I have a brand spanking new set of 5yo tires you can try in case he gets out of line though

**Marshy** · 20-05-2015, 05:32 PM

Here, give him these

**Sponge Bob** · 20-05-2015, 07:50 PM

I'm in for the 600's. Hope to pass most of you there 😀. Annoyed about missing the first round,

**Binksy** · 20-05-2015, 07:54 PM

Looks like 600's could be a nice big field this time around. Can't wait for Saturday!

**Carl-52** · 20-05-2015, 09:01 PM

I think i could make that tyre work Marshy... slaloms down the straight to keep it on the edge? and yeh it looks to be a big 600 field this time

**dan** · 20-05-2015, 09:44 PM

Someone must have older than that. Group effort guys!

i just looked for garages etc not up yet

**Mr.Ed** · 21-05-2015, 08:16 AM

I had a look like 10min ago... no entry list, no garage allocation. At least I didn't find them.

**dan** · 21-05-2015, 08:22 AM

I got new tires fitted to the spare rims yesterday, not gonna lie to you... I went for threads instead of slicks and will prob fit wets to the set that is on the bike :(

Unlikely to do tomorrow though... way too much on my plate with moving houses this week.

Yep!!! Looks like probable showers tomorrow morning, then fine (but cold) on race day. I have just fitted wets too, for tomorrow morning.

**Stu23** · 21-05-2015, 09:05 AM

Hmmmm Sneaky practice !!

**dan** · 21-05-2015, 09:24 AM

**simonr** · 21-05-2015, 10:45 AM

is there tyre changing service there at track days?

**Carl-52** · 21-05-2015, 01:01 PM

I think Craig White was going to be there friday and saturday. Not 100% sure for friday, but saturday is definite.

Worth giving Whitey a call to check. Sometimes he gets there late on Friday

**Turbo** · 21-05-2015, 02:51 PM

Thanks mate

Hey Bagger, didn't we draw the short straw with the garage allocation! Pack a lunch to come to see us, fellas. But it was very very very nice of FX to put on our very own class, just for us!! You, me and Ben. Tops!!

**Little Mick** · 21-05-2015, 08:30 PM

Yep, tyre options sorted, but a small sump issue slowed Dan down today......

All fixed now tho, I'm told.

Top day today. It was dry well before lunch, and although it was pretty cold from the wind, there was plenty of grip. Tomorrow is gonna be much nicer. Let's go racing!!!!

Good luck mate, nice to meet you today!

**dan** · 22-05-2015, 07:22 PM

Bloody better be fixed I've put it all back together!

Oh well, better to spend the time finding a solution rather than dodging up a not-quite-fixed and potentially leave drips of oil round the track. Was a shame as after I changed my pressures the bike was on song. New plugs, power commander, appropriate gearing should be fun tomorrow. I reckon I might be close to the high 90s in horsepower now!

Anyone seen a schedule?

Good to hear Dan. Haven't seen a schedule as yet but based on number of entries I would expect retro will be with protwins again

I didn't end up getting on track man, unfortunately!

**Mr.Ed** · 23-05-2015, 04:07 AM

Stay safe and slower than me everyone!

**Little Mick** · 23-05-2015, 06:40 AM

Retro and twins together

Well Goulburn really turned the weather was perfect. Should have some good footage of a couple of the TT crew.

Few crashes today tough hope everyone's okay and that man and machine recover quick!

**zooker** · 23-05-2015, 07:43 PM

Great weather today, good racing too. I had a good run for my first proper race in Retro 600's. New PB dropping into the 1.06's for the first time too. Shame bout the couple of crashes I saw, hopefully those involved heal up quick.

I'll post up a few vids tomorrow. Rear camera was pretty shakey so will have to sort that out for next time.

**Turbo** · 23-05-2015, 08:35 PM

Dan, Brian and Marshy all had a crash. Dan is fine, picked up his bike and crossed the line for the points!
I understand Brian hurt his head pretty bad and went to hospital for observation.
Marshy's just out of X-Ray after his off. Fractured Tib and Fib with surgery on Monday.

**Kris** · 23-05-2015, 08:48 PM

oh shit! :( Not good, heal up guys!!

**Leezx10r** · 23-05-2015, 08:56 PM

Not good at all boys! Hope you all make a speedy recovery

**Turbo** · 23-05-2015, 08:57 PM

Just learned Ben came off too, crazy day!
His was a low side at the last corner, apparently he's ok.

**simonr** · 23-05-2015, 09:19 PM

The sv650 was a strange and bad one. It was on the slow down lap and he went straight on at turn 3. The bike cartwheeled and rider didn't move for a long time. We were well back and he was still lying motionless. Took the ambos a long time to get out, don't think they were expecting anything like that on the slowdown lap.

Hope everyone's ok
