Summer Slidin' and Dealer Day 28 / 29 November

[Muzzard]

OK Its on again! :D
Summer Sliding and Dealer Day,
has been booked for the 28/29 November,
Pretty much the same as the Spring Session Sleepover only with more blokes and bikes by then usually.

I will be emailing most of the dealers concerned in the coming days / weeks.
Anyone who has close association with any dealer principles can PM me an email address to be included on the mailout.

Again looking for assistance in the setting up and running of this day to make it as good as it can possibly be.
Thanks to Faz I already have a bit of a head start to some leads.
In an effort to make this run well with limited hassle I am going to ask those wanting to attend to prepay the booking guaranteeing them a position in one of the groups.

The bookings can be made by PM to me
Payment details will be in the return PM

Once your booking has been noted you will receive another PM with your Group Allocation.
Group lists will be published 24 hours prior to the event so there will be no confusion
Anyone that 'blows in' can then be slotted into a group easily.
There will be the opportunity to ride the Friday night session again under lights and use the dirt section,
Those riders that can only attend on Friday night please liase with TT staff regards track fee,
Only those riding both Friday night and Saturday,
or Saturday only,
are to book in advance

More to follow ...

[Twatty]

Sounds awesome!
I'll book once I have leave confirmed.
WOOT!

[Daws]

Perhaps we can get a Qld contingent down for this one - especially if there's a Broadford trackday around the same date.

edit - There's a Broadford trackday on the Friday after so no chance of the double :(

[Flash]

Hey Muzz see if you can organise a early booking discout for all people who pre enter! $5 or so! Might encourage a few to commit!

[tambi]

Isn't it only $50 or so anyway?

[Muzzard]

Yeah Ash ya tight arse.
$50 will get you both days riding and camping if you want to.
I think thats pretty good as it is.
I should charge you an extra $5 to go towards VSMR but I dont.

If I can get to :?: Allan I will,
No promises no pack drill.

[dangermouse1100]

Sounds good, now that Anthony has a drz i have a spare xr250 here if anybody wants to ride it. Not much to look at as you know but is available if a bike-less person wants to have a go.

[Flash]

THATS A PRETTY GENEROUS OFFER THERE DAVE!!

[Fazio]

i should be able to make it for the friday.
i go away the next day for a week, but would love to get some tt action in.
and the bike will be ready to rumble! (and backfire.. need a tune) lol
faz

[dangermouse1100]

Yeah, as i said it's nothing special. Anthony had a ball on it at TT, so if it can bring a smile to someone's dial for the day then its all good. If Anthony cant make it down then may have a problem with transport.

[Wobbly]

Bump.

Given Ash's recent posting ;)

[SMC690]

I've locked it in Eddie.
Just emailed myself at work to remind self to arrange the Friday off. :)

[SlickNCGhia]

i will almost certainly be in for this however with my current musical bikes situation i will have to leave it till a bit closer till the date to confirm.

i had an absolute ball at the last one, i hope to again....just hopefully keep the bike upright...and maybe go round a bit quicker this time ;)

[SMC690]

I'll make a few calls & see if I can get a KTM 690 & a Hyper down there on the Saturday.

[Muzzard]

Sweet,
Use your avatars secret powers ;)

Had a few responses but not too much in the way of pre registering by PM so I can get the admin sorted as we go rather than a mad scramble and confusion as to whats what on the day.

Pull your fingers out and get it marked on the calendar.
First in best dressed,
The missus cant take you off anywhere you dont wanna go,
The kids dont need jackshit on that day,
If its been on the calendar for the last month :D

"I'm going to a track day and looking at or test riding a new Puzey XTR250LCSM,
Possibly a Husaberg 450 to look at as they are all presold so far,
A new Aprilia hopefully and maybe some 2009 KXFs as well,
So like I said family,
I'm off to TT" ;)

More emails out this week and some response already returned from some interested dealers.

For a bit of a change how about a small steel jump like we used at Wodonga on the straight and definitely use the dirt section this time,
Cutting off the track with bunting and bollards each session?
We would definitely need a leaf blower on the day if that was the case
With a bit of assistance we could even have a working bee there beforehand and build another jump on the dirt section after the first 2 berms and as you straighten up to go down the hill ...

[SMC690]

Jumps?
Dirt sections?

What is this nonsense you speak of? ;)

[Muzzard]

Jumps?
Dirt sections?

What is this nonsense you speak of? ;)
Its only practice for the real motarding across roundabouts and urban playgrounds mate,
Oh and golf courses :lol:

[SMC690]

Golf courses are awesome fun, right up until the point when the police helicoper comes and spoils the fun....

Not that I am speaking from experience or anything, lol.

[Wobbly]

Prep the dirt section, but leave the straight unmolested ;)

[dangermouse1100]

Prep the dirt section, but leave the straight unmolested ;)
I agree, i like the sound of screaming tyres too much to ruin the straight :lol:

[SMC690]

But, but, I like the triple apex the bestest!

[Wobbly]

Last time we alternated it around - some times with the dirt, some times without. This also gave a chance to give it a bit of a rest from breaking up and maybe we could do some repacking work in the off sessions...

[Muzzard]

You could still have screaming tyres Dave.
It needs some spicing up to make it a bit more interesting IMO.
Never mind maybe another day ...

http://www.supermotard.com.au/web_galleries/Wodonga200305/images/Muzza_750x563.jpg

Props to whoever took the picture :lol:
It took a while to get the bike balanced on the rear tyre like that

[dangermouse1100]

Think the old dr would leave craters in the track jumping off that, :shock: interesting but. :D

[Muzzard]

Ash's 950 would cop this little one Dave.
Wait for the next little venture into the world of UrbanCross SM and the use of MX based sidecars as well :P
Thats another thread and day /time though...

B.O.T then,
No steel jumps just the dirt section,
So get your jumping gear on whatever they may be or look like :lol:

[SMC690]

That jump would make it interesting if we reversed the track and forgot to turn it around. ;)

[MarkeeMark]

Fug That! Bring the metal jump I say :twisted:

Also I was thinkin now that the dirt is back in action we should put a nice small set of doubles in the 1st straight between the 2 berms, nothing big just some variety. And on the line parallel we should flatten the mini/baby whoops and tiny jump just before the small berm on the inside and put in a small dirt ski jump right in the middle!
Thoughts?

