[Marshy]

Hmmmm. Considering the agonisingly long wait to St George round two, the almost certain canning of ASBK, and the still completely daft and un-enterable FX600 (sorry, Supersport) rules I might be tempted to enter this.

[Little Mick]

Real bike prize at the end of it too

What's the vibe on retro 600?

[Mr.Ed]

Same crowd everywhere... thing St.George but different organizers if that makes sense.

[Mstevo]

FXRRC(Sunday) or a PI double header ride days(Monday-Tuesday)????

[JC]

I think you should go to PI Mark :eyebrows:

[dan]

Up to 2005 for 600 retro. Hello!

[dan]

Might have to get my k3 back together

[Marshy]

Yeah, that's why this whole bullshit infighting between the promoters is such a shame.

What kind of bike? Crappy, I'll bet. Why is it that prize bikes are always el-crappo?!?

On a completely unrelated note, does anyone want to buy two brand new Honda CRF110Fs??? Seriously, make me an offer, please.

Ninja 300 cup bike

[dan]

Only two retro 600 bikes at last event at WP in nov. 10 bikes total in 600+retro.

[dan]

Just realised I'm working and can't do it anyway. Bye bye default :(

I reckon they would be fun as!

You gotta figure two little dirt bikes as a prize for a road racing championship has to be right up there with most inappropriate prizes

[Marshy]

Actually I agree. I didn't know that's what was on offer. I reckon that's tops!!

Kinda nuts, right?

Hey, funny story! I said to the Honda dude that dropped the bikes off "Thanks for supporting St George yada yada.... I'm more than happy to run Honda stickers on my bike this season in recognition". His response: "But you ride a Yamaha! Nah, that's ok."

[Mstevo]

I think you should go to PI Mark :eyebrows:
I might do both,,,drive down over night after the meet ;-).....just so I can chase you around WP :-)

[JC]

Yes. Do that lol :-)

[shippy__]

thinking about it!

How would the 600 class for a D grade rider compare to the st George 600's? I ended up 8th in the last race at st George with a high 142 and consistent low 143's

[chubb]

FXRRC are pretty relaxed still like STG

I'm thinking of just having a go myself to be honest!

[Marshy]

I wouldn't normally (I avoid FX events as a general rule) but I like the 'club' style and the prizes on offer - they've just copied from St George (it even says so in the supp regs, several times) which isn't a bad thing - and because of the 6 months to the next St George round, I'm tempted too.

[Mr.Ed]

You'll be fine, mate... might even pick up a trophy there in D grade if you maintain that rithm.

[Little Mick]

reminder to those thinking about it.... Just do it!!! the format will be a function of number of entries so if you haven't got your form in..... ;)

[Mr.Ed]

Do I hear your pen hitting the paper? ;)

[Marshy]

I'm even in for this one.... ;)

[Little Mick]

Good man marshy.
If only Ed...If only...

Marshy, you entering Pro-twins right? :)

[Mstevo]

I might have to put the FZ back together to go have a play with him.

[Marshy]

If Kris still had that race glass available, I'd have entered it already! Anyone got some spare race glass for an Ape I can borrow/buy/rent/steal??

Yes yes! That'd be great! Although I won't see which way you went.... ;)

[chubb]

Don't need marshy. Just tape up the lights and go go go!

[Marshy]

Actually, I seriously would run it with the road fairings if I could enclose the bellypan....

[Spilly209]

Can you fibreglass it? Or maybe bolt some ABS plastic onto it from some other road fairing?? Would be cool to see the Aprilia on track! Make it happen I reckon!

Far out! Looks like it took him nearly a year to do. I don't have that kind of patience, but it looks good.

[Marshy]

Umm, so I was wrapping up for the night and washing my hands at the tap outside, which is next to a pile of fairings waiting to be fixed, and I happened to notice something.....

So I head back into the workshop for half an hour, and suddenly I'm thinking I might be cross-entering into Pro-Twins!!

A few more cable ties still needed (I need to lockwire the sump plug before mounting it up properly), but it's 90% of the way there. It's actually really rather solid! It's got bungs already in the bottom of it too.

Thoughts??

Too easy! Love it, all it needs is a few coats of Matt black & it will look factory! Good work mate👍👍👍👍

[mercho]

Im in for this - 600's

Belly pan looks good Nick! I have seen a lot worse out there lol

[chrispy09]

sick!
my tyre warmers are already on!
so pumped to see this (you on a race on something bigger than a 600, and the noice this sex machine makes)

[Marshy]

Almost. Occasionally I actually go to work, and unfortunately this is one of those days. I'm at the Creek tomorrow on it, so happy days!!

