2008 AFR Official Topic

[Gix11]

Ok, it's about time everyone got in on this. The full members have had the run down for a while now and know what's going on but nothing is in stone for me to totally confirm other than we have definitely booked the location (and a few other major parts are about to click into place).

So the story so far goes like this:


If any of you frequent Customfighters, OSS, Streetfighter-MCC or SFOC you may already have seen this. I'll explain to the rest of you why soon:

http://www.streetfighters.com.au/images/events/AFR_08/ASF_AFR08_FP2_screen.jpg

So - It's Casino Airfield NSW:

http://www.streetfighters.com.au/forum/upload/46500115030654.jpg


Why?:
1. The Gladstone boys and North QLD mob have never had the chance to attend before due to shear distance.
2. The town has everything in one small area including a runway that we have all to ourselves.
3. It's close enough for me to take full control of organising the event so I can keep you up to date with all the details.
4. If Phill made it from Perth without a problem to Dubbo I don't think the location is really an issue now do you??

So far the plan is to run the full weekend with events all the way through. I have to confirm all that we are going to do as and when they are confirmed but let's just say this one should be massive.

I've announced it now so that you can make your plans and make sure the time is free and holidays are booked.

Costs? We plan on camping at the site and throwing in as much as we can for the ticket price. It's not confirmed yet but looking to be around $120 with as many runs on the 1/4 mile as you can fit in. There's extras as well if your keen. ...like stunt practise and tuition with the Trix in the Sticks mob, but as I say, this is just the seed. I'll update as and when I get more details.

We can confirm we have organised professional tyre fitters bringing burnout tyres for your bike and burn out photos and comps, Trix in the Stix Stunt guys doing their practise sessions with availability for anyone to join in if they really want to practice or get some tips, 1/4 mile drag strip for best time awards in categories and some competition bikes to show us how it's done, show and shine, possiby trade stands, full camping, live bands at the local, advice on great road rides for groups to go out plus a few more things that aren't confirmed yet - plus it's all in a beautiful beachside town to chill if you really want (or need to throw up or pass out).

Ok, now to why you'll have seen this at Customfighters, OSS, Streetfighter-MCC and SFOC - I'm trying to get them to run the AFR parallel in the states and the UK and so far they are both interested. Also Frank and the Irish boys are getting something together. The plan is to make it an international event - one day of the year where all the Streetfighter clubs/forums/groups get together and just have an awesome time and then report on how it went so that we can all see. A true 'fighter world unity!

So get yourself pumped up, ready and geared and spread the word. This is going to be the biggest yet.
Cheers guys.

Pop tents and big tarps mate. You're all set, lol

Sounds like y'all have a hella big gig planned this year. Trying to get my bunch off their ass and do something this year. The dates for us are still a bitty chilly round much of the US so we are running into a bunch of pussies that don't want to ride till the temp warms a bit. But we'll figure it out.

[Jockney Rebel]

dont the southern states stay warm all year.......get em down south

[Scrapyard]

That would be the ideal solution. For some reason, people don't like to drive/ride. Go figure, LOL.

[Gix11]

Just hope they're not all internet heros mate. Real bike lovers will travel - trust me. They're the ones you want there as well.

[Jockney Rebel]

yep we got guys from 3000miles away make it ......and one from norway doin aus at the mo he came 17000 ks the rides a big part of it

[WarHound]

I will be doing my best to get there. My only hassle is low cash situation at the moment, so I better start putting away the pennies me thinks .. No more coke machine for me at work for a while 8)

[LKC73]

Can this also be a spectator event? I mean I want to go but i have no streetfighter, and most likely just run up there on the R6.But i would really like to be there at such an event!

[sharky]

Yeah c'mon up....mmmm....
We could have our own 'Streetfighter' build off thingumy [}:)]

[WATEVR]

BYO hacksaw and everyone else will pitch in!!!

shit i have to get mine from a dodgy lookin dude down the road ..u maust have a right decent guvnor

[rod185651]

Can I re-ask the question first raised by LKC73, will there be a spectator admission ticket price? Dead keen on going up to watch and socialise.
cheers Rod

[xb9r]

holy fucken shit i have died and im riden to heaven on 27th of march this sounds like the best thing i heard in ages

[Gix11]

We are still trying to get the ins and outs sorted as it's a fucking huge thing to get right. There will be weekend passes, then daily admissions as it stands. Spectator ONLY tickets will be available and also 1/4 mile tickets. Full weekend pass will get you every damn thing plus more!

[sharky]

Its them v-twins mate...rattles the brain cells a round...;)

[xb9r]

How do i get tickets have got time off work and the missus im ready to go

[Gix11]

Still in the organising stage mate. I will notify everyone when they are ready. Probably end of this month or start of Feb.

