So today I purchased my first trackbike. It was from a friend in Victoria so I have to wait for him to deliver it (mid may).
Ill post up some pics soon.
Also, I have started to order a trailer and getting a towbar/electrics for my car. Getting a brandnew tralier for $788 +$75 postage. The one shown below with a flatbed and channel section for the front wheel. Had to get folding as I dont have a lot of space.

Awesome trailer, I have pretty much the same one and it folds up tiny!
You can pick up trailer mates quite cheap on eBay or from KANEG and just drill and bolt it to the trailer!

I need to get me one of those eventually... I only have a car space and it's chockers with crap so I'll need to clean it up first. Can barely fit the ute as it is... hahaha
Btw, it's been 5 hours, where are the pics of said track bike!??

Nice work mate. We had the same trailer, put two trailer mates on it and towed a ZX10 and ZX 6 to Phillip Island on it. It made it but they're not really made for that. I think Russ was getting ready for it to flip a couple of times. Around town though they're a brilliant concept.

There are some photos on Facebook but ill get the guy to send me some pictures. FYI its a Honda CBR 600 2009. All the 2009+ ZX6R are much more expensive
I wonder how it will stack up against the 06 636?

The towbar was installed yesterday for $360 (incl wiring) and the pieces of my trailer arrived
I managed to get the front half mostly together last night so hopefully will have the rest together by the end of the weekend

Awesome mate, looking good. I'm temporarily bikeless but will get a tracky by the end of the year. See you out there

Wouldn't bother with one myself, never a good idea to try and load/unload without the trailer "firmly" attached to the car, trust me i have tried (a few times) before :p and by leaving off the jocky wheel, you can never forget to do so

Good point!
Didn't think about that but you're right it would be very unstable. Might just load it up from the street. Looks like that's one thing I don't have to buy.
