    "Superbike" racing at Philip Island in Australia.

    A couple weeks from now a large contingent from the U.S.A. will be racing in Australia.
    Joe Weir a member of this site will be racing his Katana.
    Deano Swims will also be on a big Kat.
    Hopefully we can get a report and some pics from any local site members that attend.

              I could not find anything either about the Lone Star Kat.
              No doubt in the next couple weeks more articles/info on the race will show up.
              http://www.mcnews.com.au/ had great coverage on last years race.

                      Just went to a fundraiser tonight for Joe, John and the team

                      You Aussies get down to the races and go by their pit.

                      They'll need help partying after the races

                              Farquhar is a good rider. Saw him ride in the UGP in 2011. Promises to be some stiff competition at the race. I may need to add this race to my bucket list for some day.

                                      What link? Sorry not tech savvy. From what I have heard from joesigns, the whole Tenmoto team has arrived and are preparring their bikes for practice and qualifing. Again Todd if you could fill me in on the link would truly appreciate. JoesBro Dave.

                                          I dug thru the pages again and you're right - no link to watch it

                                          Nice pics on FB of the team's bike arriving at PI today

                                          I thought this event was always broadcast and you could get a feed, I'll look some more

                                                      John McGuinness is riding a Harris Honda but cant recall those tappet covers the engine is wearing. The retangle area is huge.
