[SM93]

[david]

Cannot make it unfortunately, will be at Oran Park instead :)

[adam]

[SM93]

??????????????????????????

[bandy]

All packed up and ready for the morning.
I'm a bit nervous.. Hope it doesn't get to dirty.
It's just on the trailer and not tied down.check out the ride height.

http://i209.photobucket.com/albums/bb30/bandym/IMG_0635.jpg

[devo]

That's pretty low Mal!

[BB63]

So low I could flat foot it this arvo.
Mal still needs a step ladder tho. :D

[SM93]

perfect for a man-child

[bandy]

Man child huh !
Wish i'd seen that before i saw you today.Then again , you and tom seemed
to have some affection for the wall hey.Uncool on your arm there Tom.
Jovian , well that doesn't matter. :)
Was great to see everyone heaps quicker.Look back six months ago and now,
bloody good shit i say.Devo is just haulin' ass around the place.
I think my new bike will be a good thing.Can't get over how much useable power
it's got and iv'e never ridden anything that revs like that,just keeps pulling.
I nearly stacked it in front of devo and had arms and legs flying everywhere.
He thought thats not good enough and throws a rock at me out of the gate down the
straight and bugger me through my leathers it's drawn blood right on my plate
on the collar bone.I'll get ya back mate :D
Seven of us all up i think. Top Day

[BB63]

:needpics:

[devo]

I'm still gettin sand outta my teeth bandy, but sorry bout that rock haha.

Another good day at nth bris though. Bummer they're all done for the year.

[bandy]

Don't think there's any pic's at all Brian.
I joined the club too as you guys and gals were leaving.
Now to sort out the MA stuff for the 5th time.

[Jefred]

Hi Mal, top looking bike there!!!
I though you were saying something about fixing the house???

[Daws]

Top day out at Nth Bris, thanks again to Steve for the loan of the Kato, I'm starting to understand how this dirt thing works.

Hope Tom and Jov aren't feeling to bad after getting up close and personal with the wall.

[TG]

+1 on still getting the sand out of your teeth.

Thanks for the loan of the little 250 for the day Jovian - It's heaps different to my 450. Had a little incident with the wall trying to go around the outside of Daws. Tore up my body armour, jersey and arm a bit but all three can be fixed.

It was good following Bandy into the bottom corner because my line selection is still horrible. More practice and it will come.

[bandy]

Hi Mal, top looking bike there!!!
I though you were saying something about fixing the house???
The house can wait another year George. :D

[bandy]

Looks like the first practice at northgate is now the 24th January
and not the 6th of Feb .

[SM93]

sweet

[david]

My plan is to get out there from mid Feb

[bandy]

Calendar for you David, You've been out there . We do skids and stuff.

http://www.nbjmcc.zoomshare.com/3.shtml

[david]

Thanks Bandy :up:

[bandy]

The new scoot is all done now

http://i209.photobucket.com/albums/bb30/bandym/IMG_0644.jpg

http://i209.photobucket.com/albums/bb30/bandym/IMG_0643.jpg

http://i209.photobucket.com/albums/bb30/bandym/IMG_0646.jpg

Oh yeah,
Found this photo from 20yr odd year ago of my slider that i never got
the chance to race.

http://i209.photobucket.com/albums/bb30/bandym/scan-2.jpg

[SM93]

shit hot Mal, is that u on the pw?

[Daws]

Nice work Mal, a short-arse bike for a short-arse rider (Even I might be able to get on it without the aid of a stand) ;)

The slider looks awesome too. Lol @ Jovian

[bandy]

shit hot Mal, is that u on the pw?

Of course it is , You Idiot .

[maestro]

That yellow thing will never work. Wots with the funny looking wheels and tyres?:p

[TG]

Mal it looks so low in those photos. It'll be weapon for dirt track.

[SM93]

the juniors will think its for them

[Joe]

Nice Mal.

[david]

Hmm Yellow, yep it looks the goods :up:

[bandy]

Thanks for the comments lads , I'm just worried i can't ride the bastard properly
without whingeing about stuffed wrists and shit.
And Maestro,put the wr in dirtrack mode one time last year and went for a blat
down the street to see what it was like and nearly splattered myself in every
direction . Your right there , it will , never work. :lol:

[Daws]

Who's coming out to play this Sunday?

I'll be there on the little RM... ring-a-ding-ding! Looking forward to seeing how it goes against the bigger bikes.