[Jockney Rebel]

wicked Si as usual uv outdone yourself ..ever thot of runnin for office ...lol btw where this hotel u were on about ?

[Gix11]

That will all get mentioned in the Member's area mate. First dibs goes to full members.

Will I be welcome chaps?

Looks like someone has kindly made me a sig, but I don't recognise the fellows...

Are they Gix11 and Appo?

[puppet]

Count me in. Any undie jump comps being run? I'd like to enter. Ozkat you big Lumix I'll run you (400m) just so that you can tell me what my bike looks like from behind. You big Bell End.

[KRASH]

I'm in... booked my days off today...!!!:D
Looked at the track down too
Has anyone got any ideas on Brisbane South?
I was thinking of Beaudesert to Mt Lindsey to Lismore to Evens Head?
Is it worth the few extra k's to do that?

[Gix11]

Definitely mate. That's the way we go down, through Lismore to Woodburn and then back up. Great roads out that way.

I take it for granted that Gerard and the boys are coming as well? Don't want any gay excuses this time!

[KRASH]

He's not sure yet...
I'll let him think of a gay excuse if he dosen't
I'm doing the ring around to see who else is keen
Either way I'm not missing this year...;)

[Gix11]

Get a good group together mate as it'll be worth it. There's some great roads around and there was quite a big group at 1770 so they should all come along for the ride. We moved up this way especially to help you guys as well!

[KRASH]

Got a bit of interest today...I'll keep working on them...[8D]

[NZSF1]

NZStreetfighters will also run an April Fools Run at the same time. Not quite to the scale of you fellas but a run just the same. As it turns out the April Fools run weekend is the weekend we hold our annual agm so it was easy to just re-name it. Bring it on!

[Jockney Rebel]

Shit mate! I forgot to ask you guys as I thought you might show up here. But seeing as how you have it sorted keep in contact as Streetfighters Mag is going to do a write up of the AFRs all over the world. The Yanks are in, and the Brits plus you guys as well. Do you have a topic for it?

Hey Angel, you don't need to worry about that. I have the Gold Coast Motorcycle Tyre shop boys coming along with their tyre fitting gear plus a heap of old tyres that people can have for burning out then they'll replace your old one after. They are also talking about giving a new tyre to the competition winner.

By the way, these boys are top blokes and really look after us lot, so if you need a new tyre fitted after your ride to the AFR from wherever they are willing to take orders and bring whatever tyre you want along with them for just the price of the tyre (which will be discounted as well) and fit it and balance it for free.

Seriously good blokes!

Oohhh i may just take them up on that - tho by the time the 12 gets there it might be down to canvas ;)

[Gix11]

Just tell me what you want mate and I'll get them to give me a quote. If you like it I'll add you to the list to be fitted at the AFR.

[zx12argh]

Pilot Powers front and rear - I'd prefer a 180 rear if its going to fit the 12r - Very serendipitous - I had planed and budgeted new tyres for the march stage of my build. - Thanks Si!

[Gix11]

No worries Pete. Listed mate. I'll see them after Monday to get a quote.

Also listed is the prices on the AFR advert page of the website. Check it out and let's get the ball rolling.....

http://www.streetfighters.com.au/ASF_fools-2008_ad.asp

[TurboKat]

The ball is officially rolling, I've paid my $1.20 into the ASF account so.... I'm IN [:p]

[Gix11]

The one guy that everyone had doubts about. Excellent work mate and happy birthday for tomorrow!

By the way, please don't stress if you don't hear from me until Tuesday. Long weekends do that too me. All moneys will be accounted for and emails sent to confirm along with indemnity forms.

[megareg]

I'm working on the Missus to be able to get down for one night only...

Is there a "rat bike" trophy??? or a "show and UN-shine"..... I'd probably shit that one in!!

[Mr Hyosung]

I have a couple of runs sorted for the blokes who can sober up enough to throw a leg over a bike. If its anything like last year i'm probably wasting my time. One run will be from Casino to Tenterfield and back. 250k return trip and if you dont enjoy this road you obviously need to buy a coffin and put yourself in it.The other run may be from Casino to Kyogle to Woodenbong to Casino. This ride is for the lads with strong intestinal fotitude as although the road is all sealed , part of it is a bit bumpy, but well worth the effort.All roads are patrolled by the boys in blue, but if you want to go for a blat somewhere find me and i'll point out a few areas that are not patrolled as heavily.

[Jockney Rebel]

ok thanks terry ill be comin in to casino from tenderfield on the fri arvo..bout 2-3pm depending on howfast ican get there

[Gix11]

Terry (MR. Hyosung) is our official ride out master. He will be leading the way at a steady but enjoyable pace. You're all welcome to join in, but any hero stuff or you hitting trees has nothing to do with us. The option is there for you.

