Victorians for Straightliners - get on board

[TurboKat]

Seeing as how only Booster replied to my original post (page 7 of Straightliners topic) calling for interest in Stu's Straightliners event, I thought that seeing as I'm now an accomplished Dragracer,;) I should try again to gather some Mexican participation.
I C.B.F. typing it all again so check out the original post for what I'm proposing.
It's getting more interesting now because OzKat has challenged my righteous arse to a ZX9 vs. GSXR grudge match on his imaginery hotrod Gixer that he doesn't even have yet :D
I reckon we should take it a step further & have a State of Origin showdown as well, so if anybody has any pride in the Garden State (or whatever the fuck we're calling it now) sign up now to kick some NSW & QLD arse. [8D]

[Iceman]

Still work'n on it, Darren. We'll just have to wait and see.

[ozkat]

FARK!!! you Mexicans are soft as custard and twice as yellow ;)

[TurboKat]

Them's Fightin' words. [}:)]

[ozkat]

Fight? you wont even be able to catch me

[Booster]

Haven't decided how i will get there yet but trailer or ute will probably have room for 2 bikes,;)
If anyone is undecided due to costs it will be way cheaper to share.

[ozkat]

Hey Booster, i think Turbokat was thinking about hiring a dual cab truck, that way 6 or 7 could split the cost and make it much cheaper. Mabe turbo could shed some more light on this.

[TurboKat]

Yeah, that's what I was thinking but need some definate confirmations before going ahead.
Deano's still hurting from being bitch slapped clean off the racetrack last weekend :D
Rosco's scared to race me 'coz he knows deep down that green is mean. [:o)]
Foxy will still be too hungover from the GP the weekend before & can't get 2 leave passes in a row 'coz Kim wears the pants ;)
Iceman is using some LAMEARSE excuse about just having a baby [V]
God has a perfectly good Gixer & numerous Bimotas to play with but has been conspicuous by his silence. [?]
Jack (Mike) has about 27 hot bikes at his disposal so has no excuse. [8D]
Booster is a REAL man & is keen.:)
Gibbo - well I discussed it with him at Rosco's shindig but I was too pissed to remember what he said. :(
KevKatana seems to be a dragracer so should be keen :D
Doc has a perfectly good GSXR 11 & therefore no excuse ;)
JoJo is keen I think & her Gixer should be well finished by then. [:X]
Shano has 3 750cc+ bikes to choose from but he probly won't be able to go without sex for 2 weekends in a row [:I]
What about the rest of you Vic's [?] Russ? Deafwish? Slugie? Oldskool? Unsane? Totaldamage? Pnut? who else? what's your excuses?
Time to prove you are a MAN & that you don't wear frilly knickers & squat to piss [:I][:o)]

[Booster]

Dualie would be good[:p]

Any more light from Turbokat and we would all be blinded:D

[sluglie]

who needs excuses, time to show you upity lot how the poms do it (ie, the proper way) i will be there

[Gsxar]

Yeap Turbo I'm still way keen to go up for it.
Just need to see what I can work out with kids etc before I commit to it ;)

Thats the way mate:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

[totaldamage]

The 7/11 has droped a cylinder i think...
The stunt bike will be no good for the speed,But the gixxer1000 is a can do(needs a new tyre),But i'd been keen if it wasn't so far away

[latheboy]

hey so what if i like frilly knickers ...

[God]

Hey Turbo,

Don't forget the mighty Daytona!

Work continues to be mental - too many lazy dealers around the countryside that I have to keep visitin to "encourage" them to deal - and so I cannot give yes/no re: straightliners.

If I can it will be a last minute kinda thing.

Sorry.

its a non religeous event,so you^^^ wont be missed.

[God]

Davo you pissant little turd,

It's not my fault you are jealous of me.

Get yer own life.

[jack]

Go God !

He does buts its not religious [^][B)][:p][V]

[RR-711]

Pretty sure ill be there Turbo. Green is not mean its more Kermittish![xx(] Real bikes are blue or black.;) God, Davos not that little. And he must have a life he`s got the time to build his bike [:0]

[sharky]

I'm hoping to have the XJR ready by then...not really to race but as a shakedown to see what time it does stock before the playing begins...:)

[Gsxar]

Hey Turbo whats happening with this any more plans yet? Am very keen to go but wanna find out what cost involved Got the baby sitter arranged and everything lol

[TurboKat]