Steve, Mal, Tom, Jov, Joe, Adam? Lee, bring out the Ape... it's not that scary on 17"s ;)

[devo]

Yup, I'm in for sure. Wanted to get my tyre turned around, but not looking good for time.

Swapsies on the RM Paul? :D

[adam]

marcel promised to have the kwacka ready by the end of the week, so we'll see - it does have an 18 on the rear :)

[lee#25]

Who's coming out to play this Sunday?
Lee, bring out the Ape... it's not that scary on 17"s ;)

Hahaaa you must be kidding me, I've just got it all pretty again, I'm going to do a Marty with it now [-(

[bandy]

Yeah , I'll be rocking up,Try and sort the bike out a bit.

[bandy]

Who's going tomorow? I got my scoot on the trailer.May be a no go if it's to wet.

[SM93]

i won;t be riding

[Daws]

I'll be there if it's not too wet.

[bandy]

you must have known Jov, Been called off due to the rain.
Just checked the rain gauge and i've had just over 100mm.So has northgate i reckon.

[TG]

Damn I was pretty keen to have a ride on the KTM.

[david]

A tad wet here too.

After next weekend, the bike will be in dirt trim till Stanthorpe.

[bandy]

Anyone going to ride this sunday the 21st ?
First club day of the year.
I am , But i'm as nervous as a long tailed cat in a room full a rockin' chairs.

[Daws]

I'm thinking of racing the RM125 in the 250 class... we'll see

[devo]

Whoa. Didn't realise it was race time already.

Okies, I'm in.

You're only nervous cos you're going for the win bandy! Lol @ your cat. Haven't heard that one.

[SM93]

i am out due to lack of funds

[bandy]

I'm thinking of racing the RM125 in the 250 class... we'll see

aww , come on paul. Need some more team yellow down there.

And ok Jove

[bandy]

Thanks for the always good company today guys , had a ball.
I need to ride your bike paul and get the feel back from years ago.
A few good duels between the boys and that smile on the dial when we come
in off the track is just the best.
I was just a small flag hanging off the handle bars on my new bike.
Holy shit these new scooters go hard.
Top day , but geez i'm sunburnt.

[Daws]

Was a lot of fun out there on the little RM125, by the end of the day I was getting the hang of riding a 2-stroke and had a great time trying [and mostly failing] to get ahead of Jovian. Looking forward to next practice. Mal dominated the old blokes class, Steve and Darren looked like they were having a lot of fun in the open class mixing it up with the CR500s.

Mal - Next time feel free to take the RM out, It'll be good to see the bike ridden by someone who knows what they are doing ;)

[bandy]

Dirtrack racing (club day 2 ) Cancelled due to the rain

[djs238]

Hey guys,
where abouts are we talking about racing here? are you talking oval flat track :confused:

Cheers.

[bandy]

Northgate , Brissy man. You in Brissy?

Mal

[djs238]

Yeah Mal I am, at Camp Hill on the south side. So northgate is a flat track circuit? Would love to have a crack at that. What tyres do you use?

Dan.

[bandy]

Yeah Dan, It's dirtrack. most times just the oval or sometimes with the one right hander
or another kink off the front straight.
If you still have your dirt wheels you can chuck a trials uni on the back and enjoy
the fun.
Tard wheels are'nt the best . Ask some of the boys.
Next practice is 21st march.
I have posted a link to the club somewhere in this thread.

MAL

[djs238]

Found it thanks Mal. What a bitch though, I'm away at work every 2nd weekend and the 21st March is one of those weekends :down:

Do many guys ride standard bush set up suspension? Looking back through the thread at your RM, have you revalved or just adjusted stock suspension for that set up?

[bandy]

Just wind up the rear clickers on the shock and the trials uni and add fun.
My WR is easier to ride than the RM-Z . At the moment,
I Need to sort it out a bit more.
It's good fun when it all comes together.

http://i209.photobucket.com/albums/bb30/bandym/IMG_0443.jpg

http://i209.photobucket.com/albums/bb30/bandym/IMG_0440.jpg

[djs238]

Sounds great. I might just leave my set up as is, and play around with it a bit on the day.

You look as happy as a pig in the ...err...poop.

[Matt57]

Looks like great fun Bandy!

Do you have to be a club member to do the practice days or can you just rock up? How much is the practice day and what time does it kick off?

