A Little Tinkerin', A Little Drinkerin'

Yeah, I rolled the truck at the start of last May that's what did the damage.

[Guest]

Ouch, that sounds quite scary... don't do that again ok?

[Leigh]

I've had better days, Pete.
But I'm out of the game now.
I'm turning back to Admin and OH&S. Better pay and less damage.

[Guest]

Sounds far less painful to me...

Steve Martin set a 1.40.02 on his Kat today.
I spent 3 or so hours in the hills.
Tonight was a barbie with a few friends and a couple of cleansing ales.

Tomorrow it's on for real.

I'll write it up with photos in it's own thread if you think it's worth it

Pics/info of your ride and the race bikes would be great.
-18C, 25kmh wind and snow today means pics of warm bike stuff are required!

[Guest]

Definitely required! How can you possibly think it's optional?

From the info I saw on mcnews.com.au there's a few kats doing the rounds today as well as XR69's and I belive the RG500 also, nice.

And Steve Martin is quick for sure! I even picked his Ducati up out of the kitty litter in the rain at Queensland Raceway once, then Craig McMartin the race after, same spot exiting turn two.

[Leigh]

What a weekend!
Steve Martin clocked 1.39.something.
That is indecently quick around the Island.

I'm going through my photos and will put something together by the end of the week.

[Guest]

Lots of great pic's on www.mcnews.com.au and looks like it was a blast.

Looking forward to what you have to show for yourself

[Leigh]

MCNEWS has some excellent shots..
I was talking to the bloke in the pits.
The howitzer he was carting around probably cost the same as my house..

Still, I had fun.. I rode.
For the first time since April, I rode.

I'm just drafting up a blurb on the weekend now.
It'll be done by the end of the week.
In the meantime, this should explain just how much fun I had..

[Guest]

Oooh you did have fun didn't you! Nice

[Leigh]

Part 1 is up..
I'll finish it off tomorrow.
There are 220 odd photos to cut through yet.

Nice start on the rambling there

So I see you're from Frankston... that's where my wife doesn't like to admit she's originally from...

And the Bike Me link... are you linked to good ol' Borrie somehow?

Good stuff on the start, can't wait to see those photos...

[Leigh]

I'd like to correct you, Pete.
I'm in Frankston, I'm not from Frankston.

I met Boris through his site and have become quite good friends with him plus many, many good folk.
They are the mob I usually ride with.