All that's needed is some effort, a wheel barrow or 2, a couple of picks/mattocks/spades and we'd be done! Who's with me?

[Muzzard]

... With a bit of assistance we could even have a working bee there beforehand and build another jump on the dirt section after the first 2 berms and as you straighten up to go down the hill ...
You missed this bit did you Mark,
I know your tired and had a great day so ;)

[SlickNCGhia]

just when i thought "next time i definetly wont crash, even with a new bike i know that track now and where to take it easy".... i can see myself now lying twisted in the dirt somewhere on my new pride and joy.... :(

dirt sounds fun ... but the only experience i have with it is cleaning it out from underneath my fingernails...

any chance of a very learner friendly dirt practice session somewhere before i have a crack with a bunch of shortstrokes flying all over me.

[MarkeeMark]

Ben just find a quiet dirt road in the outta suburbs with a few open corners and go riding on that. That will give the feeling of riding on the dirt the rest just comes with practice.
Just remember smooth, smooth, smooth on the controls...........brakes, throttle and clutch.
Don't worry about the jumps you can easily roll them.
And riding on the dirt will definately teach you to ride with your leg out!

[Flash]

I'll be there to help if I'm not riding!

I'll see if I can get a leaf blower sorted too.

I like Neils idea of having mixed sessions. ! with dirt and jump on with out and maybe change the direction as well. I'm sure most will prefer to wear both sides of the tyres!

[SMC690]

Yeah, mixed sessions sounds good to me too.

I have already put in for the leave on the Friday so I can get new tyres in the morning and head over in the arvo.

[Wobbly]

Don't sweat the dirt section mate, its pretty tame, and even a lame-o dirt rider like me can make it around without falling off (too much) :lol2:

[HyperGez]

As usual, it's my weekend on at work. I'm asuming saturday is the main day at TT like last time?
Might have to start feeling sick then ;)

[Nerb]

I was out having my anual Hotham ride the following weekend, but after reading this i might have to piss off the missus my making it 2 weekends in a row.

[SMC690]

Don't sweat the dirt section mate, its pretty tame, and even a lame-o dirt rider like me can make it around without falling off (too much) :lol2:

I'm not, I just like the tarmac. I crashed there one night in the rain 6 times coming off the dirt (mud) onto the tar on GPR70's on the TTR then rode home, lol.
I suppose its either just a little bit of mental scarring or brain damage, or both. ;)

[Flash]

:shock:

[SM93]

hahahaha ur getting soft Juz, get the ttr back!!

[SMC690]

hahahaha ur getting soft Juz, get the ttr back!!

Bend over and hold your ankles, I'll give you soft. :P

[SM93]

it u could get it up over me bent over like that u must be Ash hahahaha

[Wobbly]

:lol2:

[SMC690]

it u could get it up over me bent over like that u must be Ash hahahaha

Viagra, a blindfold, some hot waxing & nice perfume.
But then again I'd still know in the back of my mind that you are a Honda rider after all so the viagra might not work. :P

[SMC690]

I forgot about the Buell, the viagra definately wont work, that, combined with the Honda would like trying to get a mongrel over Kath & Kim.

Back on topic... :P

[SMC690]

It's now a facebook event too with 40 invited including Rapid Bikes magazine, KTM Richmond dealership & Ducati Melbourne, Steve Brouggy of Superbike school, Dan Rotman of Motorcycling Australia and heaps of others.
Pass it on to your friends to help put us on the map. :)

Event here: http://www.facebook.com/friends/#/event.php?eid=35486690893

Cheers,
Juz.

[Wobbly]

Nice one :!:

[SlickNCGhia]

the link dosent work for me juz, but well done spreading the word

[Daws]

didn't invite me ya fooker ;)

[Wobbly]

Better get your van loaded :D

[Nerb]

it'll be a slow convoy around the track! Bumper to bumper

[Flash]

If we get enough interest we may be aboe to hire out the track! Maybe even put some cash in the kitty for the club!!!

[Wobbly]

I think paul should drive down in the van, then race the van around the track.

We did that at broadford once. Backwards. With deck chairs set up in the van. Happy days :lol2:

[SMC690]

didn't invite me ya fooker ;)

Did too!

[Muzzard]

I'm offline for a week or so until Telstra sort out the shit again...
FFS!
Anyway,
Until then anyone with bookings send 'em into the PM box but dont expect a quick reply although you will get one.

Any bookings can be also taken by phone,
PM Justin (SMC625) or Mark (Markee) for a mobile number if you dont already have it.

[HyperGez]

This is shaping up to be a big day. :up:

[Muzzard]

Sounds like its shaping up to be a good day Gerry but with only 2 riders prebooked and 1 asking regards coming along to spectate,
Its not gonna be a big day.

If there isnt some responses in the coming days people will miss out.
In an attempt to get everyone some value I asked for prebooking to organise grouping in advance and that makes it easier on the day to slot in new riders or people at the last minute.
I dont want to be doing the spreadsheets on Thursday night the 27th either.

PM the bookings or run the risk of missing out.
There is only a certain number of bikes that can be on the track at one time and more than 3 sessions of bikes your waiting a while between sessions and standing instead of riding.
We had 25 turn up last time,
It will have to be capped at 30 reasonably (3 groups of 10).

[HyperGez]

I'm one of thoes two mate. If not, then it's three. I'll definately be there. Organised the day off work already.

[Woolf555]

I'll be there but can't commit to a riding spot just yet as the 250F is up for sale. If I can sort a bike by then (which I'm hoping to) then I'll be two-stroking my way around. :)

[albonator316]

I'll be there but can't commit to a riding spot just yet as the 250F is up for sale. If I can sort a bike by then (which I'm hoping to) then I'll be two-stroking my way around. :)

More details please dean :D

[Muzzard]

Needed a bit of a bump I see as there are now bookings flowing in.
When you PM me please inform me of which day / if not both you are intending to ride.
I will PM you banking details in the return for those booking for both days,
All others riding only one day will still need to book, but pay TT on the day as per the usual regime.