[bandy]

Dirtrack practice is from 9am till 1pm and its $20 plus $20 for a day licence for
those that don't have one.
It is a good idea to wind up the clickers in the rear.
I think i started this dirtrack thing down there last year and everyone has a blast.
Good for your Tarding skills too.

[bandy]

Anyone riding tomorow for practice ?
After last w/ends effort i can understand if your not.

[devo]

I'm keen, the forecast is a bit iffy though.

[Daws]

I'm keen too, I'll be keeping an eye on the weather.

[bandy]

My dad and half bro are coming up from down the coast and a lady i know is
bringing her young fella down for a go also from the sunny coast.
I hope it's not to wet.
My dad is keen to have a go on his 125 kato, Hes had the back tyre on for weeks now.

[bandy]

The weather is looking good !
You changed ya bike over already steve ?

[devo]

Nope, not yet, but I'll be there unless it looks absolutely shit house tomorrow morning.

Looking forward to it. :) And I'll have to hit Lakeside up again some time soon.

[david]

I'm out, have spent most of the day working on the bike ready for Southern Downs Rd 1.

Weather looks dodgy.

[devo]

Weather looks good this morning. Paul and I are in.

[bandy]

Who's riding this sunday ? club day 3.
Club day 2 is going to be in july on a saturday by the looks of it
because of a rain out.

[Daws]

My RM is a bare frame and collection of parts waiting for new linkage bearings. I won't be there.

[devo]

I'm racing Mal.

[bandy]

Hey Steve , Do you race mx open or pro open or both classes ?
I'm thinking about riding two classes on sunday.

And Paul , saw a vid that the half bro took and your 125 sounds like it's on song mate.

[Daws]

2 classes Mal? Hope your wrists can stand up to the punishment.

Glad to hear my bike sounds good... hopefully it still does when I put it back together! Looking forward to getting back out for a play now I'm starting to understand how to ride it.

[devo]

What you on about Mal?

I think the classes as per last round included

4t 450/ 2t 250
2t open
4t open

Out of that lot, I could only ride the 4t open.

[bandy]

From what i can gather from club day 1 results re their classes and our bikes
you could ride in mx open and pro open .
I'm riding in old farts and should be able to ride all three(which won't happen)
Stuffed if i know how it works down there.
Wonder what the diff is between those two classes.
I thought it was up to 450 and then all powers.
Hang on . Think i'm starting to get.

[devo]

Hmm, looking at the results I can see what you mean. I reckon on the entry sheet it said something about 250/450's though.

Might just do it, not exactly fighting for championship points haha.

[Matt57]

Ok guys who is heading out this Sunday for practice?

I plan to but haven't bought a tyre yet. Where would suggest the best priced speedway tyres can be found (19in). I rang Tyres for Bikes a couple of weeks ago and they had some for $140....is that pretty standard price??

[devo]

I'll be heading out if I can Matt.

Not sure on the tyre. That doesnt sound too bad.

[Daws]

I'll be out there if my suspension linkage bearings arrive on Friday.

[Flash]

Hey Paul how doe the 125 go?

I am keen to have a go at Dirt track until I can get my fitness up for MX again.

[Daws]

The 125 is a lot of fun, it is a lot different to riding a 4t because of the power delivery. I'm starting to figure it out a bit better now but I still need to run a wider line to keep it spinning through the corners. I'd say it's as competitive as a 250 in the right hands (not mine obviously)

[devo]

I only had the one crack, but I certainly wasn't about to be able to ride it quickly any time soon.

[Duck Jockey]

Whats the deal here???

[Matt57]

Whats the deal here???

Dirt track practice at Northgate this Sunday.......there is a link to the clubs website on page 2 or 3 or this thread.

[adam]

i'll perhaps be there on the new ktm, depends how i go running it in if i manage to get out to kenilworth on friday.

matt, that sounds about the right price they are fairly exy, i'll be running one on the ktm if i come out as ive got one lying around.

[devo]

Sounds like the perfect run-in Adam :) Short shift a little, a few heat cycles. Dump the oil.

If you go out to Kenilworth you'll be idling it around :P

[adam]

you are probably right, but i dont think i'll be able to leave it in the garage for 2 days!

fly back tonight supposed to be picking it up at 10 tomorrow :)

[Daws]

Do it! You know you want to.