[chrispy09]

go to work... lol

[Baddie]

did you end up setting up to race shift???

And how did it go.

[Marshy]

Yep, easy peasy, as it turned out. I did a bunch of googling (how did we ever survive before the interwebs??) and after wading through endless ads for aftermarket levers and whole rearsets, I finally found someone that pointed out that all you needed to do was turn the gear lever over!! Most importantly, the factory quickshifter still works perfectly.

From this:

In reading further last night, it turns out this is actually a design feature from Aprilia.

In other news, check out the Pro-Twins field.... Me and Chris Perini, and Kris Keen, and Brett Harpur, and even Rob Hodgson on his SV!! It's gonna be fun :rockon: :peace:

Edit: what is Brett doing in Pro-Twins on a BMW?? I can understand the Ape (V-config engine), but an inline 4 is just cheating..... :tape: :peep:

[dan]

Oi there's not enough room for two rattle cans in this town mate

[James_]

Im wishing I planned March a little more and entered this. As highlighted already in this thread, waaaaaay too long between st george rounds.

[mercho]

Looking forward to it. Cant see the garage list posted up yet. Anyone know if its out, I can never work out where to look on the FX site lol

[Spilly209]

Dare I ask why an Aprilia V4 goes in the pro twins class?

Ive had to pull the pin on this meet unfortunately, going overseas 4 days later so just too hectic. Have fun fellas!!

[Marshy]

Dare I ask why an Aprilia V4 goes in the pro twins class?

Because they are uncompetitive in the open superbike class?? TON has changed the rules (and the class name) a few times. It used to be Pro-Twins when it was just Ducatis, and then when they let the V4 Aprilia in he renamed it Pro-Thunder (still for V-configuration engines only). Now it looks like it's really the BEARS class, but renamed back to Pro-Twins, for some unknown reason.

[chubb]

Maxxy max won a couple of SBK titles. :p

Might as well add the Jap bikes and call it 'Pro choice'...


No, w8!!:lol:

[Marshy]

:rofl:

TBH, I never understood why Ducatis deserved their own class anyway. Oh, that's right... it's because they were nowhere in normal 1000cc class!! Remember in WSBK where they just kept increasing the capacity limit for 'v-twins' (ie Ducati) whenever they looked like getting beaten by a jap bike? So Honda fought fire with fire with the SP.

[Mr.Ed]

Given the 'new class' in MotoGP now, I reckon Honda can't be too judgmental of Ducati's antics in WSBK

[mercho]

Garage List is now up on the site

[Marshy]

Exciting!!! I love racing!! :peace:

[Marshy]

Lotta prep tonight. Lockwired everything, oil and filter change, cleaned some stuff, coolant replaced with demineralised water, new brake fluid. Crispy09 was here repacking his 1199 Termi mufflers..... what a shit of a job. Fibreglass everywhere!

Still gotta do race numbers and a few other bits and bobs.

[Little Mick]

Good luck to everyone racing.... should be a great day of play

[senator8]

Same. Good luck all. Hope it's good weather for you

Beautiful weather in Goulburn yesterday!! Sunny, no wind to speak of, balmy high-20s temps. Goulburn at its finest!

Unreal day! Just awesome. Soooooo much track time with 2 classes. I was doing some calcs in my head on the drive home, and I did 2 or 3 laps shy of 100 laps yesterday. The Aprilia is just awesome. Really really awesome. Once I learned how to turn on Launch Control (which rocks, btw), I actually got a good start, and this was my best result. I was honestly much more stoked with a 2nd in this company than winning 600s. And the tyres on the Aprilia were done after race two, so this was on really shagged tyres:

I went down to check it out, looks like a really well run event from where I was sitting. When's the next one?

Nick I can't get over how quickly you've adapted to the ape, incredible.

We had a few longer stoppages during the day which forced them to save time by doing 2 flying sighting and warm up laps(this should be standard) instead of 1 lap grid up..flagged off on 2nd lap(warm up) then grid up and race, As time was short they dropped the last round back to 6 laps instead of 7

2min board and hooter was sounded on chequered flag of preceding race, 30sec board as last racer went past the chequered flag..as long as there were no pick ups.......this is the key to a good meet getting bikes off and on the track ASAP, which forces riders to be on there toes, which is a little easier at WP because you can see the whole track from the wall or the garage door.
