Ride Day


All in all, a good fun day, bloody cold in the morning, but it warmed up quickly as the sun rose. When I booked in the only place left was in the slow group, so I terrorised them for 3 sessions until they moved me up to medium group which was more fun, as a few people my speed to play with. Still plenty of "mobile chicanes" on their superbikes taking it slow around the corners, and then zooming back past me on the main straight, but braking so hard I could sneak around them on the outside of turn 1.

Ran out of fuel in the forth session, pulled in to mix some fresh stuff, only to find the drum I bought with me was contaminated with water, so had to call it a day. I was the only 2 stroke at the track day, let alone a classic bike, so no one with leaded av-gas to scrounge some off. :(

Peterbourgh Motorcycle Museum

A few pics from my trip through central Australia late last year... Found this awesome museum in Peterbourgh, South Australia. Was quite a shock to see so many awesome classic European 50cc bikes in the middle of the desert!

Its enough to break your heart...

I have driven past this MV in the hotel car park for the last 3 days.
Covered in dust, broken clip on, propped up, paint on concrete... WTF?

New Projects

Well Project Hyosung turned out too tall for its intended owner... So it
has been moved on to a new home, with a few hundred $$ bonus, so not all
bad. :)

We moved on to a Honda CB125 for a while, and now have a newly acquired 87
Yamaha SRX250, needs a lick of paint and a tidy up, but nothing we can't
handle here at Spades...