[Flash]

Awesome! I'm used to the power band on it I have to adjust on the 4t! Not sure if your's has had much or any work but if it's stock and it'll keep up then I might not have anything to worry about then! (Except for the rider!)

[bandy]

Hey Flash , Just make sure if your going to ride a 2 stroke dirtrack
that its not running to lean with all the WOT it will get .

[Flash]

Yeah mate It's running rich atm intensionally. It's to aggressive when I'm so unfit. The motor was built when I was riding 2 -3 days a week back in the day!!

[Duck Jockey]

Can you enter on the day or whats the deal???
p.s You young bucks are going down :D

[bandy]

Looks like the old farts are getting some interest hey :D
Flash , 'back in the old days' and duck Jockey with "young bucks" LOL
Yeah rock up about 7:30 - 8 and its $20 if you got your licence for a practice day.
Runs from 9am till 1pm then the speedway boys have the place for a couple of hours
after us lot.
From what i can gather , Devo , Matt , and myself will be there and mabye daws if he gets his bike back together.Anyone else coming ?' Adam ?

[Daws]

Trev, You probably already know this but.... you'll need a speedway tyre if you have a 19" rear, a trials tyre if you have an 18" or large balls if you have a 17" :P There should be a few faces you recognise from Morgan Park out this weekend.

It looks like I'll be there at this stage, the bearings are supposed to arrive tomorrow so I have a bit of time to get the bike back together. If it don't get it back together, I'll bring the motard out for a play on wets :)

[adam]

yeah i might well make it, see how i go tomorrow

rung kenilworth and i will have the track to myself whoohoo as they are doing maintenance but dont mind me rolliong around

pretty pumped new bike is gonna hoon, electric start oooh yeah.

[bandy]

Hey Adam , You Don't want to do fort lytton saturday morning at all ?

[Duck Jockey]

:)I'm off to Northgate !

[adam]

hey mal, i'll probably be rooted after a day at kenilworth will need to get some rest to make sure coxy doesnt kick my butt

[Daws]

Awesome! My bearings and replacemrnt pivot bolt arrived today, so assuming they are the correct ones and I don't fuck anything up (always a possibility) I'll be out there on Sunday :D

[Matt57]

Who is racing this Sunday? I know Devo is......anyone else?

I am seriously thinking about have a roll around at the back and eating some dirt hmmmmm dirt.

[Daws]

I'll be out there doing laps, trying not to get lapped ;)

[Matt57]

I'll be out there doing laps, trying not to get lapped ;)

Well I guess I will have to come out and keep you company at the back!:up:

I think not getting lapped will be a good effort for my first race.........

What is the general thought - leathers or mx gear?

[devo]

90% wear mx gear.

I always wear leathers though. Makes more sense to me.

[TG]

I don't think I'll be riding. The KTM has probably damaged the oil seal between the engine and gearbox at BEARS (They use the same oil fortunately). Should be pretty easy fixed but won't have time to check, get parts and test before Sunday. Will probably come out for a look.

[SM93]

can someronhe take my flat track wheels down to see if sopmeone will buy them

[adam]

hmm i cant decide whether to do flat track or go to kenilworth with factory

[devo]

That thing handles so good on the dirt track, it'd be a waste to go to Kenilworth. :P You both should come out.

[djs238]

Hey guys,
I've put my Kato back to dirt set up. Myself and a mate are keen for some flat tracking. I'm away from Brisbane every second weekend (including this weekend). Is there a calendar floating about?
Thanks!

[devo]

yep

http://www.nbjmcc.zoomshare.com/

[djs238]

Thanks Devo - I actually got off my butt and found where Mal had posted it earlier.

Next question - the best place to get a trial's tyre or speedway tyre. My dealer I guess, unless anyone has some recommendations.....?

[devo]

Paul has got some Cheng Shins to try. Only $70 I think. Apart from that, I got my last Michelin from Ash's Spoked Wheels.

[adam]

or i have a brand new speedway tyre for sale, for a 19" motocross rim $100

[djs238]

The KTM has a 18" rear..... Thanks anyway Adam.

Devo - does Paul attend the practice and club days with cheng shins for sale on the day?
Thanks.

[bandy]

I'm riding toomorow , hell crooked or west . Went up one tooth on the front
so see how that is .
Going to be a good day with others there too.

[devo]

Heya Mal, that's the spirit. If you're too wonky, I'll point you in the right direction.