[Woolf555]

I'll be there but can't commit to a riding spot just yet as the 250F is up for sale. If I can sort a bike by then (which I'm hoping to) then I'll be two-stroking my way around. :)

More details please dean :D

All a bit up in the air ATM. When I know, I'll let you know :lol:
Gotta see what I get for mine, and then decide whether I want a 125 (to be later made a 150) a KTM 200 or a 250. All I know is it's gonna be a 2-stroke because I don't have the time or money at the moment to keep maintaining a 4T when I'm not racing atm anyway, and the 250F is so damn easy to ride I'm actually just bored with it (and I can't afford a 450 that's not about to drop its engine). Need that 2t challenge again.
A friend might be buying the 250F, if not I'll post it up on a new thread soon. ;)

[SlickNCGhia]

go the 200, as light as the 125's but more balls :). or the 250 :)

those 125s go alright though. :oops: but i got him in the end :lol: 8)

[albonator316]

yes you got him, only cos he fell off :lol2:

[SlickNCGhia]

yeah but i worried him off 8)

ok hijak over

[Wobbly]

I'm about a 75% at the moment - just waiting to hear back from pete on the gearbox / selector prob.

[Muzzard]

All I can ask is as you become aware of an availability to attend contact me by PM as well as post any response here in the thread.
If you are making payment for both days sessions please include your username on the deposit so I can match up peoples payments,
Along with a PM when the payment has been made

All is good :D

In Melbourne Monday / Tuesday and will be extending the invitation to a few more dealers and associated businesses directly then as well.

[Muzzard]

Also calling for anyone that is not riding and would like to be involved to help keep the pits organised / try to keep organised so riders are ready to start their session.
There will be rider group lists on the pit fence as well as when you sign on at TT.
You can swap groups on the day if you want to as there is no particular order for how the groups are structured basically by how the bookings come in although it would have to be on a 'one for one basis' to keep the group numbers capped at 10.

[Wobbly]

Ok, just got the bike back from Peter at Road and River and should be sweet to go :up:

PM me your details muzz and I'll pre-pay for the 2 days.

[Muzzard]

Done,
Thanks Neil ;)

Just this minute off the 'au de cologne' with Richie from Valley Force Husaberg.
Guess what I'm riding on the track day then :D
No not a 570 but the 450 as Valley Force now have 'emselves a demo bike.
Matt is coming again on the SX125 and with his new wheelset as well.
Looking to be a good day.
A new 2009 Kawasaki would be good to have there too ;)

[Woolf555]

Just spoke to Brian at Hands On Kawasaki. He's very keen but may have something on that weekend already. Willing to give some support but he doesn't have any motards ATM to take out there. I told him you might drop in there Muzz. I haven't had a chance to get to Bike Mart as yet though.

[Muzzard]

Will be there tomorrow afternoon Dean.
Thanks mate.
I spoke to Richie this morning and there will be the Valley Force Husaberg demo 2009 450 with the new revolutionary laydown 70 degree cylinder fitted with Richies wheelset.
Young Matt is back again too for the smallbore 2 stroke fans on the flying SX125 now with his own wheelset and tyres :P
Good on ya Matt ..

I get the impression there may be an opportunity to 'bike whore' the 450 but please limit that to if you are seriously interested in a purchase rather than for the sake of doing it.

Have had nothing from Puzey Australia this last week regards the availability of the XTR250LC that was discussed as being made possible to look at / test.
I will again ask what the G-O is there this coming week.
Shade is again going to be a factor and are seeking input / assistance there too.
I will ask Richie to bring the Valley Force tent that Sibbo used at Calder Rd6 again, no doubt he will anyway,
and ask anyone else to bring what you have available.
Mark has usually been the man to always come through with a tarp etc,
I have had the tent repaired again and there will be a large tarp setup with poles in the gravel area adjacent to the fence for us to rest between sessions.
Hopefully someone will come to the party with a drink promo and have sent out a few hints to attend to several parties ;)

Only a couple of weeks to go so if you are planning on riding either day get the PM in now.
Dirt is on the agenda and rotating direction on the morning and afternoon still including the dirt to even up tyres
Cheers ... ;)

[SlickNCGhia]

Done,
Matt is coming again on the SX125 and with his new wheelset as well.


then i will be there with my ktm....who's got the power now? :lol:

pm the details and i will get back to you when i can be 100% sure that the chrissy party is on sat night not fri night.

Done Ben,
Your booked as a TBA.
You have PM ;)

[Flash]

I'll be there to help at this stage but I'ld like to ride!
If I miss out I miss out but I'm hoping something will change!

[Muzzard]

I'll be there to help at this stage but I'ld like to ride!
If I miss out I miss out but I'm hoping something will change!
Come on Ash,
Some roadies on the OEM YZ 125 skinnies and carve around,
You wont be alone ;)
Or you could just ride the 950 and not be so friggin' gay :lol:

[Flash]

I'd love to ride the 950 but not until all my stuff arrives for it!

[Woolf555]

C'mon Ash, I'm likely gonna be on a 125 and may or may not have 17 inch wheels by then. Looks like we could have a new 125 class now! :D

BTW Muzz, I saw Valley Force is selling Puzey's now, no motard version in the shop though. Any way you could organise one through them?

[Flash]

sooo what cha doing with your wheels??

[shane]

sooo what cha doing with your wheels??

what ever you do dont ride the 125 Ash you will fuck it 125 2 strokes do not like SM at all , keep it where it belongs in the dirt

[Muzzard]

Who's been on the crack pipe today?
It was all that was getting used up til about 2002/3 here in the Lites Classes.
The Muldoon Kawasakis were fast and reliable.

[Woolf555]

TT is such a small track with a short straight though, I don't think there would be too much of an issue with running a 125 there. I wouldn't want to go anywhere that required screaming the crap out of the things, like Calder was. Since there's no where else to ride in Vic atm that's why I'm considering running one just for a bit of fun. Having said that, I ran my RM125 on standard rims at Bairnsdale and Cobden rounds back in 05, running two classes virtually back to back and I was revving it too hard for too long and seized the bottom end in the last race. It was a three year old bike by that stage though too. Flipside was it only cost me $350 to repair though, not like some of the massive 4T rebuild bills goin' on around here lately. ;)

[Woolf555]

sooo what cha doing with your wheels??

Probably selling cause I dont think I'll be getting a YZ this time (there's not many 05's or later around). Already some interest in them though -

[MarkeeMark]

I visited A1 in Ringwood today as I was in the area and invited John Buskes along again.
He said he's got an Aprilia and a Husky he wants to bring along to have a ride of himself.
So hopefully there'll be another few bikes to peruse and maybe even test ride if you ask nicely.