He'ey Jo (where you goin with that gun in your hand?)
I haven't had any 100% "I'm ins" yet, everyone seems to be waiting 'til the last minute [V] Some people I've spoken to expressed concern about it being the w/e after the GP & I can understand that, we'll just hafta play it by ear & maybe make a decision a couple of weeks beforehand if it comes to that.
Hopefully, there'll still be some spots available.
If there were say, 5 or 6 of us, we could do it in a truck & 1 car at a guess, it'd probly cost $3-400 each (3 days truck hire, piss, fuel, food, race entry, accomodation for Fri & Sat night)
3 ton Pan (box) is $95/day, fits 5 bikes & gear & 3 in the front.
A twincab pan would be ideal but I'm having trouble tracking one down.
Look everyone - Jo's keen & SHE'S A GIRL.
All Victorian ASF members, have a feel between your legs ......... feel those lumps? They're called TESTICLES [:0] use 'em & come to Straightliners & do some Dragracing, at the end of the day, you'll look like this :D I personally guarantee it ;)

[Iceman]

All's I found was a empty space. The misses suggested I check her handbag. With any luck she might lend them to me for a few days. lol

[Iceman]

:)I'm in. As a spectator anyway. Just downloaded to forms will post them tomorrow.

:D:D <<<< that's me and Darren!

[ozkat]

99% of you Victorians are girls anyway. :D

[Iceman]

That's nearly 10 girls to every bloke. I'm happy with that.

Oz must prefer it man to man. lol

[glenpick]

I've been contemplating going this year, so it would be cool to meet a few of ya's as I'm a newby.
Cheers
Glen

[sharky]

Got the forms filled in, send 'em off today and paying.
The dual cab / truck sounds a good idea.
Anyone booked up accomodation yet ?

[Iceman]

Seeing as it's only a month away we probably should start to get our shit together.

Who's definatly going, when are we leaving and how are we all getting there?

Turbokat are you still keen on getting a truck or something similar?

[sharky]

As posted elsewhere I don't know if I will have the bike ready on time, usual stuff work,money etc (just ordered 2 new tyres,brake and clutch lines...ouch !!)
I'm all paid up but maybe looking to share a vehicle.
Who's staying where ?

i have a full list of accommodation if ya's need it,motels and houses. personally ive rented a big house that sleeps 11,works out at about $40 per head for 3 nights,the motels are about $75 per night.

[Iceman]

Cheers Davo.

Can you post the list for us to have a look at?

I want that list daffyd and I still want to know if it's Ocean STREET or DRIVE

will do tommorrow.
its Drive Rich...DRIVE.

[hooligan]

Can i see the list of accomadation too? When are you mexicans heading through Sydney - wondering if i could tag along.

[Iceman]

Bump!

new topic...Straightliners accommodation listings

Hey, have you Mexicaans figured out if you're coming through the ACT again?
Gotta make sure the bbq's got gas, chops ordered etc.....

Got a real garage now, so emergency repairs etc can be catered for.

[Iceman]

What's the go guys?

It seem's Booster, Sharky and myself are the only Victorians going. We'll need to organize something soon.

[fimpBIKES]

anyone need to camp here for the night?

[TurboKat]

Well, the idea of hiring a truck is out, the extra Ks needed would have made it insanely expensive. Deano & I then decided that we'd chuck the bikes in his ute & head up, but his work & financial commitments fucked that up so now I have to make alternative arrangements. I want to get there preferably with but possibly without a bike to run so might have to consider just spectating if I can't sort something soon.
Have you country boys (Ice, Sharky & Booster) organised anything yet?

[sharky]

I'm out..:(..:(..[V]
The starter clutch has completely shat itself and that means engine out, crankcase's split and $3-400 of parts !!!
That blows my budget for the w/e.....

[Booster]

I'm taking the ute up and leaving Wed, Have to be in Brissy on Fri.
Thought i may be able to fit 2 bikes in the ute but that seems unlikely when i look at the other stuff that needs to go like toolbox ,spare tire,fuel, leathers,clothes, passenger.etc

Why can't you ride up Turbo? And if you can ride it there, you can play on the runway.

[Iceman]

I don't give a fuck how I get there or who I travel with. At this stage the only plan I've made is to leave here at some stage and to get there either Friday night or early Saturday morn'n.

I'm open to suggestions.

I'm thinking of leaving the ACT on Friday morning, for one run straight through.............hopefully, or Thursday arvo with a stop along the way around Sydney/Newie way

You're welcome to stay Wednesday/Thursday night if you want Ice.

[fimpBIKES]

stop over on friday night in newy would suit me

[ozkat]

Scared? :D

Any chance of catching up with Claire in Newie?

[Booster]

How are you traveling Clint?
I have a trailer i could probably put on the ute for Turbokat but only seating room for the trip up and my leaving mid week may be a prob.

Claire rang me today,still hasnt had the offspring yet,she'll be spending 5 days at Maitland Private Hospital after the ordeal so she should be home by then.Ill let her know you asked Mark.

[Iceman]

The way it's look'n, I'll be driving up on my lonesome.

On ya Davo!

Can't you and TK hook up?

[sharky]

I am still tempted to go for it...What do you reckon fuel cost will be Iceman ??

Well come through CBR and join up, we'll pick up Fimp and co in Newy.

btw just what are you riding?

