Yea, we'll be doing it again. Same question as every year though - "Who wants to show their bike?" Let me know. I can't get any more wristbands so please don't ask as I don't want to let you down. I don't even remember how many they gave us last year? It's a good weekend as Fimp, Rocket and Large will testify, so it's worth the effort. Let me know who intesrested in helping out.

Ok lads, Mark can't make it and I've had no other offers for show bikes. Is anybody willing to bring their bike along for the stand? Hillsy? Evad? Gaz? Zedsled? ...and I know yours in in pieces Pete. Who can come from around Brissy area with a modified bike?

Gix11

09-07-2008, 12:40 PM

No pogo as far as I know. I need some guys for next weekend at Story Bridge as well. I'll post in thast topic now. (To be honest with you I got confused yesterday and I thought I was in the Story Bridge topic here! Mark can't make Story but can probably make GC Show).

09-07-2008, 08:31 PM

si, would the sv be suitable?

pulling the panels off next week for paint, 1 switch to fit, re-trim the seats, and have 2 brackets to make.

piece of piss!

allocated time from the missus ensures it'll be done (she just wants it done so i sell the thing finally LOL)

Gix11

25-08-2008, 05:34 PM

Ok. So who can show their bikes on what days? Let me know so I can arrange a layout. Also who is going to make an appearance?

xb9r

25-08-2008, 07:22 PM

I dont have a bike worth showing but will be there Saturday Ozcats Sat night and Sunday Arvo with the ute if needed I mite be able to give a hand on Friday morning cart gear set up etc

sharky

25-08-2008, 08:57 PM

If my disc bolts turn up I'll be there friday mate.
What time you need us there and 'til when ??

nelpd96

26-08-2008, 11:53 AM

I don't have my bike up with me but I will be heading over to have a look. What is the best day to go?

Cheers
Paul

Gix11

26-08-2008, 04:35 PM

Each day set up has to be complete by 8am. Saying that, guys were bringing their bikes in later than that as we had a spot near the gate last year but I can't guarantee that this year. We're usually allowed back out again at 5-6pm. If it's just you and a bike to display though I don't think it's so crucial.

xb9r

26-08-2008, 07:23 PM

What time do you need people there and do you need a ute I,m always up at sparrows fart so can be as early as you like

Hillsy

26-08-2008, 08:56 PM

I can't make it Si - sorry mate. Tried to get out of my "commitment" for the Sunday but it ain't going to happen.

Not happy, however I will have brownie points for the rest of the year....

No worries Hillsy. Looks like it's going to be very light on the ground - So far maybe 2 bikes ...and that's maybe!
XB9R - should be ok mate, got two volunteers to drive my ute full of gear so I've got it covered. Cheers anyway mate.

Gix11

01-09-2008, 05:55 PM

Here's a few of these from the weekend...

The stand attracted some new guys including this VTR from Brissy:

Huddo did what Huddo likes doing best:

http://www.streetfighters.com.au/forum/upload/298533944170064.jpg

Shayne did what he likes doing best (he took home two of those trophies):

http://www.streetfighters.com.au/forum/upload/29853394481146.jpg

Dave was the official talent spotter:

Paul wondered what the hell was going on:

...and XB9R danced with Shayne in front of the stand:

http://www.streetfighters.com.au/forum/upload/298533944164764.jpg

Cheers for the BBQ Shayne (and sorry about the lawn). 'Cause everyone trashed themselves so badly that night I spent the day by myself on Sunday (fuck that was dull). If Huddo hadn't gotten SO pissed Terry (Mr.Hyosung) would have won the title for sure.

By the way, good to meet you new guys. Cheers for coming.

Does the show go on on the sunday Simon?

Large

01-09-2008, 06:21 PM

btw I really wanted to come but the sis in law was having a baby on Thursday and my nephew is too young to be trusted with me and you drunk cunts.

He'll be 4 next year so no worries eh? :D

Stop with the Simon Shit. Sounds wrong and is gay.

It does if you have to be there like me. Shayne stays in bed with the other hangover jockies.

Sorry its on its side but I've just found out that I can rotate it on my pc but once I upload it it reverts to the way it was filmed, doh!! [B)][B)]

02-09-2008, 06:38 PM

Hey Si it looked like it was a busy day on Sunday aswell :D

02-09-2008, 06:53 PM

Yea, pretty busy, but nothing like Saturday.

evad

02-09-2008, 07:02 PM

ok, I thought it was going to be busier
Is there a way I can turn ozcats bus the right way up?

Gix11

02-09-2008, 08:51 PM

Nah mate. That's been the problem I've had with static cameras taking video for years. Drives me nuts when I forget to leave it straight. If you find a solution let me know - I'm all ears!

zx12argh

02-09-2008, 09:23 PM

Wish I had been there - thats 2 years I've missed. What a pisser.
FYI Si - Try this to rotate your video. Haven't tried it myself but looks the goods.

Did Huddo win a Harley tyre?

BANDITROD

03-09-2008, 08:57 PM

how much power did it make ozkat[?]

The first time the wheel span on the dyno and he got 191, then he took it back and the turbo didn't work at all, so he somehow got best overall (191hp) and best naturally aspirated (170) when the turbo didn't kick in.