John has said a lot of things about coming out to GPTC / TT for a few years now.
I was in Ringwood today too and spent my minutes silence at 11am holding up cars at Ringwood Rd lights while they did the service at the clock tower.
Damn good timing I thought ;)

Called in on Richie at Valley Force and also with Bryan from Hands On Kawasaki next door.
Nice bloke,
Anyone need / looking for a helpful and friendly 'Team Green' dealer ;)

Rich has some deals on 2008 BETAs if anyone is into them.
KTM motor top range frame fittings in both 450 and 525 variants.
I likey the 2009 450 for sure :P
Puzey XTR250LC as well on the shop floor so hopefully we might convince him to cart on over for a bopeep as well.
Not bad from what little time I had to look at it so far.

[MarkeeMark]

Muzz I know what you're saying. So I asked again anyway and we'll see just how interested he actually is.

[Flash]

it would be good to see a puzzy down the track I'd love to see how it goes!

[Muzzard]

it would be good to see a puzzy down the track I'd love to see how it goes!
Contact Rich and ask that one be brought as well the more voices asking the more chance of success in seeing one used.
I did mention to him that there was some initial interest and blokes waiting to see it in the flesh but are after ADR compliant motards that he hasn't got ATM.
Same bike different wheels ;)

[cEaseR]

Hey Guys,

As a new member to VSMR I am very interested in events like this 1. there are a few of us up in bendigo who have recently been converted lol.

is there anyone who can give me some more info on the event ?

Thanks

[SlickNCGhia]

Ok im locked in for the saturday. Just goto get katie all shmick...i cant wait.

i will be the orange think passing you on the back wheel :roost:

That will get passed again under brakes....shitty 260 :(

cya then
Ben

oh more details on the first page or check out the september sleepover thread (the previous one) or pm muzzard

[Wobbly]

For some more info on TT (directions, address, etc) have a quick look at the trackday announce thread:

http://www.vsmr.net/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&p=15967

[Woolf555]

Went in to Bikemart today and was lucky enough to catch up with Brian who was dropping in on his day off. Once again he has stepped up and donated a pair of gloves for whatever we want to do with them. I told him the last set went to the best crash and he was happy with that :lol: .
Same type but this time in medium, but he can exchange for whatever size fits. Also got the banner again for a bit of promotion for him.

I also went and saw Scotty and Donny at Scotty's Dirt bike spares. Unfortunately they have no Gas Gas motards to bring out, apparently theres no 09's in the country, and all of the 08's went to Sydney. Donny is looking into getting a set of wheels for his 300 Gas Gas 2t he's recently stepped up to so he was keen to come out.

[SMC690]

i will be the orange think passing you on the back wheel :roost:

Talking yourself up like that will only end in pain, humiliation & another set of free gloves Ben. :P

[Muzzard]

Nice one Dean.
Brian has always been a keen supporter because he knows the bulk of blokes on here will sooner or later end up in his store.
Cheers Brian ;)

Good to have a few more of the Ringwood dealers involved and can only lead to better things.

I am discussing the option to hold another special track day there soon with a few man made obstacles,
Steel / scaffold jumps ;)

[Muzzard]

Only a week to go and only 6 riders on Friday night and 13 for the Saturday so far.
Please indicate if you have any intention of attending on either day undecided or not, so I can sort out some regime for riders with TT staff.
If you dont come it just means there will be less in that group and it can accommodate another rider.
It will be no doubt last minute that Bear and the Surf Coast Crew hook up and land enmasse so that should fill 2 groups of riders pretty well.
I prompted him through Facebook today so hopefully he will remember


Weather,
Should be good although there is showers leading up to it.
Hopefully we will swing a decent day out of the 2 and even better to be both :D

[SlickNCGhia]

i will be the orange think passing you on the back wheel :roost:

im only there for the gloves lol.

[Woolf555]

I may be able to put some roadies on the standard rims on the KX125. I have a set I used on the RM a few years ago. But how good would tyres be that have sat under my house for 4 years? :?

[albonator316]

they will be fun tires ;)
Shouldn't be too bad for a 125

[Flash]

You have obviously never ridden a 125!!
A shit load more peaky than a 500!!!!! They make 250s seem smooth!

[Muzzard]

Round, Black and hold air,
All good Dean.
Its a dirt session weekend anyway so the overall 3 apex is now gonna be a single apex and a hairpin onto the dirt.
You will be fine after a few laps to soften 'em up a bit ;)

[albonator316]

You have obviously never ridden a 125!!
A shit load more peaky than a 500!!!!! They make 250s seem smooth!

you got me there :D
I was going on the ktm125 that was at the last vsmr ride day, seemed pretty smooth.... although he did come off once or twice ;)

[Flash]

I have ridden the 125 on the asphalt a few times and it's nasty!!!! Fun but nasty!!

I'm trying to find out the most sticky tyres I can get for the standard wheels atm

[albonator316]

sounds good! nasty is all ways a bit more fun :)

[SlickNCGhia]

i forgot about the dirt....maybe i should bring my knobbies lol

[Flash]

Yeah it is!
But it's frustrating when people just get so much drive and pull away from you though

[SlickNCGhia]

Yeah it is!
But it's frustrating when people just get so much drive and pull away from you though

ahh grasshopper try hussleing a 210kg beast around there at 124.7% through the corners only to have them pull away on the straight...then complain about drive lol

[Fazio]

hey fellas,
been in touch with my contact at redbull again and it looks as though there will be a couple of cases and maybe a visit from the redbull girls at the track, so should be an added bonus

faz

[Muzzard]

Nice one Alex.
It went down well last time :P
Nice to see a little RedBull car pull in there during the Saturday if they can swing it.

[SMC690]

maybe a visit from the redbull girls at the track, so should be an added boner

Sweet!

[Wobbly]

Dean - what sized axles does the 125 run? I've got a spare set of DRZ wheels sitting in the shed doing nothing...

Yeah me too only they are 250 ones that would bolt straight into a KDX I reckon,
17 and 20mm axles
Go figure ;)

[Woolf555]

I'm not sure what axle size they actually are, but it's slightly larger than the YZ's. I tried putting the YZ wheels into it and there was no way they were going to fit. When I tried to put the axle through just to sit them in there I found the KX axle was slightly larger than the Yamaha hub. :?

