    Was a good day, dry morning, wet afternoon with a drying line by end of day.
    there were a few offs (as usual at track days), and two bikes on fire I think? at least one blew up and went down just in front of me at Goddards, was a bit worried about oil but I kept of his line just in case and then we got red flagged and came in anyway and all was ok, for us anyway ;)

    was a great day as usual :)

    just a quick pic of Me and Paul exciting the Melbourne loop

    yep had a good few sessions,and i dont normally let the rain spoil my fun,but as i think the bike might have sold didn't want to risk putting the wets on.

    was only 1 red in fast group,but uit was a good un' going down craner,1st lap,warm tyres maybe,but cold track(even if you have warmers,on a cold track take a lap to get upto proper working temp),and away they went,1 bike will be going into the skip i suspect but the rider got off lightly i was told.

    Great photo. It shows you've got the balls to give it some in the cold/wet. I'm still working on my mind set, hopefully a few dry days will change it to accept what speed the bike can corner in.