Rides will be run both Saturday and Sunday morning from 10am.

[craig]

I'll be there and keen to ride down in a group. I'm bris. southside. May take ute if camping. I'll let you all know couse i'll take gear for any one who's interrested, camping gear! not drugs.

[drewboy]

Hi all, i'm definately coming on this one, just booked a room in town.

Just a question, no offence to anyone who lives in casino, but i've been told it's a bit of a rough place. Is this correct? should i be buying some more bike locks for the zed??

cheers
Andrew

[suxukifreak]

Sounds like a great place to me.......http://www.northernstar.com.au/localnews/storydisplay.cfm?storyid=3761119&thesection=localnews&thesubsection=&thesecondsubsection= [:0]

wow, i was looking for someone to say i was wrong, that fills me with confidence, they might be looking to upgrade to grand theft auto.

[KRASH]

Si...
Any news on the prices of new tyres or have you got the shops info so I can arrange a new one with them
for the ride home....

[fimpBIKES]

oooh, i got me a ticket!!!! :D

im gonna camp i think (with the bike chained to my leg from the sounds of things....)

[latheboy]

Maybe we could go scumbag hunting one night, i reakon the local shop owners would love us..

Sounds like a few people are scared of camping? What wrong with you all. Obviously never been to the TT or a big festival. Once you get a tent village happening it's pretty cool atmosphere. Everyone that's not in the heart of it will miss the action, a bit like trackside camping at the GP in Phillip Island.

[suxukifreak]

This is from my last camping trip....

If your worried about yourself or your bike with at least 100 ASF members all in the same spot at the same time, maybe your on the wrong forum.

[Cruisecontrol]

People are getting a bit soft it seems.
I think I will be in the minority because I rode to the event and then actually camped there!

Next year it may be better at the Exhibition Centre in Darling Harbour so all the softcocks can be accommodated...

[ozkat]

Maybe a teaspoon of cement can fix it.

[Cruisecontrol]

You watched ACA too...?

I'm the opposite, i was thinking of staying else where, but when i heard it was a rough town, i decided i'm definately camping!! I'd rather be camping in a tent next to my bike with 100 odd others doing the same, than staying in a dodgy 2 star motel with my bike outside with a neon sign saying 'rape and pillage me please'.

On another note, just wondering what facilities there will be, i want to pack as light as possible. So far i'm thinking small tent, sleeping bag, change of clothes, and maybe some hygene shit (i usually rough it when i camp).

I'll also be looking for some kick arse streetfighter members to ride down with, i'm in Hervey Bay so i'll tag along with anyone heading south.

thought i'd keep it short;)
cheers
Andrew

[Gix11]

Drew - Ask Krash, Stocky, 03Gixxerpilot, and all the others coming down from Townsville and Gladstone which way they are going as you can catch up with them mate.

Maybe you should check the North QLD "meeting and events" section and see if they've started organising anything?

[Slingblade]

Hello Kiddies.

Well you turn your back for a minute, the site has gone batshit!, new members everywhere and you boys have organised the mother of all parties! !

Nice Work.

Thanks for the email Si. It keeps slack asses like me informed. Email me about membership fee's when you get a chance, it must be due............

Sounds like a blast.

Drewboy,i just had a look at your bike,and it appears you wont be able to keep up with me,so you'd better hook up with Stocky.

Casino is just a typical NSW cuntry town,only poofters stay elsewhere at the AFR,as for hygene...Ozkat has only ever taken 1 pair of spare jox to the AFR and he's still sterile,(is that the appropriate word?)

[Iceman]

If there's one thing I've learnt from the past two AFRs, it's that they's not enough hours in the day to catch up and have a beer with everyone. If you had to take time out to commute back and forth from a motel and spent time sleeping at that motel, you might as well just buy the DVD and watch it at home. The whole point of have a campsite is to unite the masses.

Your probably right, the old Z can barely crack 100km/h. Sorry i didn't know it was a race[:I].

Stocky: It's cool if you dont want to ride with me either, i'm probably too slow for you aswell. I'll find my way there, it's all good!!

Ahh Drew. Welcome to Davo. He's been away for a while but it's good to have him back. He's the biggest piss taker on the board and used to keep people on thier toes. You're not familiar with his work. He's taking the piss mate. He'll be up for a group ride for sure - they all will1

drew Davos got a turbocharged postie bike..aint ya dave ...

I'm working on it......

[suxukifreak]

Speaking of the Bathurst riots, i was there when they threw flaming toilet rolls at the cop compound and some girl got lost and drove through the wrong crowd so thew draged her out and set fire to her VW.

Now THATS camping :D