Paul is coming tomorrow. Not sure if he's got the tyres yet, I'll tell him to bring some if I can get onto him tonight. I'd like to try one as well.

[bandy]

Thanks for the good company and another great day doin' broady's and stuff
in the dirt fellas.
I'm starting to get this scooter sorted out i think, I'll lift the forks up another 5mm
and i reckon it should be getting close. going up one tooth on the front was a huge
difference also in making it a bit more rideable.
Good to see no one took a soil sample too. :up:

[Matt57]

Was a great day, I really enjoyed myself and with a bit more track time should be about to get onto the back of the pack and do some racing!

Looking forward to the next interclub in July!!!

[Daws]

Was a great day on the little 125, I was completely out-classed in the pro-lites race and managed to keep the CR500's in sight in the 2t Open class. My starts got better (they couldn't get worse), lifted the forks which cured some front-end vaugueness through the back section but I really should have turned my tyre as it didn't have a lot of grip on the left.

Managed to stay on the bike for the every race which is a welcome change for me recently, I wasn't looking forward to adding to my already extensive collection of bruises from last weekend.

Steve and Mal were flying and Matt was starting to look pretty comfortable towards the end of the day. Once again another cheap day out for all the family.

[djs238]

Guys, is there a practice day on next Sunday the 6th?

[adam]

yep

[bandy]

Who's riding this sunday ? (Practice)
They have the the sidecar challenge saturday for speedway
and i see it's also the Qld classic MX championships sunday
as well as us lot having practice on sunday.
I'ts all happening.
And 'Matt 57 ' , If your riding , i'll bring the wr back wheel down
so you can try the vee- rubber out which i think is not a bad tyre
If you want mate.

[Daws]

I'm out, marshalling at the Morgan Park trackday for me.

[Matt57]

Hey Bandy, I am out for this Sunday but thanks for the offer. I am going to head out to the Aust. Superbike round at QR.

[djs238]

Hey Bandy,
Myself and possibly two others may be there on Sunday. I was wondering,
1. Can you enter on the day and does that include being able to get a one day license?
2. Is it a track day or practice day?
3. Tyres! Does anyone bring tyres for sale on the day (18")?

Cheers :up:

Dan.

[devo]

If you dont mind me answering.

Everyone enters on the day. 1 day licences available. It's a practice day. You're not guaranteed anything, but last time there was a bunch of 2nd hand veerubbers for sale. Brand new, you'll have to get organised on saturday.

[bandy]

Hey Dan,
None of this possibly crapp , Get your arses down there and if you need some
rubber for the rear i can get 3 michy's at a very , very good price toomorow.
Let me know tonight or very early in the morning and i can get them and
i'll bring the stuff to fit sunday morning at the track (i'll watch you fit) :D or
you will have to come up to near my place and he will fit them
for you.
$20 for day licence and $20 for track ...$40 bucks

PM me or give me a call 0431908563

No exuses now :D

I have a friend coming down from the sunny coast with her young fella also to
have a go to on his crf150
Looking like another fun day , good weather too.

[djs238]

Thanks guys.

Any other set up required for an enduro bike or just whack on the trials tyre and have-at-er?!

I'm interested in the Michellin's Bandy.... can you tell me or PM me the price?

Ta.
Dan.

[devo]

Slow down the rear with the clickers.

[djs238]

Hey guys,
A couple of pics from Sunday. Ben (crf450x) and I had a ball on our first time out, and will be at the club day on the 20th June for sure.

I've got to edit the helmet cam video so that its small enough for photobucket to upload, but will try and post it soon. Funny, it never looks as fast and furious as it feels! Some not bad footage though, including a lap or so of copping roost from Steve (devo) on Mal's yellow farm bike :lol:

Dan.

Was a good day alright.
You were showing off dan, your a natural man.
Good to meet Ben too.
See Ya's on the 20th

[albonator316]

Have a look at this german custom dirt tracker. Some of the other bikes on there are nice too.

http://www.motorcorner.de/html/hellfire.html


Related article on bikepoint:
Custom motorcycles are rarely dull; the tuning and modifications can sometimes improve a bike's performance and aesthetics, and sometimes it can ruin them.
Thankfully this next model probably falls into the former category, and is one of the more interesting takes on the popular Triumph Street Triple.
In actual fact this dirt tracker is based on the on Street Triple R, and was crafted by a German mob called Motorcorner.
Named the Hellfire, the modifications made the bike are significant, but two of the most noticeable changes are the spoked wheels. The 17-inch rims look sensational and really give the bike a dirt tracker image.
According to reports, the aluminium rims feature a special fastening system for the spokes, using knuckles to lock the spokes to the rim as opposed to the more common lacing method. This allows them to take tubeless tyres and also shows an impressive level of attention to detail.
New bars and some extra body cladding under the seat plus a shorter exhaust system change the bike's profile somewhat, but It's interesting to note that the chassis and engine are virtually stock standard.
What would you pay for this creative custom? It'll set you back around $22,000, give or take. And you'll probably need to be in Europe.