Thanks for the offers guys. It's all good, I can just run the skinnies for a bit of fun. It will give me an idea as to whether I want to go and get a full set of 17's for it or not. I just wont be setting any lap records. Me and Ash can just have our own little competition ;)
I think its good to have some standard wheels running around because shows interested riders that you dont have to spend a heap of money just to have a go and see if you like it.

I'll be there but just not sure what time I can get out, depending on what the missus is working that weekend.

[SlickNCGhia]

I just wont be setting any lap records.

i dont know, a tight slow track like TT and throw in the dirt section....i reckon you guys could be right up there.

[Woolf555]

Actually, the 17's work better all round, even in the dirt because of the increased contact patch. Thin slicks will just wheel spin even more. Maybe I should just leave the knobbies on and at least get through the dirt at a decent pace :lol:

[SlickNCGhia]

yeah thats what i was thinking lol.

but doing just the road circuit on 17's you could get through the tripple apex pretty quick on something like a 125

[Flash]

Yeah it is!
But it's frustrating when people just get so much drive and pull away from you though

ahh grasshopper try hussleing a 210kg beast around there at 124.7% through the corners only to have them pull away on the straight...then complain about drive lol

I know what you mean. I was hastling and beating most of the light bikes with slicks on the 610 with distanzias

[Flash]

There's a few spare wheels around hey :-k

[Woolf555]

yeah thats what i was thinking lol.

but doing just the road circuit on 17's you could get through the tripple apex pretty quick on something like a 125

Yeah, you could get around pretty well through the tight left/right at the end of the straight too, and also through the narrow dirt section. I'd love to throw a full set on and I've seen some good KX stuff on Ebay lately, but I've just got to decide whether it's really worth spending that much just to ride at TT occasionally.
Got to sell the ones I've got first anyway.... right Ash ;)

[Flash]

HAHAHA!

[Muzzard]

Ash and Sibbo are brothers so dont like your chances there Dean :lol:

[Wobbly]

Ash, if you want to try fitting up my drz wheels you're welcome ... they probably run the same axle sizes :?:

[Flash]

hahahahah check your pm!!

[Woolf555]

If the DRZ ones don't fit Ash, I will be bringing my wheels out to stick a sign on if they don't go between now and then. You can slot them into the YZ for the day if you want, as long as I get a few laps to see how they feel on a 125 ;)

[MarkeeMark]

Spoke to Chas Hern today and he said he'll be there next week on his CRF450 as well as his girl on her CRF250.
An invitation has been also extended to Shannon Johnson to attend but he does not have a Supermoto to ride atm.
Lets hope the weather holds out for another great day. :D

[SMC690]

Kewl, we have 14 confirmed on the book of faces event plus the others that are coming that can't face the book.
I have Friday off and am getting a new rear hoop for the occasion, let's hope the weather is better than this weekend! :roll:

Better shoot through a cut and paste of the interested parties through the Facebook entry Justin.
How many are riders actually riding as opposed to spectators,
Any idea?

I'll add Chas and GF to the list for Saturday then ...

Of course mate!!

[Grizzly]

Ash, if you want to try fitting up my drz wheels you're welcome ... they probably run the same axle sizes :?:

Neil, I'm still interested in your wheels if noone else picks them up. Don't hold them for me though. I still need to find a bike first :(

[Wobbly]

No worries mate, Ash is just borrowing them for the weekend :)

[SlickNCGhia]

do you/we/i need a tail and brake light on the track?

i know i didnt have one last time and no-one said anything just wondering. If i would be doing the wrong thing.

i dont have the tail light assembly together as i am assembling a mamoth one for RWC.

[MarkeeMark]

No mate only to get you there if you're riding on the road!

[SlickNCGhia]

im not riding in this time than god....ill leave the spannering for at home

and if i crash

cool...i dont think anyone has to worry about me braking too suddenly anyway with the 260

[MarkeeMark]

Yeah mate the less shite you got hangin off ya bike, the better in a crash.
Plus we'll know when you'll be on the brakes cos it'll be half way down the straight while we're still on the power!!!!!!!!! LOL

[SlickNCGhia]

ok what about a catch can. didnt even think about it till just then.

dont have one, didnt last time.

will obviously make one up for the future but just havent got around to it yet

[Muzzard]

RedBull are gonna bring you one by way of Alex ;)

[dangermouse1100]

Weather forecast is for rain but i have missed so many days that i dont care. Lets just hope we get a bit of dry time to slide and make some noise :D Even the Mrs and all the kids coming to this one :D Currently, i am putting the xr track tires on to Anthonys DRZ so should have that finalized after work tommorrow. Will be interesting as it is running 14 / 47 so he wont be using 1st or 2nd gears.
Exciting :D :lol:

[Muzzard]

I saw it too Dave and are up for it all the same.
The only amendment I see taking place is the deleting the dirt section if its too wet as it drags clay a far way round the track.
It drys pretty quick as you know and 40KPH winds will sure help.
Tents are a problem though and I just had mine fixed too from last time :cry:

CYA there ...

[albonator316]

if all else fails, sliding around the wet track in go karts :D

[Muzzard]

if all else fails, sliding around the wet track in go karts :D
Quite possibly on the cards :lol:

[dangermouse1100]

Have to see if we can borrow the double, sure 3 little boys would love it :D

[Muzzard]

This is the rider lists for the coming track weekend those riding Saturday.
No particular order for grouping except the small bore bikes are in group 2 together.

Remember which group you are supposed to be in so we can all have a reasonably hassle free day.
For those camping inside Friday night there is a shitload of wood cut thanks to Greg.

CYA there :P

[SlickNCGhia]

i mustve been boasting too much...you've put me in the fast group :(

its always embarassing to be the slowest out there :P

forecast is for "Scattered showers"

I reckon it will be fine.

[albonator316]

Ben you can always cut across the grass to regain time :D
not advised if wet though :lol:

[SlickNCGhia]

i will just do a sneaky and cut through the cones and avoid the dirt section all together

[Woolf555]

Hey Muzz, did you end up getting those new Bridgestones in time, or will you be running my old Maxxis this weekend?

