winter is great, sunny clear days, with enough clothes to look like the michelin man......

i've been there just about every sunday morning for about the last 7 years (except if i'm away @ the GP, WSB or Aus SBK) even when i'm away the rest of the boys still go. even if its wet, in fact thats when there seem to be the same mad people there
we usually get to the car park around 8-815 and leave by 915-930 that way we still get home to accumulate brownie points
look for large collection of kawasaki's including tim on his gpx 775r superweapon

yep pretty much. those of you that have known me for a while will know how long i've wanted a zrx for........and now i've got one
main thing will be trying to katrina off it (she has had her own licence now for 7 odd years) so i can have a go
, should have seen the grin on her face when she came back from the test ride.
the guy said "how you going to get it home" as its a fair distance back to our place, probably 70-80 k's or so.
katrina's response was "ride it - of course".....looks like i'll be driving the scooby doo

i've been looking/dribbling at/over this one for a few weeks, as i mentioned last sunday when you guys dropped round to see me. the fact it was a mate of a mate's so pretty sure of its history was the clincher
not sure if i have the strength in the shoulder and ribs for a run next sunday but a few laps of the local test track may be in order
