Who is it behind me? That was the last race for 600's. I was drained for the last two laps. Wanted it to end, just wanted the chequered flag! And to make it worse, I had him breathing down my neck the whole time, so I couldn't slow down, haha.

[Mr.Ed]

Did you buy that bike with those number/paint job? I'm pretty sure I had some battles with a bike VERY similar to that... down to the number and all. Great bloke too... his aggressiveness when overtaking/defending taught me a lot!

[Jashdown]

^If that was for me, yeah I bought it off a guy named Tim, he raced it at St George last year. Same number and everything still, he rides a blade with the number 58 now, but I haven't seen his name on any of the time sheets this year.

Haha yep, that's him alright. The paint work is in a bit better shape in that photo compared to now! I wonder if I'm any quicker than him :D

[Mr.Ed]

Not sure now... but on that day I reckon his best was a mid-46 or something like that so if you've done any faster there's a chance!

A few more rider and bike evolvement

Nice ... very nice ...

[Saturnalian]

I just look like an unco fuckwit in all of mine. Consistency !!

[senator8]

The year is 1995. I'm living in Cherrybrook and my housemate (yes he was Asian) comes home with a nearly new Fireblade with a Yoshi pipe, top of the line Arai helmet and custom made race leathers with his name and cool sponsors stitched all over. (you must look cool when riding around the local shopping centre)

I was in awe, and hadn't ridden a bike since I was a kid. Not to be outdone, I went and bought some magazines and started researching and looking for the fastest bike you could buy. I didn't know that they should also handle, I just read "the fastest production bike in the world" so I bought a ZZR1100 :thumb:

I got it from the Kawasaki dealer in Parramatta. I didn't know at the time but Wetty worked there :) I arrived to pick up my bike and of course all my new gear with a mate who had just got his rider L's. I still had not ridden a bike since I was a kid and also did not yet have a license. There was a bit of a discussion about legalities with the salesman and the key was handed over. I take 20 mins in the car park working out how to put this gear on etc and then came the comedy act of trying to get it off the centre stand. Work it out eventually and get it started then proceed to wobble literally down the drive onto the street.

I concede and tell my mate I'm too nervous to double you, you'll have to double me. I do go and get my lic and do a stay upright course to learn to ride faster and discovered the track. So I then proceed to turn the big girl into a track bike and decide I need more power to catch the other bikes - custom rearsets, solo seat, big bore kit Yoshi cams, head work and jet kit, thanks.

A little over a year later I'm digging track riding and want something more suitable and lighter zx9b (not)
I ride another year and then park the bike due to business and other things getting the way. It sits in the garage until I sell it and don't touch a bike again.

I'm glad you made in home with the ZZR-1100 Rick! I bought my first bike after doing my 20 Q test at the RTA at 16 and 9 months (the minimum age). I bought the GSX-250S that night & stalled it all the way home.

I grew up in Cherrybrook by the way! Terrorized the place on mg RGV's and CBR-900's. I renewed my L's every 6 months 11 times cos back then you had no points on your L's so you couldn't lose them!

Haha, yes the race tracks around cherrybrook use to be great - nice and smooth. When I look back at not just those days but other stupid stuff I've done. I'm so surprised I'm still here.
I think I may have done the same with the L's for a while :)

[Mr.Ed]

yes kids I raced before digital cameras were invented !!

It shows!!!



On your hair...:fencing:

[Mr.Ed]

Found another oldie!

http://imageshack.us/a/img242/8204/op3m.jpg

[Turbo]

I see your purple Dainese leathers, Rick, and raise you purple Dainese leathers with a matching purple helmet!! I have the same model Gaerne boots as you, but mine were red....

This is 1999, on my '98 Blade at Oran Park.



That's quite the '90s getup, Marshy.... Did you have a matching shell suit? :tongue1:

430

[Rusty]

Well seeing you are bringing out the oldies I dug some of mine out. Here's a few from mid 1994 to mid 1998. Sorry about the quality but they are pictures of pictures.

The first one is 1994 at Eastern Creek on my RGV250 before I turned it into a race bike. I'd been riding motorbikes for a total of about 2 years here. It's funny to look at these compared to the pictures of today.

431

This one is mid 1994 at Amaroo. My very first race meeting. I'm 5th last in this pic.

432

I don't have any from 1995. These next ones are 1996 at the Port Kembla TT.

433

To give you an idea of the size of the Grids back then. This is at Eastern Creek I think in 1996 in the 250cc Production Class.

435

These ones are at Oran Park in 1997 at the 6 Hour. I raced a GSXR750. A mate loaned us his road bike to race at it and we threw some fairings on it and raced in the 6 Hour.

434

RGV250 1997. I think the top pic is Oran Park and the bottom one is Eastern Creek old turn 12.

436

Last but not least, RS125 in 1998 at Eastern Creek. I did about 4 meetings on this bike and then retired.

437

[Rusty]

Ill have to see if I can scan some of mine and load em up.. yes kids I raced before digital cameras were invented !!

I went even less technological then you Stu. I took pictures of my pictures because it was too hard to scan them in.

[Carl-52]

4th ever trackday, now actually deciding NOT to drag the knee :) Can post slider pics as proof of kneedownness :thumb:

[dan]

Noticed that as well. Might be on the way back up? Might explain where the knee is...

