[Loz]

Never been to PI before so I'll start out in the bitch group and if I work my way up out of that, I'll be happy.

[gibbo]

Almost sorted for tuesday, just a small problem with tyres :( Have not fucken got any :(

[TurboKat]

I got a real good S/H set of Dunlop slicks from A1 a few weeks back Gibbo, see what they've got (if you haven't already tried 'em)
DO NOT buy any from Treads, I went through every tyre they had up on top of the office & they are all [u]fucked</u>.
I've got a soft compound Bridgy 002 front here that is about 60% if you get really stuck, it's yours if you want it.

[Deano]

just about sorted aswell. jetted up the flat slides and fuck me them combined with a quick turn throttle have made a huge difference. Have put on the 6 pots calipers that i got from booster but cant get the fuckers bled up properly. may have to go back to the 4 pots if i don't have any more luck bleeding them tomorrow night.

you still gunna come down for a look darren?

[TurboKat]

Yeah mate, I'll be there about 10 or 11, gotta take my Ohlins to SCP first & replace the hydraulic preload adjuster.
I'll be bringing my stopwatch & video camera so make sure you're at your most impressive.

[Booster]

Any time i had trouble bleeding brakes it was usually a bubble of air in the banjo at the mastercyl.
What size master cyl , std with those calipers is 5/8.

Have fun guys, wish i was going...

Yeah Greg, I don't think you could ever say Gibbo is OK but he didn't injure himself.
Actually, I'm only stirring him up, he did come off but it was only a slow tip over on the grass, he was rounding up some Wally at the Southern Loop & the dude kept running wider & wider until Al had run out of track & hadta take to the grass. Damage was limited to a mildly bent subframe, a cracked ductail, a couple of scratches & a rear wheel/tyre full of grass.
Proof that you can't keep a <s>good</s> below average man down was that he was out again for the next session - bent rearend and all.
Loads bike also had a lie down when the sidestand sank into some hot asphalt - if it suffered any damage, you couldn't tell. ;)
Deano went fast on his new Bridgy slicks, knocked a plethora off his previous PB, I'll let him tell yous about it.

[gibbo]

OOOOOHHHHHHH, it hurts [xx(], nah not too bad but I reckon I,m gunna cop some shit for a while yet;), had a great day except for a certain couple of seconds :D as for times I'm fucked if I know.

[Booster]

Alls good then
I'll pass on the pics of the VFR to Pullthru, he will be happy to see it put to good use

I got your best as a 2m 13s, not bad for your second ever trackday on a bike with a fucked rear shock that you'd never ridden before.
Oh yeah, don't worry Crash, we won't put any shit on you, I reckon you rode crash hot. I bet you're tired now, you'd better go and crash. [:o)] ;)

[latheboy]

Sounds like you guys had a bucket load of fun .. Was there any hot chicks around to help gibbo with a bandaid ...

You know the old saying this thread is useless without photos luckily you only had it painted in undercoat;)

[Gix11]

Nice photos TK. Cheers mate. That sounds like loads of fun. Why the fuck is PI so far away...

Gibbo - don't let TK get the better of you mate.

Bloody right mate...far too many corners on them roundy roundy tracks...;)

[Deano]

funny stuff gents.

had a great day myself. bloody hot for the first session but cool change came through and once the wind fucked off the weather was perfect for the rest of the day.

was great to see the ASF guys out there having a crack at the worlds best race track. the new suspension worked fantastic and gave me a shit load more confidence to push harder.

after coming in after the first session with the flat slides on i pulled up and could smell fuel looked down and saw petrol pissing out of the 3&4 float bowl overflow straight onto the motor. quickly stopped the leak by parker putting his finger over the overflow but that ment it started pissing out somwhere else. furned off the fuel tapps and luckily the bike didn't catch fire. i swapped back to the cv carbs for the rest of the day.

luckily somone had a transponder hidden somewhere and my lap timer was been triggered each lap.

started the first 2 sessions with a best of about 2.00min but got a tow in the 3rd session and got down to the 1.55 that i was aiming for, ended up with a best of 1.53.0min according to the lap timer.

found that the gearing that i was running may be a little short. was fine early in the day when i was going slow but as i got faster the 1100 was tapped out at 240kph down the straight at 10500 odd rpm. will try going up 1 tooth on the front next time as see how i go.

great to see gibbo get back out there in the last session even after his mischeif. hope it hasn't dampened your enthusiasium to do more track days mate.

got some good pics but looked on the photographers website and they are not up yet so will post up when their website is updated.

thanks again guys for a great day.

That 2nd pic of you is the best one I reckon Deano. plenny of lean angle, knee down & the black visor gives it attitude as well - good shot that - the guy takes good pics.

[TurboKat]

Oh yeah, the 3rd pic reminds me of one of those big Bathurst style alloy drop tanks on a SLR 5000. :D

[Gix11]

You've been practising mate! Nice shots.

[fimpBIKES]

WOOHOO!!!

jealous as, after seeing that track up close i REALLY want to get down there :(

[TurboKat]

It's an aloominum catch tray Large, on full faired bikes you have to have a means of catching the amount of oil the engine holds in case you should stick a leg out of bed - it's not required for trackdays but it is for racing.
He knocked it up before the last Interclub round a few weeks ago to satisfy the scrutineers because he was intending to race like a real man but instead he chickened out like a little sooky girly because he thought it might rain. ;)
Of course it didn't rain & all the big tough motorcycle racers went out & tore it right up & had a ball while Deano sat in the pits crying & wishing he was hard. :D
Can you tell I've been hanging to tell that story? [^]

[latheboy]

what interclub race did you do mate. i shoul have raced at that one cause i one i was at it rained and wet the track in the morning and given it was going to be my first race and not having wets and only unscrubbed slicks i didn't want to risk taking you out aswell.

see i always look out for you mate.

you are gunna have to tuck in you skirt and do a few more ride days aswell mate cause i am a catching you according to the lap times[8D]

[WATEVR]

ooohhhh i smell some healthy competition coming on!!!! let the ASF crew go racing woo hooo

[TurboKat]

Yep, after watching me get on the podium in each of my first 2 race meetings, Deano has decided that I shouldn't have all the champagne to myself & has committed to doing the whole Victorian Interclub Series next year, his laptimes are coming down so he should be competitive with the leading 4 KAWASAKIS in the Pre Modern class (if his Gixer doesn't blow its guts all over the racetrack trying to keep up. :D)
The ASF Race Team (Mexican Division) flag will fly high in 2008 & we'll be sure to share all the gory details with yiz.
Watch this space Race fans. ;)
