[senator8]

I'm hoping to get there for a few sessions.
I'm starting to sound like Eddie Lee now - making all these promises and not turning up

[chubb]

Nup bad experience I was a hair away from belting the shit out of the bloke, offloaded my phone and keys to the wife but what would that achieve so I walked away... 20 min later ended up stumbling upon a 08 r6 for 5k 20mins from where I was, it all turned out great in the end

better bike cheaper to Ill throw my own ohlins in it for what I saved

[Marshy]

Nah, fair cop Rick ;)

I did actually laugh, but I couldn't quickly find a more accurate image.... :peace:

I wanted to use the 'I see what you did there' one, but I'd used that just the other day.

Is it a race between you and Nick as to who gets back on 2 wheels first?

[Marshy]

Is it a race between you and Nick as to who gets back on 2 wheels first?

YES!! I'm soooooo tempted to ride NOW, dammit! Against advice, I've just started not using my crutches all the time now around the house, as the foot feels pretty good. The only risk is snapping the bone again before it's properly healed.

I found out what had happened internally, finally. I snapped the large back section of the talus clean off, and there were 5 other breaks of minor bones, hardly worth mentioning. And many bone fragments scattered around, notably in the joint which needed to be removed. A couple of screws to reattach the talus, a bit of scraping out of fragments, and I'm good to go. The moon boot came off over a week ago, and I'm supposed to be moving and rotating everything as much as possible. Just not weight-bearing, so as not to re-break the bones.

All good :thumb:

Dan, how are you coming along??

[Phat3R]

Hey that's good to hear Nick. Good to get the low down on exactly what's happened in the ankle.

So silly question ... if you could resist the urge to push it on the track ... and could find a race boot to fit ... you could go out and circulate in white / yellow ... just taken it easy ... ???

But hard to resist the urge to try and go ever faster ... is that part of the reason I find riding on the road so unsatisfying these days ???

[Marshy]

That's why I simply can't ride on the road any more. I only have two speeds - flat out and dead stop. Err, maybe not such a great choice of words, come to think of it. Let's say 'completely stopped' instead ;)

[senator8]

I'm booked in. See you guys around 10:30am.
It's been a while, so probably plenty of rust...

[Marshy]

I'm booked in.

Can't wait until I'm saying exactly that too :rockon:

Looks like maybe one of the days of the 25th-27th combo, fingers crossed.

See ya tomorrow, Rick. I'm popping out to say hi.

[senator8]

Cool Nick. I'm sure you'll be out there in no time ;)

[shippy__]

See ya tomorrow, Rick. I'm popping out to say hi.

[Condor]

All good, thanks anyways

[Phat3R]

I have a superbike SC2 rear 180/55/17 with decent wear indicators, and an SC1 front as well. Nick reckons they get off the good sticky rubber before they get all the way down.
Also got a set of Q2's I took off bike 6 months ago.
I'll see if there is room to pack them. Or PM me ... I'm at Como in the Shire ... just round the corna.

[BoB]

I'll be out there tomorrow , I have a couple of bridgestone v01 190 rear I will bring along if your interested.

[Condor]

Im sorted thanks fellas, I got one earlier this arvo. Thanks anyways, see yous tomorrow

I know exactly what I'd be like if I went out early.

First session - 'I'll just take it easy, circulate, get a feel for it, no need to push it'

Second session - 'well the first felt alright... BRRAAAAAPPPPPPPPPP, whoops, ouch etc etc

I still can't fit in my new boots yet so it's a bit of a non issue at the moment haha

[dan]

So I put some road boots on and took my RD350 for a spin and it didn't feel too bad. Actually not really much pain. I'll see how I feel later on but good sign!

[Marshy]

ST GEORGE ROUND 1 - HERE WE COME!!!!!

[chubb]

It's only 4 weeks away

[senator8]

Not a bad day out there today. Didn't get silly hot. Good fun as usual in the pits. Got to meet a few new faces.
After being off the bike for only 2 months, I never would have thought I would feel so uncomfortable and sloooow! :(

[chubb]

So 1.58s?

[senator8]

So 1.58s?

No timer today. I didn't want to go home with confirmed depression

[dan]

I'm booked for Jan 27 so I reckon I'll be out there then for a proper go. Don't want to make a call on StG yet.

[Stu23]

Had fun watching and helping Carl out today, thanks to Maurice and Wade, Mark and Rob for spending a bit of time with him.... going alright he is ;)

[BoB]

Good day at the track , did 1st 2 sessions in green to blow off some cobwebs and lube up the rusty bits , then moved to red and had some fun trying to catch a few fellow tt boys. Very close passing with james at t2 .. sorry for the foot massage.. hope you didnt have any more issues with the bike cutting out.

[Turbo]
