Hello Everyone

[Liamo]

Not long home now from what was supposed to be a two day track day at Phillip Island. Speaking with Simon while I was down there. He let me know about this new forum group.

Many may know that I am a member of St George as a D Grade 600 Clubsport hack. I was hoping to get a few more laps in at PI, but I made one mistake at the end of day 1 entering the hayshed. Patched this mess together for day 2, but once I came back in from session 4, my first, for a shakedown, the bike was still leaking coolant.

Been surviving on Voltarin for the last 3 days. Bit of work ahead now to turn this around for the opening round at Eastern Creek 1 February 2014.

Anywho. Enough about me and my inability to adequately control a race bike.

See you all in 4 weeks.

Kind Regards

Liam

Hi Liam,

Sorry to hear ... that's a long way from home.

What's your bike, can't make out from the picture. Post up some shots on this thread as you put it back together. And sing out if you need a hand, people here have bits for all sorts of shit squirreled away.

And ego. Don't forget ego.

Thanks guys. I appreciate the offers of help and support.

This is my 2007 Honda CBR600RR race bike.

The coolant leak was caused by the aluminium water pump feed pipe getting squashed in the crash.
I tried to round it out with a screwdriver and then a socket.
Only session on Friday, day 2, and the bike felt alright, but when I came back in there was a pool under the bike and a trail leading in.

Day off tomorrow. Out to Hawkesbury Honda with my list of broken bits.
Stressing that Racers Edge dont return from holidays until next week, but if it comes to it I may have to attempt repair myself. Im shit at fibreglass.

All part of the learning curve I have conceded. Everyone seems to think that I got away with it rather lightly considering I left the track at about 150kph.

I am determined to be ready for round 1.

Glad your ok Liam and the bike's not too bad either by the looks of it. Hope you get it ready for the 1st St George Round. Don't forget to put water in the radiator, not coolant, when you fix it for racing.