[Tobey]

Any of you QLD's heading down to Kempsey for the Dirt Track meet at Green hill speedway this weekend?

[bandy]

No doubt there will be a few from the club we ride at heading down.
I know a couple went down to somersby last fortnight.
Us lot just do it for fun and my racing days are over the rate i'm going,
i can't even do a mornings practice lately,need some new body parts.
We just do the odd club day and they don't have a vets class at open meetings for me. lol
You going up for a look tobey?

That Trumpy would sound good .Love the sound of a triple at full noise.

Ill be heading up along with another NSWSMR guy to race in 450 and unlimited.

Anybody done any oil track racing? What should we expect?

[bandy]

Just read the sup regs . didn't realise it was an oil track.
i've never ridden that.
Tard set up with hard wets and wind up the rear clickers is how i would start.
get some info if you can.
What are you going to be running?

[Tobey]

Got exactly that setup, running hard wets.

Should be interesting to say the least.

Will be on my 450EXC...

[djs238]

Geez, its Friday night and still no mention of flat track on Sunday? I'm still planning on being there. Weather looks to be shaping up to perfect, compared to the forecast earlier in the week.

I'll be there , Going to be a bit fresh in the morning tho.

[bandy]

Wowsers , what a top day had.
Just Dan and I riding from us lot today and Dan was holding his own
with the multiple aussie and state title holder riders out there in the
450 pro class. Makes you look twice when you see a brake light coming
on into turn one with the rest of the young lunatics out there that he was
riding with.
My starts were shit till after lunch and then i started to get it right , but with
old mate A grade speedway rider and the pleasure to ride with Troy Herfoss's
dad Mark , i ended up with third for the day. Man he can ride.
Bloody top bloke too , so after a couple cold ones and a good yarn
i'm happy as. I'll say it again , Bloody good day.
Two Day meet next month also (for those that ride there)

[BB63]

Nice one Holeshot. :up:

[SM93]

nice work Mal

[djs238]

Great day Mal. Some photos below, unfortunately not that up close and personal, so I had to zoom and crop a lot. Next time I'll make sure the GF is set up with the 200mm lens.

[devo]

Nice one Dan! That's awesome you were mixing it up with 'em straight away.

Sounds like a good day too Mal.

[djs238]

I don't know about mixing it up Steve, but it was fun in the very least. You've got to wonder about the need for a clubman class though. But I guess riding with those quick guys though is a great way to learn the sport.

Shit did the KTM cop a sandblasting too! Now I realise why I saw old mate with his plastics etc all taped up.

Off to the parent's farm tomorrow for a few days work, and riding some single track that my brothers and I have cut in. Then this weekend, to the Linville 2 day trail ride (near Blackbutt - 2 hours).

Anyone else going to Linville? Should be a great weekend, probably not too late to get your entry in.

[bandy]

Who wants to ride at the Dan Jones Memorial on the 18th july
at northgate? It is a long track meeting.
All the proceeds go to his two sons .

Supp regs,

[Matt57]

I think I will do one or both of the interclubs the fortnight after. Still tossing up it or Stanthorpe that weekend but its all road and it will be frigging freezing!

[bandy]

Practice this sunday . 4th july .

[bandy]

Well, Done the Dan Jones Memorial today, and it's the best fun open meeting
ive ever been to. Next year you local lot ,i reckon we should all rock up for the
great cause. Had a bloody blast.Oh yeah, come home with a cheque for
a hundred too, for 2nd in the ol'e farts,Bloody good day :up:

[BB63]

Nice one Mal, good to watch and see ya getting quicker each race too.
Cheers Brian

[Daws]

Well done Mal, that should help pay for a few practice day entries :)

[Matt57]

Mal and I are doing the interclub this Saturday who else is keen??