[sharky]

Thats a point Iceman , You ridin or drivin ?

[fimpBIKES]

what?
i was just up at that hospital visiting my dad an hour ago!!

[Iceman]

It'll be four wheels for me on this trip.:(


quote:Originally posted by Sharky

I'd say an arm and a leg at least.[V]

quote:Originally posted by Large

He has to go past my place to get there, so as soon as he commits to a plan, maybe we can arrange something[8D]

[sharky]

I've checked on 'route planner' and it says 1380K from Benalla. So say a round trip of 2700K at 10 litre/100K, thats 270 Litres @ $1.50 = $400 ish.
Not too bad split 3 ways...

[Iceman]

That's pretty good. All's we have to do is decide when to leave and what CD's to take. lol

What!!!!? Ain't any of you girls riding?

Pah

[sharky]

Sorry Iceman, Just checked everything and I really can't afford it. It is either S/liners or fix bike.....can't do both.:(
NEXT YEAR !!!:D

This is getting sad guys, no wonder they named you're state after an old queen :D

[hooligan]

I'm riding, Chalk.

[God]

Err Chalky,

shouldn't that be a cold hearted barren absolutley no fun bitch face old queen...?

by the way what is canberra 'sposed to mean again...?

Cunt of a place
Assholes live here
Nancies fags and poofs too
Bloody politicians everywhere
Everywhere else is better than here
Ride straight on past, that's what most sensible people do
Run past, if you don't have a fast bike
Assholes live here (there's so many it needed repeating)

And I was actually thinking more along the lines of old Oxford St queens [:X][:0]

On ya Hooligan, got any ride schedule yet?

[sharky]

Trust me mate, No one is more pissed than I am :(.
At least I paid up and was going ( to race) 'til it hit the fan...

[hooligan]

Not yet Chalk. I'm going to the GP, then back to sydney, couple of days at home, then straightliners. I just looked it up on where is, it's 7hrs 58mins syd to evans head up the pac hwy (longer if we have some fun). You thinking one day or two, considering i can't get booked again?

I was thinking bout Friday, as far as poss, with a short run into Evan's Head on Saturday. Sydney's close enough that I could do it Thursday night if need be.

If we take the back roads, we'll be safer from plod, and maybe make up some time :).

I'm still flexible at this stage, if there's a meet up in Sydney then I'll join with that, else I'll go play on the Putty, and look for a meet up in Newie.

[hooligan]

I wanted to get there friday, 'cause it's easier to find one place to stay, rather than two.
youy could stay at mine thurs, and we head up on friday morning?

[Iceman]

Sorry to hear that Sharky.

Only about seven months til the fools run, you better have the bike run'n for that then.

That sounds a goer mate, where in Sydney are you?.

I'm still interested in seeing what the Victoria's are up to as well.

I'm in newtown, at the end of the princes hwy/start of king st. The more people we go up with the better (even if they are victorians:D).

Good pubs in Newtown, at least there used to be a couple of..... a few....... quite some years ag........ when I was younger :D

Hey Sharky, did you get my replies to you're email? Just noticed a couple of bounce backs from you're email address (I did the reply thing and all)

Prices on parts from Bikefarm are very good atm, so I'm planning on ordering a riser kit this week, want me to order your lowering kit at the same time?

And Victorians are ok to ride with, apart from their constant bitching about the quality of the roads in NSW :D

[unsane]

Hey chalkster i woulndt mind getting one of those bikefarmmv risers too, interested in going together on post or something? Let me know, can transfer you some cash this week or something.

No worries unsane, I'll order them Mon/Tues. Let me know before hand if you change you're mind, otherwise you're in the order.

Comes to under $85, plus delivery to Aus (which on a single item equals %40 of the item cost, but hopefully Sharky will join in and we can split it 3 ways = risers for under $100).

[sharky]

Sorry mate, but No I haven't had any emails from ya.
And the wife ordered and paid for her links yesterday ( found the paypal link ).

No worries Sharky, ley us know how you go with them.

[unsane]

Cool thanks chalk. Wont change my mind, im in. Will email you tommorow and we can sort out the $. Thanks again.

Order sent mate, will let you know when they arrive.

[Iceman]

Seeing as just about every other Victorian has backed out of straightliners, I don't mind this thread being hijacked.

I am however still going, if Turbokat decides what he is doing we might travel together. Still don't know when I'm leaving, which way I'll go, or what vehicle I shall use.
One thing is for sure, the iceman cometh!

And, yes, I have been waiting ages to work that into a post!

He better be coming on the RF900 this time


:D

[Iceman]

RF needs a tyre.

Might get one.

[sharky]

And a paintjob....;)

I'm getting a new set for the run. Now that the rear is staying on the ground I can feel the lack of traction there :D

And at least if the RF is unpainted then Ice can claim he's starting to fighter it (hint hint Ice, that machine would make an awsome fighter mate) :)
