[shippy__]

who else is keen ?

[Mazabuzz]

If my bike is back together i'll make this

[chubb]

Maybe...

[Marshy]

Hell yeah! :rockon:

[Negrogrande]

Trying to decide if it is worth renewing my race license, last crash set me back almost $2K all up :/ stopped me racing St George

[Marshy]

I think you should take up golf..... ;)

[Negrogrande]

Golf is more expensive than racing, do you know how much those balls cost

[Phat3R]

Keen, just a few thousand k's in the way and the bike's still farked. What do you do when adjustment part on top of one fork is ground down ... can I buyz just one ...???

[Stu23]

yes I believe you can... go OEM and ask

[Tristan]

I'm in I think as long as ASC isn't on around that time

[chubb]

wreckers

[dadat178]

may well do this one, need some track time after missing st george andPCRA for family reasons, have a new toy to play with and set up.

[Marshy]

have a new toy to play with and set up.

Oh you can't just throw that out there without more details, Martin!! C'mon, spill it. Enquiring minds want to know.

[shippy__]

hey marshy any tarmac talk stickers?

wired up my quick shifter with a toggle switch I can show you how if interested

[Marshy]

hey marshy any tarmac talk stickers?

That's a bit spooky! Earlier today I fired up the vinyl cutter and started making some. I'll post up some pics tomorrow. So yeah, we now have stickers!! :peace:

A 'how-to' thread in the appropriate section would be gold, mate, thanks!! :thumb:

Funnily enough not the easiest part to buy. I need one for the gixxer thou forks I'm putting on and ended up having to get the full internals. Might be easier doing the same.

[Phat3R]

Thx Dan, I recall you mentioning something along these lines before. My plan is to cruise Perth wreckers this weekend and begin the rebuild. Those front fairing stays from eBay HK is a complete washout, 3 months and still no delivery , now going through eBay dispute to get my money back. I might milk the west coast for more of my favourite part ;)

[Saturnalian]

Away working. No more riding until Mid April at least......:ohwell:

[dan]

Actually there is one on eBay for $25. Item is in New York.

[Marshy]

If you want a US address to ship it to, you can use my Shipito address.

[dadat178]

Oh you can't just throw that out there without more details, Martin!! C'mon, spill it. Enquiring minds want to know.

she's still a bit shy, got to lose some more weight and put on some make up etc maybe in a couple of weeks she might let me take a photo :)

[James_]

Applying for leave today!

[Marshy]

Applying for leave today!

Good call!! I'd better do the same.....

I have a new toy to play with and set up too ;)

[chubb]

another one?

[Marshy]

It's never-ending around here. I don't have a problem - I can stop anytime I like.

Don't
Even
kNow

Lying

[James_]

haha

[shippy__]

alright so I guess I should book and pay..... whats the procedure ? MA license should be here shortly

[chubb]

Just fax in your form and they will do the rest

[Marshy]

Just fax in your form and they will do the rest

For those of us that have moved on from the 80s, you can email your form to reception@ardc.com.au and the lovely (I assume?) Christine will respond in due course. The form is in a sticky here: http://www.tarmactalk.com/forum/showthread.php?232-ARDC-private-practice-bike-rego-form

[Marshy]

alright so I guess I should book and pay..... whats the procedure ? MA license should be here shortly

Hang on, what did you race on at St George if not an MA licence??

[Mr.Ed]

One day licence like all the cool riders?

[shippy__]

one day license just like a track day $60......$50 of it was deducted from my MA license fee

[James_]

Applying for leave today!

Withdrawn. : (

Have to bend over and do an ECRD instead.

[shippy__]

question

is being a member of st George sufficient for the ARDC entry form ? ( at the top of the form it asked's for a club)

ill just pay the $160 as oppose to $130

[Marshy]

Yes, but it will still be $160 if you aren't a member. But I'd strongly recommend becoming a member! You get a half-priced ECRD track day(worth more than the membership cost), and $30 off each ARDC day. Plus your membership card gets you into most events at the Creek for free - all the bike racing etc, everything except the V8s basically.

[Leezx10r]

Just need to get the competitors one to get the extra cash off a ardc day's

[Marty]

Yes, but it will still be $160 if you aren't a member. But I'd strongly recommend becoming a member! You get a half-priced ECRD track day(worth more than the membership cost), and $30 off each ARDC day. Plus your membership card gets you into most events at the Creek for free - all the bike racing etc, everything except the V8s basically.

I just got my bike competitor membership. V8s, Powercruise, WTA included, only thing that's not is Top Gear Featival. Like you said it pays for itself with the ride day discount. I got to most car and bike events at EC so it'll save me a bundle, especially with the guest pass for my gf.


I'm aiming to do the 14th

[Marshy]

Yeah, I've got the bike competitor one too. The guest pass is tops!!! Worth the extra price of admission alone.

[shippy__]

ARDC has 1 bike entry and that is me...... get your shit in

[Marshy]

I'm def in, but I haven't done my form yet. I will do so shortly. I've already taken leave from work for the day.

[chubb]

I'm still a maybe. It's this or Wakefield.

[dadat178]

still planning on it, just got to work a few things out. when is the last day to get the numbers by?

[shippy__]

..........

[Marshy]

Yeah, it's always the Wednesday two days before the event that they make the call. So the 12th.

[senator8]

If the weather looks OK I'll probably rock up around 10:30am to wobble around, if I can remember how


I'm still a maybe. It's this or Wakefield.

Rancell, what are you doing on internet forums? Shouldn't be playing hide the sausage or something similar?


still planning on it, just got to work a few things out. when is the last day to get the numbers by?

The new big banger?

[dadat178]

If the weather looks OK I'll probably rock up around 10:30am to wobble around, if I can remember how

The new big banger? that's the plan.

all this talk of sausages and bangers Rick, you hungry?