[SlickNCGhia]

im gonna stick with 14/44 only cause the bigger chain is fkucked and i dont have time to get a new one.

not long to go now :D

[Muzzard]

Hey Muzz, did you end up getting those new Bridgestones in time, or will you be running my old Maxxis this weekend?
The Bridgestones came Dean so if you need the Maxxis yourself no problemo

[Fazio]

might need someone to pick the red bull up tomorrow night, im off to byron bay for a week on sat morn and dont know if ill be able to make it down in time with the stuff (redbull coming later afternoon)

will try my best but was hoping to get down to the track early

[Muzzard]

Pickup from where Alex?

[SlickNCGhia]

maybe the redbull girls can bring it? :D

do redbull make big cans like mother?
i think i saw one somewhere. but i cant find them
it just dosent look right with a mother suspension cover

[SMC690]

*** mmm, evil Jägermeister thoughts ***

[Fazio]

pickup from my place in hawthorn,
they should be delivered late afternoon, but i was planning on going early to
a: help set up,
b: get some help on my bike,
c: sneek in a cheecky ride before i go on holidays

rb girls probably wont be going, but should get the merchandise either way!

[Muzzard]

Its all good mate.
There will be someone able to collect them,
If not myself tomorrow night.

[albonator316]

don't forget to vote before or after going to TT
bloody elections...

[SlickNCGhia]

vote? wtf?

actually ive been gettting pamphlets ...do i have too :8

[albonator316]

no you don't have to if you are happy to give em the 54 buck fine :D

[MarkeeMark]

Faz I can grab the RedBull if you get stuck.

[Fazio]

cheers fellas,
ill let you know here, should be getting to mine around 4 i think
muzz what time you getting to the track,

mark, i can prob have someone drop it at yours as you live near by to sae you some time.

cheers

[Woolf555]

Hey Muzz, did you end up getting those new Bridgestones in time, or will you be running my old Maxxis this weekend?
The Bridgestones came Dean so if you need the Maxxis yourself no problemo

No, its cool, don't need to use it. Just if you can bring it down if you don't need it. PM sent. ;)

Also, you can slot someone else into my spot on group 2 if need be. I wont be slicking up the KX125 cause I've got a dirt ride early Sunday morning and wont have time to do the tyre changes. I'll only be able to get out for the afternoon on Saturday. I also dont have any handguards or sliders for the KX yet and there's a fair chance I'd bin it running the stock rims after having 17's :roll:
Ash is using my Yamaha wheels on his YZ125 and I'll cut a few laps on that. I was thinking though that I may bring the KX and hit the dirt tracks out back while I'm there, would they be OK with that?

[MarkeeMark]

Put my slicks back on, changed my gearing and checked over the bike. Already for Saturday morning.
Could someone on Friday night possibly hold the corner under the tree in the pits for me to setup the pit tent and electricity for tyre warmers?
I'll be arriving at 9am.

Cheers MM

[SMC690]

Got my wheels out and Nick is kindly getting them changed for me in the morning whilst I'm at Pucka for the day shooting things with 50 cal bullets. Putting a new Pilot Power on the back and a full wet on the front, bought a new 7.2 home theatre today with network blu-ray player but I'm having trouble installing it all under the seat. I'll be arriving after Mark but if you pinch the spot he wants and write my name on it I'll slip you a 50. ;) :P

[Muzzard]

Tyre is in the ute Dean
Yes you can certainly use the dirt track as well.
No problems there ;)

I'm on street tyres this weekend a set of 3 year old Distanzias
The new Bridgestones are for next years racing to start off with a few new sets under my belt and waiting to fit the 5.50" rim as well.

I dont need power but the tree might be nice for some shelter / shade
I'll be there earlier than 9am too :lol:

I'm thirsty already Alex,
I'll be there around midday mate
Those RedBull cold yet? ;)

[HyperGez]

Muz, pm sent.
Sorry for the late notice, but i've been actually working at work this week and have not spent my normal time online :D I've got a mate coming with me. Was hoping he can be slotted into group 1 with us.
Thanks,
Gez.

[Muzzard]

Edited and entered in Gerry.
All good mate ;)

[HyperGez]

:up:

[smrdog]

Have fun lads - bummed to be missing another one. Hopefully I'll be down soon or early ion the new year.

[Fazio]

muzz,
redbull arriving at my house at 3 ish tomorrow arvo, so no cold cans till later on..
but ill come down early and help out a bit where i can
no sat for me but hey, its all good just getting out there.
faz

[SMC690]

Ride the wheels off it...

http://vsmr.net/albums/ktm/28112008280_G.sized.jpg

[Wobbly]

My day seems to be dragging out longer and longer. I'm probably going to get there later this evening, and there's a chance I may not get out if I don't get myself sorted out in time. Worst case scenario I'll be up first thing in the morning, but still shooting for tonight...

[SlickNCGhia]

i was planning on just coming out at the crack of sparrows.

but i may even drop by tonight if i get everything sorted that i need to.

might bring the little dv video camera this weekend. aslong as someone from group 1 wants to hold it while group2 (me :)) is having a berl

[Woolf555]

As previously mentioned, Ash is running my wheels on his YZ125. Someone has bid on them on ebay, so they're going to be sold. If anyone feels the need to crash into Ash, please try to aim for the middle and leave my wheels out of it! :lol:

[Ozmoto]

You know that wont happen Woolf .... :lol:

Murphy's law will be out in force this weekend :lol: :lol:

[albonator316]

Murphy's law will be out in force this weekend :lol: :lol:

like the fact it is bucketing down!!! :evil:

[SMC690]

Rain, rain go away, I have new tyres to scrub in.

[SMC690]

I just spoke to Muzz.
Tonights TT event has been declared a wet race.
Muzz & Tania are packing up and heading over here for the evening.

See you all at the track tomorrow.

Cheers,
Juz.

[Fazio]

just got back from the track, muzz and i got a total of about 12 laps in before rain wrecked the day, was a bit of an oil spill from the carts as well which seemed to clear once it bucketed down and some more carts went round..

was good honest fun and my first ride with the little wheels on!
hope everyone has fun tomorrow and it a good day!

faz

[SlickNCGhia]

bugger. well ill be there tomorrow unless i need my ark to get there

[Fazio]

marks got the redbull now, so enjoy the cans and riding tomorrow and i hope the track dries up good and proper

[Wobbly]

I'll bring my snorkel

[Fazio]

can someone get some pictures of red bull activities for me tommorrow at the track, good photos will most likely result in more free redbull, so be inventive, wear your smiles etc and get lots of pics

(one handed wheelie with can in hand would be impressive!)

