Spring is here, it's warming up.

Top temperatures for traction on a closed circuit where we down have to worry about plod, volvo's and other crap.

Who's in?

Suggestions on dates if the poll favours the YES percentage?

C'mon, you know you want to mofo's. :D

Winton for me only, screw the travelling for the big circuits on the little bike...
Better for GPTC and the likes, but a Titanium coloured 990... :twisted:

Winton, and even better, Broadford sound good to me. PI gets a bit pricey, and I'm told the straights are a bit of a tease on the motards.

As of havin ridden all tracks mentioned on all types of bikes ,
winton, broadford are the go PI is a greatb track but unless you can do over 240kph forget the island i have done flat 2min times on an undrgeared exc525,04(15,40) at PI and its painfull to your motor
Winton short track on a motard would be cool as , even long track would not be to be bad i guess with the right gearin and lots of power and broadford is jut plain short on any bike bike
ever ridden a superbike there ???? its stupid and scary!!!
but my answer is yes i will ride anywhere with my brother motarders!!!!!!!
BRING IT ON !!!!!!! hahahaha

Whoot, good percentage so far.
I know Supa4 on the 640SM is also up for Broady when he gets back from the UK.
I'm keen on carving up the infield part of Winton, I like that part of the track.
I have ridden Broadfoard on a 150rwhp Gixxer 7/11 (pics in gallery), it's a short track and tires & tyres you out caning it for so many laps.
Maybe I'm just getting older, fatter and slower. :)
I'll go PI but after a bit of a gearing change suggested by agent 34.
After last weekend my speedo tells my max velocity is 194km's but I think that's a bit ambitious.
Some of you may have been wondering what I was doing going flat stick up that hill at the last part of the ride last Sunday (closed curcuit part of course, of course.) ;)
I wanted to see how fast she goes with stock grearing, I was surprised, I thought it would be only about 160-170.....

I'll start making some enquiries shortly on dates, times and tracks and post the info I get so we can all get organised.

Then there is the dyno day too.... muahahahah

Cheers,
Juz.

You might run into me at Winton with conflicting interests soon anyway ;) ...

Sorry, it was too tempting to see a poll without any "no" votes.

Broady for me, I'm saving PI for the NC30 (like it's any more suitable than the LC4!)