[chubb]

well work dictated that I cant take the 13th off for WP so looks like I'll be doing this instead weather dependant

[DisPlaCeD]

Yeah, I'll get my form in this week. Will check out the weather... Will also do the GP circuit Saturday (currently wait listed).

[dan]

Waiting on work schedule for next week. Pretty sure I'm needed but hopefully my guys fly out early on the 14th and I can have the ute ready and head over. Even half a day would be lovely. I'm booked for 16th as well.

[James_]

Actually, now you say that Dan a half day might be possible!!

[chubb]

Rain rain go away

[Phat3R]

Rain rain go away

Come again another day ... just not tomorrow ... ;)

[shippy__]

I dont see the problem, they are forecasting 5% of dribbles......st george rounds 1 and 2 had a forcast that was worse

[shippy__]

......

[Phat3R]

I just face timed the wife (no that is not a euphemism) - weather looks good in Sydney ... hopefully it's good at WP for you guys as well.

[Marty]

I put my form in today

[chubb]

How many still needed??

[shippy__]

just called they have 3 forms...

its not going to rain 50% chance of 1mm top of 29 degrees

there seems to be a lot of fence sitters, I will call ARDC Wednesday afternoon and make sure the numbers come up

[chubb]

Well I will drop forms in tomorrow for myself and Kelly so that's another 2

I think they will call you if there are numbers. I put in mine this morning... so I was probably one of those 3...

[chubb]

Do anyone know if their tyre machine is available for use???

[Marshy]

Do anyone know if their tyre machine is available for use???

It's definitely not, mate. Madaz is locked up on ARDC days.

Always fun to have a play with the big bikes

[Marshy]

Yep, looking good today, Chubb. I'm gonna have to find some speed to keep up.

[Marty]

Yep Chubb was flying!

[shippy__]

I had a good day

I recently put on a quick shifter and in the process I converted to GP shift, the first 2 sessions were a mess I was worried about being to slow so I was pushing to hard and everything was a mess..... the last 3 sessions I sorta did my own thing and didn't worry about the others I was actually faster this way.

In the 3rd session I did a new PB 210.599

good to meet a few more also

[dan]

Had a great time out on the 99 gsxr600. Starting to get some vibe back after such a long time away. Looking forward to GP tomorrow.

Nice to meet some more lads.

Where did you say you got your name patch from Rancell? That mob in QLD?

Hey guys & gals,

Just wondering if anyone has heard/found/has any pics that were taken at the ARDC day? They are always hard to find, and are few and far between... if anyone could help out & point me in the right direction that would be great! Im keen to get some pics of this one coz i took 22 seconds off my lap time!! (Still a LOOOOOONNGGG way to go to keep up with all of you) but would like to have pics to commemorate personal achievement lol..

Thanks in advance, Shell :)

[Marshy]

Not yet. I was asking on the day if anyone knew who the photographer on T2 was. Anyone else know?

[chubb]

Massive! Congrats

[Marshy]

Marshy's RSV4 has some balls down the main straight!!!

Especially seeing as I was pulling into the pits, then saw it was you going by me on the straight, so got back on the gas and built up some speed again.

Also, far out your R6 is handling well!! It really, really turns sharply in at the exit of the turn, which is something I always struggle with on mine.

[JoeShell]

Massive! Congrats

Thanks Dan. Was a great day, like I said, for me. Still have HUGE amounts of improving to do, but I am finally making a start :)

FINALLY feeling confident on the bike!!! Yay!! Not only did I improve my PB, but i killed my first pair of knee sliders!!!!! WOOOOOHHHOOOOO.... And I mean they're dead! Might be able to remelt some of the plastic and get another day out of them Lol. So stoked, never thought that would happen to me!! Hehe
:) :)

Anyone else have any break through's, or as I call them, Light bulb moments??? I am really Interested to hear about other peoples issues & how they overcome them if you would like to share :)

[chubb]

What issues do you have. ?

You were looking smooth out there

Watched some of those videos before and couldn't believe how well that r6 turned at he end of the corner. Jealous? Me? No. Of course not. Fuck!

[Phat3R]

Yeah, I was super impressed with the handling and the riding ... on railz ... :)

Is that going to be you???

[Phat3R]

Is that going to be you???

LOL ... only in my dreamz! :)

Track day at Barbegello tomorrow ... hire bike ... note to self ... do not bin it!!!

[Marshy]

:cool: What sort of bike is the hire bike???

[Phat3R]

:cool: What sort of bike is the hire bike???

CBR600RR apparently ...

http://championsridedays.com.au/portal/content/view/25/119/

Actual track day <1/2 price of SMSP ... $125 ... which is about the only thing cheaper in Perth than Sydney.

[chubb]

$125!!!! Good value!!

[Phat3R]

There is racing over here at Easter, I should'a sent the new R6 over here ... rather than coming home.

https://mcrcwa.com.au/

WA State championships are in May, so if they extend the contract, might look at shipping a track bike over.

Hey, they're race bikes now mate.

[Phat3R]

Hey, they're race bikes now mate.

Nah ... the old Gixxa is definitely a trackie :ohwell: ... just gets blown away by the newer bikes down the main straight. Spent so much, not worth selling, wouldn't get 1/2 my money back, plus she does handle quite well for an old gal now that Marshy's done his magic. :thumb:

I should keep her for another 20 years ... be good to have a well sorted FI bike when PCRA finally catch up. :flypig:

[Marshy]

I'll pick your good bits off it haha

[Marshy]

I'll pick your good bits off it haha

Isn't it a bit Apollo 13-ish at the moment?

Let's look at this thing from a... um, from a standpoint of status. What do we got on the racebike that's good?

<long pause> I'll get back to you, Dan.