[SlickNCGhia]

i added a giant redbull rear susp can cover today...cost $4.50...so im gonna have a couple tomorrow to make up for it lol

im thinking upper fork covers

[bobes919]

Good to see the weather looks like its gonna hold off !

[SlickNCGhia]

awesome day. may have busted gearbox seal or something

will put some video up later

[albonator316]

Here are the pics i took at the start of the day.

[BoneGraft]

Damn, looks like a great day. :roost:

Wish I coulda made it out.... :cry: :evil:

[dangermouse1100]

From the moment i left home yesterday i knew it was going to be wet :( , but we came anyway. Driving 200 kms to be rained out is not a good prospect but unfortunately weather doesnt do what we want.
Muzz and Fazio had already got some laps in before the rain, so we set up camp. Rain or not we had to have a go, so suited up and drew up some courage. Anthony debuted his DRZ to TT, we did about 10 mins of slow and confidence building laps and i had a go on the drz. I only managed about 2 or 3 laps before i lost the front, i christened the lefthand side of the bike, broken indicator and shortened clutch lever :oops: Couple fellas turned up with a berg in the back of their ute just before i went down, i must have scared them off as they went on the gokarts instead :lol: . Not to be outdone, but our next session out Anthony christened the right side, shortened brake lever, broken indicator, hole in sidecover and broken spring on footpeg. We figured that maybe too much air in the tyre and let it down some which helped. That was enough for our nights excitement.
The rain bucketed down early morning,(and Melbourne has a water shortage :shock: :? ) first light wasn't looking good but it started clearing by 7.30 so Anthony and i decided to go start drying the track at 8.00. ;) Anthony had another fall which he wasn't laughing about and slowed his pace. Track was drying nicely by 9.00 and the pace quickened with other riders arriving. Anthony and i had our fill of fun and the girls were getting bored so we headed off at lunchtime. Not quite our moneys worth, plus a few other issues, but it will be better next time.
I still managed to get some tyre screaming in and that's all i care about :D With a battle scarred drz i think Anthony will need to change his name from smoky to Captain Crash :lol: Sorry i didn't get many pics, in the gallery now, hopefully others have lots, did get some video so will see if i can organize that sometime soon. Cheers fellas hope you had a good day, also was good to catch up with new & old members. 8)

[smokey]

had a ball thanx dave even leaving the track in pain lol i did say i was going to show you how to crash dave lol
wasn't going to let you take all the credit for the stacks the mighty drz is as hurt as the rider :D
oh by the way dave not all the girls were bored lol i was forced to stay for another hour after you left lol

some motard wheels for the drz would do great i may have a chance to keep it upright lol

[Flash]

Awesome day, so good to finally get out on the 125!

[Wobbly]

We came, we saw, we rode (some of us slowly), and I somehow managed to still get sunburned on a decidedly overcast day :lol2:

[Muzzard]

Alex and I did about 10 minutes riding on Friday afternoon before it started to get too wet to ride IMO.
Dave and Anthony had arrived so we helped set up with them and then headed off ourselves.
This morning was a decent start with no real rain to speak of,
A light drop on the way over there from Justins.
A few already out and circulating along with Bear and the Surf Coast fellas setting up.
Unfortunately for one (Mark) he had an early departure from the days activities with a suspected fracture tibia / fibula and a ride in a van with lights and a siren,
For his effort in pain management he was awarded the monthly giveaway from Bike Mart in Ringwood
Wear them with pride,
Hope you mend soon mate.
Richie brought out the new 70 degree Husaberg 450 from Valley Force in Lilydale with his 550 wheelset fitted and started ripping around.
Later in the afternoon I was able to get myself aboard for a few laps and although only roughly dialed for SM by clicker adjustment after an offroad demo the night before,
It was fast.
It was smooth, very progressive in the power delivery and very ergonomically pleasing for motarding.
It changes direction very nicely, has no perceivable gyroscopic action from the crank as you shut the throttle mid corner either.
Was stable and light,
Punchy engine but also very user friendly in the way it puts it to the ground.
I was able to very quickly get a rythym on the bike and are confident it will be very competitive.
Shares many KTM components with the addition of some Husaberg unique fittings such as shock and fork valving.
18 - 20mm billet offset fork clamps, multi position fitment for handlebar clamps, polyethelene tank and airbox as well as much of the rear of the bike.
Makes a very light package and one that has a very unique weight distribution as well.
Nice frame package from the engineering point of view,
The engine is single oil lubricated instead of split and from the maintenance angle very easy to get to things.
The aircleaner under the seat again just slightly repositioned a bit further forward and covering the trumpet, ambient air sensor and a 42mm throttle body.
I like the bike no two ways about it.
The bike I rode today is a demonstration model available to be ridden through Richie or Andrew at Valley Force in Lilydale.
I would encourage anyone looking for a new bike either enduro or SM to at least have a closer look.
Ride one and you'll be sold too ;)
A good turnout today again despite the chance of foul weather.
Looking forward to another one and maybe without the level of discomfort I experienced today through back pain.
Thanks to RedBull for the refreshment and to Alex for organising it again.
Numerous pictures containing RedBull products to choose from this weekend Alex.

[bobes919]

Saturday held up nicely as neil mentioned us white pale skined people somehow still managed to get burnt on a full overcast day .. thanks to all for a good yack and run on the track , the last seission ( apart from those who have racing experience ) was a blast we managed to keep up the pace with one another and a couple of spills that unfolded right in front of me , i managed to steer clear of . Great fun , thanks to all !

[Wobbly]

For those uploading pics to facebook and other social networking media, can you also upload them to the gallery here for all to see? Thx :)

[SlickNCGhia]

verry dodgily edited (and filmed :P) video of me at TT on sat

YouTube - Broadcast Yourself.

never catch the good wheelies on film do you?

i will chop and upload some footage of the other guys soon too

cheers
Ben

[BoneGraft]

Noice....looks like ya had a ball.

[SlickNCGhia]

untill some oil started dripping out of my gearbox

oh and someone decide to do some reworking of his leg

[MarkeeMark]

Noice....looks like ya had a ball.

