Bring it mate you'll be fine. My bandit sure as shit isn't the quickest out there but it's the most fun you can have for under $50 with ya pants on. It's all about fun and trying to beat your self rather than the guy in the other lane. You wont regret it I promise.

[881052gixxr]

i will be bringing my baby blade so you guys for sure aint gonna have the slowest bike there...:D

[MONO]

I met up with some of you asf members last sun an well i'm up for some more even if it's 400 meters at a time. Can any tell me what time it raps up i've got a bday party / dinner booked already

[ozkat]

Finishes about 4.30 i think.

[MONO]

Whats the go how many runs ,race the clock , heads up ,bracket ,dial in ,test n tune .Bikes now fairly pulled apart found heaps of storage probs waiting for a few parts ,etc.

[motogp_nut]

As many as you can get around to. Finishes about 4:30 - 5:00 but welcome to stay for test and tune after for free.

[MONO]

whats the deal sat turn up time do they go over your bike will we be undercover do i have to hire bikini model to guide me back after burnout ?????

[papa smurf]

Hey Monoman,
Turn up at 12.30 & make yourself known to us or find the rest of the ASFer's.
Either I or someone else that knows the drill will run ya through it.
No they don't go over your bike, there is cover if you want it & bikini models are entirely optional.

Hey Russ, are you coming out with us?

[sharky]

Sure am mate. You have room for the missus too ?

[Fish]

Holy attending ASFers Batman!!! Looks like we're going to have a decent turn out on saturday. :D

(Been about 10+ yrs since i've sent a bike down the strip) .Q-1 tall / standard / short final gearing. Q-2 soft / hard suspension soft will lower the bike. Q-3 fuel tank full/2lts or so .Q-4-5-6 are mostly about girls flashing parts after a good 1/4 mile et but that can wait till sat ;)

Hey Monoman, like Shayne said, ride it like ya stole it BUT.
A-1 leave gearing alone
A-2 soft dampening with sloooooow rebound
A-3 FULL to the brim, 2 reasons, 1; more weight over front to help keep it down, 2; any less & you'll run out & miss half the fun.
A-4,5,&6 what evilkarl said.
But MOST importantly,,,,,,,,,,,,HAVE FUN.;)

[MONO]

Yea sure Shayne i'll give you the head start if you give me the turbo [:p]

[Fish]

Bugger I got all excited and three of ya pull out. Hasn't anyone ever told ya it's no fun pulling out? oh well guys maybe next one hey, lot's of fun to be had.

[sharky]

[Fish]

Well I had fun even though I was running some of the worst times I've ever run. good to see and meet so many of you there.

[papa smurf]

Had a great day yesterday until i did this.
This is my best effort yet at smashing a clutch
I have previously broken & burnt plates.
Broken a pressure plate.
Broken a hub & also broken a basket.
This time i managed to do the whole fuckin lot in one go.
Not a bad effort eh?
Gunna be an engine out & split cases for the cleanup though which is a bit of a prick.

Oh, & for the first time ever i also fucked the lockup for the clutch.
Thank christ for buckets of clutch spares.
