sleeps 'till race weekend. Bad news is I have a tendonitis problem with my shoulder which has flared up over the last couple of days. Fingers crossed it doesn't get any worse or there will be no riding for me. Last time it got real bad and I had to get cortisone injections to calm it down

I've entered 2 bikes in 2 classes and have 10 races on the card!!

No no , what I ment was he races in the main game, not club racing.
I know there are some of the guys that race with us that do the same, & do PCRA [club] racing too.

Ahhh....I see!

Ahhh...that FZR. It all makes sense now

Good luck Mike - just get the injection now as a precaution!

What!!! are you some sort of nut! 10 races???

They would have to have an oxgyen tent on standby for me.

Good luck with it Mike. Awating race report..

Yes, some sort

I will very much be taking it as it comes. I entered tht Ducati just to be able to get some more track time. I reserve the right not to actually make it to all of the grids

Have fun Mike... :cool

JasonL · Post by **JasonL** » Tue May 04, 2010 8:24 pm

The most I did was 8 races over a weekend and that was enough, plus the 3 warm ups and 3 qualifying sessions. Knackered. Value for money though!!

With any luck you'll have a decent gap between heats??

Bugger Stans bike isnt gonna make it..
Bill just emailed me & told he just ran out of time to get it to Wakyfield

So I suppose its the 26/6/10 at the creek, they go bloody good there too!!
That track is built for FZR1000s