And you missed out, while cleaning instead! ;) You shoulda come down in the arvo at least, we were there til 6pm!

[HyperGez]

Had a ball, always enjoy get'n out to TT. One thing I did notice though, is how quick everyone is getting, really good to see.
Some good pics there guys, well done.

[BoneGraft]

Noice....looks like ya had a ball.

And you missed out, while cleaning instead! ;) You shoulda come down in the arvo at least, we were there til 6pm!

Yeah thanks Mark, rub it in.....

[DRZzzz]

verry dodgily edited (and filmed :P) video of me at TT on sat
lolz with such steady hands i should get a job as a surgeon :P


im putting my pics & vid in the gallery. the quality sucks (or maybe the photography haha). i have to get a bigger memory card for my camera.

next time ill jump on the track instead!

[Muzzard]

Good on you for coming out,
Maybe next time a few laps and mix it with the boys ;)

[SlickNCGhia]

its allot steadier than the stuff i took :D

good on you forcoming out to support

[DRZzzz]

Good on you for coming out,
Maybe next time a few laps and mix it with the boys ;)
yeah i had to dash off to buy a dress for a party hahahaha - didnt feel like it was worth it for one session :P

i had fun at the last one & once i get a new rear on the bike ill give it another shot :)

[Muzzard]

The way you say you 'had to dash off' so tongue in cheek people might think you were joking about the dress :lol:

[DRZzzz]

lol, nah i laugh because i spent hours shopping & didnt buy a dress at all. typical girl :lol:

[albonator316]

What a great avatar you now have ben! :D

[SlickNCGhia]

yes yes your a great photograper....you couldve got a photo of a wheelie mate lol

[albonator316]

I tried, i tried, but camera and I were to slow and the wheelies weren't longer enough :lol:

[SlickNCGhia]

I tried, i tried, but camera and I were to slow and the wheelies were so awesomly fast

fixed 8)

[albonator316]

:lol:
For that avatar pic i had to press the button before you even started turning for that corner, follow you around the corner until the camera decided to take the pic :roll:
Really need to get a deticated dig camera.

[SlickNCGhia]

my dedicated digital camera is shit like that too. it ruins the point of it as no photos are spontaneous...smiles always look soo forced.

next time im gonna try the camera out in the store.

[JB]

Ben, time to ask Muzz to allocate a VSMR race number, 29 is taken :P .

[SlickNCGhia]

ahhh but do you have a bike to put it on? :P

stickers are expensive and ive got oil leaks to fix lol

[JB]

No bike at the moment. Tis on my office chair though!

[Woolf555]

my dedicated digital camera is shit like that too. it ruins the point of it as no photos are spontaneous...smiles always look soo forced.

next time im gonna try the camera out in the store.

All digital cameras are like that unfortunately, unless you spend the big bucks and get a digital SLR, around the $1000 mark. I took a few with my crappy little Kodak digital which I'll put up at some point. Got some good video, but I'm having computer issues atm and can't get the bloody thing to recognise the video camera
:comp:

[SlickNCGhia]

i spent an hour and a half getting my stupid video camera to talk to the PC and im a proffessional it bloke apparently...

almost missed the work xmas party

[Woolf555]

What pisses me off the most is it used to just plug in and load up automatically, now all of a sudden it doesn't want to play the game. :?

[SlickNCGhia]

google the brand/model. download the latest driver for whatever OS you are using

uninstall all the crap

install latest driver

if that dosent work...throw it against wall or ebay

[Woolf555]

I was gonna try that next - followed shortly thereafter by your second suggestion ;)

[SMC690]

It wont sync if you leave the lens cap on.

[Daws]

Alternatively pull the flash card out and stick it in a card reader - I never use the cable that came with either of my digital cameras. File transfer seems a lot slower and if the camera battery dies while transferring you could corrupt the file. I have had this happen once with a digital SLR and it really pissed me off!

Unless you really want to connect your camera to your computer (no removable memory media or remote shooting) Don't worry about the camera drivers, I say the less unnecessary potentially buggy software on my computer the better.

Many modern laptops have card readers built in or a multi card reader is pretty cheap from any seller of compspewter stuff.

[Woolf555]

It's Mini DV tape, not memory card unfortunately. I'll get it sorted somehow. I got about 15 minutes worth and everyone riding there on the Saturday is on it. Just missed Marks crash though, just out of shot :roll:

Must be the week for it, i tried 3 programs to get the video off the camera, all came up with errors or restarted the computer. F#$%ing computers.

[DRZzzz]

i took a few vids too but cant work out how to upload them to the gallery - keeps failing even with the smallest vid. :(
ill put them on utube or something :P

[Wobbly]

If you email them to me I cam stick them up...

Went out to Valley Force today to have a chat with Richy. He's still raving about how much fun he had at TT on their 09 Berg 450. I think the VF boys had a good day there....

[Muzzard]

They always seem to BG and thats why I always invite Richie and the Boys.
Andrew hasnt had much of a chance of late and will no doubt join Richie and Matt next time in January if he's able.
Richie is a good ambassador for the sport at the dealer level and also has good contacts of course 'on the inside' ;)

I like riding the Valley Force 09 450 too mate :P

[BoneGraft]

Yeah I reminded Richie about January so hopefully they'll all come out. I'm hopeful to have boots and a suit (or at least a bottom half for my jacket) sorted by then and come for a blat.

I have 2 suits, one leather and one of Martins motosuits.
If you are not XXXtra fat,
One of them might fit you as a loaner ;)

[BoneGraft]

Muzz that would be a huge help if thats ok by you. I'm 170cm short and a stocky 75kg. Do you have a suit to fit a garden gnome?

[SlickNCGhia]

and a stepladder for the berg?

heheh

oh and has anyone managed any pics out of bear from the october/september sleepover....i really want those pics of the DR and he dosent seem to want to respond :?

[Muzzard]

I reckon you will be right with one of mine ;)

I'll fart in 'em both anyway just so theres no significant advantage on track OK :lol:

[Fazio]

hey muzz,
any word on the pics from glen of the summer sliddin day?
will see you sat!
faz

[Muzzard]

Not as yet Alex.
I will get onto him again tonight for you.
I thought the disc would have arrived this week to be honest ..

Thanks Muzz!!! For the loan of the suit that is, not the fart. Unless your farts have magical powers that'll make me ride like you..... ;)