[SM93]

good luck

[bandy]

Haven't done this before , but sounds like a fun arvo/evening under lights.
Team up with a mate for the challenge.

[Matt57]

Holy Sh!t did you see the prize money!!!!

More than a national superbike round..........that should bring out some good riders.

[Daws]

I got the email about it, sounds like a great idea. Unfortunately my bike is still a bit broken after the Kenilworth MX incident, oh and I can't walk ;)

I might come down and watch or help out.

[SM93]

i am keen if someone needs a team mate

[Matt57]

i am keen if someone needs a team mate

Well if ya keen Jov I will be your date for this one!

[devo]

That sounds really cool Mal, I've still got that brand new Michy sittin here too.

You should grab Dan, you two could do well!

Will see how my knee is mending before I commit.

[SM93]

sure thing matty, u supply the bike i supply the talent ;) you are aware i have one a race at north brisbane b4 so we are in with a chance

[Matt57]

sure thing matty, u supply the bike i supply the talent ;) you are aware i have one a race at north brisbane b4 so we are in with a chance

Thought you didn't ride yamys??

You may have a chance but I def do not......

[adam]

steve, if your knee is better you wanna team up? thats another 3 weeks i hope my hand will be right,

jeez sound like a couple of old dungas

[bandy]

I'm trying to figure out the over 40's challenge deal and i think i need a woman
to team up with ?
I wonder if Jovian would lend me Geraldine for the evening :D if she was to
think about having a go. Use my bike if needed.
I'll find out more tomorrow at the club day.
Oh yeah , if you can team up with a male rider(for the over 40's challenge) , i'll be teaming up with a mate from nanango
who rides with us in the over 40's.

[devo]

Who's that little chicky that I was fighting places for last year. Someone'll snatch her up! haha.

Sounds good Adam.

[SM93]

i am def in for team event if you need me matty

[Matt57]

Cool Jov, I will let you know if I am going to do it.

The only thing is way I read the regs you need to each have a bike for the regular challenge. Not real keen on racing in the top class with the fast as f$ck guys.....not to mention the $150 entry fee!

[bandy]

Nah , Matt $100 per team for the non dirtrack class which all you blokes can enter
in . You guys don't race dirtrack and supermotard round these parts is road racing
up till last w/end. Come on , What do you reckon fellas. At least you guys can team up
with a mate and not like me where i have to find a female rider. I don't think there will
be an over 40's challenge the rate is looking.

[bandy]

Forgot to add , if you have'nt got dirtrack on your licence your eligeble for non dirtrack
class. I'm still bashing my head against the wall trying to figire out if i can even ride
at all with no female team mate. I'm one of quite a few trying to figure this mess out.
I just want to have a ride.

[Matt57]

Yeah Mal the rules are a bit of a code ??!!

As you read it does the non dirt trackers need 2 bikes per team?

Also do you know what track they will be using? Not real keen on the long track......

[bandy]

Just got off the ph. from Lisa and i will not be doing the challenge but i will be riding
in the cup. Suits me fine so i can sit back with a beer and watch you lunatics in the
non dirtrack challenge. Matt , I reckon you can do the non dirtrack challenge on your
own bike (two bikes -- Two riders). Don't know what track but i reckon it would be
back dog leg at a guess(dirtrack) I mentioned to lisa i'm trying to get a few tard nuts out there too,
So , who's going to have a go ?I can think of quite a few :D
Come on lads , team up
Oh yeah , If someone needs a bike for the challenge they can ride mine.

[SM93]

i will use your bike mal!!!

[devo]

I think I'm out. Physio wasn't impressed with my knee. Will get MRI back soon though.

[bandy]

That sounds a bit uncool steve.
See how you go mate.

And Jovian , I am not going to paint my bike Red , or blue , :)

[SM93]

i like suzuki's mal, do you still have the adult suspension for it???

[bandy]

You idiot ... It is the adult suspension , its just been modified for children , thats all.

[TG]

Sounds like a bit of fun. I'll be in if someone needs a teammate.

[bandy]

This will be a long track event.
Not as i posted earlier

[Daws]

Long track! That would be awesome, that's the configuration I suck least at!

[Matt57]

I am out.............not much of a fan the long track and the YZ is ready for a top end.

[bandy]

Anyone enter the cup ?

[bandy]

Scored some picys from this years activitys.
Thought i'd share