[Marshy]

Noticed that as well. Might be on the way back up? Might explain where the knee is...

Nope, that's just the lean angle the bike was capable of - the dunlop fronts were that good way back then too! I love this pic, because it shows how rubbish my style was (and still is!!) on right handers. On the left, I was knee-down everywhere, but on rights I was ALWAYS like this - right knee hard against the tank. I still today have major trouble touching my right knee down. I am forever swapping worn knee sliders from the left to the right, and untouched ones from the right to the left!!!!

[Trap]

Rusty was this a Shell round. If so I think I was on this grid also, up the back somewhere. The grids were big, you had to qualify just for 250 proddies.

To give you an idea of the size of the Grids back then. This is at Eastern Creek I think in 1996 in the 250cc Production Class.

435

I think this is a D grade race at a St George meet in 96. Man the RGV was fun. 6ft 2 and 95kegs was a bit much for bike 72.
448

R1 in 99
449

And some other thing that went ok, race track was a few hundred feet above the Great Barrier Reef. No I am not a pilot.
450


Oh and hi this is my first post, so I am no longer a Tarmac Talk stalker.

[Rusty]

Hey Trap, Yeah it was at an ARRC round. Yeah the grids were huge back in those days. I never went any good at Aussie Title Rounds. For some reason I always went slower at them than at Club or State rounds. Are you still racing or come back to racing? I started again in 2013 after retiring in 1998.

[Trap]

Nah no racing for me, just got back into track days about 12 months ago after 13 years of no bike. Building a house in Newy so fun tickets are a bit short on this year but will manage a couple of track days.

[senator8]

He's not straining. He rides all day in all sessions, stops occasionally for a smoko and then helps pack up. He's an endurance freak!

Thanks Nick. Was good to see you and catch up. Took me a while to feel reasonably normal on the bike. Then after going out on track 6 times on Saturday, I was knackered come Sunday - my bike isn't the easiest thing to hang on to being unfit.
Qualified ok on Sunday alongside Wetty, and if that dude hadn't lost it in front of me on the 2nd lap, I may have been able to play with you two for another lap.
You may have noticed I've fixed my starts ;)

Looking very very good, Ben!! Great body position, regardless of how long you've been track riding, but simply outstanding for only your third day!!

Kinda related to this thread, but ....



Took my R6 to Craig & Marty on Monday (C&M Motorcycles @ Ingleburn) to get Dyno'd + valve clearances checked + compression test + leak down test. Picked her up yesterday.

Results are as follows:

Bike was pumping out 113 hp since I owned it
After checking everything else, all was good, no issues whatsoever, no adjustments needed.

After a few runs on the dyno, Craig got it to 118 hp.

Do i sense a widdle jealousy from other R6 owners? lol

1691

[Mr.Ed]

Hmmm that means my ZX6 is prob not too far off from that then. Never had it on a dyno though

[chubb]

Just a high reading dyno...

[Phat3R]

Great result! Bike looks good too.

And my GSXR750 only read 102HP on the same dyno. No wonder all the R6's would overtake me down the straight.:doh:

[WRCPUG]

So i had an awesome 2 days at Phillip Island last Thursday and Friday. Got a new PB and was super stoked...its slow compared to what you guys are doing but i'm happy to make improvements. I wish i could of gone into the 44's like my optimal lap would be but i'm still too inconsistent.

On the friday i could not repeat those times and was almost 2 secs slower. Don't know if it was a more mental thing or the tyres were cooked?

MStevo, Zooker and I were down there with perhaps a couple of other mates over the Easter period too... :D

1696

Managed quite a few 44's myself and got a new PB of a 44.3. Wasn't what I was quite hoping for but I was still pretty happy! I know where to make the time up. More pissed off I threw the bike down the road end of Monday. Just a bar, screen and some fibreglass and it'll be all good again but annoyed at myself for it.

[Linden]

Easter at Mac Park

[zooker]

Yep had a pretty good three days down at PI. Had a hip issue so couldn't last a whole session but got down to consistent 46's when I could get some clear track (pretty rare even on a slowpoke 600 :P ). Not quite the PB but know where the time is to be made. Was working a fair bit on body position and made a decent improvement by the end of the 3 days.

Ahh i think i remember seeing you guys(were you a big group?)...did you have a big garage booked and where you all from South Australia?

Well done on the 44 thats flying mate. What bike did you do that on? It wasn't a black semi banged up looking R6 was it?

Thanks mate, we're all from Canberra but we were in garages 24-26 had 13 of us I think. All casually lounging on the chairs during riders briefing :P

1700 was the colour scheme for the trip!

[WRCPUG]

yep must of been you guys i kept walking past...nice group of bikes you had there :)

mmm i vaguely remember that black/yellow ZX10...you were in fast group right?

[zooker]

I remember that beat up R6 you're talking about. Super quick and dragging elbow everywhere.

Yep! Bit misleading with my TarmacTalk pic of the old bike still. Wasn't a bad bunch of bikes. My bikes front left of first pic.

Not an instructor or even a fast rider but what really helped me with that was being told to put my right side of the chest on the left side of the tank and vice versa...

It works but it's severely dependent on how comfortable I am on a given corner or not...

[Ruckos87]

Sounds logical I'll give it a go next session

Good tip! I've been saying rest your forearm on the tank, but your suggestion is better!
