Looks good. I cant believe the Vic crew has managed to get so organised with only 2 weeks notice!

To those that have offered, thank you. I think I have everything covered. Been to the grog shop and have both boys and girls beers plus lolly water. Been to the butcher and should have ample. Salad for the herbivores. Been to Autobarn and stocked up on some consumables. Cleaned the garage out. Written up my class notes. Responded to numerous SMS and phone calls. Should be a good day. Those that don't already have my address then PM me tonight or have a go on 0408 378 708.
So far I think the list is - and this is off the top of my head.
Mick Dundee
Photomike
Stereo
Benno
Sunshine
Dutchawhatsit
ZX6rider
Kwakaddict (dependant on hangover)
Craig
Hoffy - will be there in spirit. A plate of scones shall be placed out in honour.

Anyone else contemplating then by all means come on out. Weather will be good.
9am tomorrow
Adrian.

Rossi? (has forgotten everything about maintaining a ZX9)
Tape? (has children, which are apparently more important... phuff)
Smitty? (Walking frame doesnt allow quick movement)
Mario? (who?)
Stace? (Walked past an electro magnet is now permanently living about 30 feet off the ground at a wreckers)

Thanks to all who turned up, to Mick for donating his bike and especially to Adrian for hosting the event with too many snags and beers. Was a good day and Micks wheels are blue

I'll post picks later.

Big thanks to Benno for letting me have a spin on his R1 too.

Thanks Adrian for a very informative day, great effort for putting this all together even if I did stand back and let the professionals do all the work

, even though I tried to be as observant as possible! and thanks to Mick Dundee for supplying the test bike, who's wheels I thought were black!!!

Great to meet everyone as well

Thanks Wobbly, wicked stuff.

I learned a lot.

For those of you not able to attend, we had a good time taking various bits off'f mic's bike and putting them back on again. I do believe I actually learned something. On top of giving away his expertise for free he also provided a barbeque and free beer! it was like I was dreaming

Here are some pics of the event...
