That's a great price- hope it doesn't get as full as Easter Friday:ayyy:

[dungbeetle]

[Madmax01]

How much is it for non members?

[dungbeetle]

[Dezerteagle]

Hey I'm going to have to give this one a miss :(

[Marcus]

F%^K my boots might not make it in time!

Can you do it in sneakers? I really dont want to but I dont want to borrow a mates pair of boots... I just feel wrong asking even though he wont mind!

How many groups are there? Looks like a killer list!

I like moist things in the morning but breaky sounds good too, what time? Heard the 11'th is a 9:30 start??

[jasonbw]

Is anyone coming up from Wollongong? I can loan you my boots.. what size shoe do you take?

[Marcus]

Mate, your too kind! The whole point is I didnt want to ask to borrow boots
;-)

[Zippa]

Mate, your too kind! The whole point is I didnt want to ask to borrow boots
;-)


I will be there with a spare pair of boots, size 8. if you want to use them feel free...... they are a little old, smelly, worn but apart from that will do the job ok. :Kat00:

[jasonbw]

Mate, your too kind! The whole point is I didnt want to ask to borrow boots
;-)

You didnt ask per se :) I'll check the size now..

back.. EU45... no idea what that converts to in Aus or US size.. but there'd be tables on the web..

[dungbeetle]

usually kicks off about 9 marcus, but it may be a little later being a long weekend....im usually there about 730 and the bbq usually kicks off about 8. not sure if we having the bbq lunch but ill let ya all know shortly...

[kellz]

EU45 is a australian 10.5

[VINNIE]

Lunch will be served as well Dungy :ayyy:

[Marcus]

Zippa, atleast I wont feel bad if they are already stinky ;-) I'll PM you

Does anyone know where the dess code requirements are on circuit breakers?

I have a mate who want to come but only has a A* Textile jacket and jeans but has the rest of the gear.

He wants to chop me which is fine as he has an R6 and has been riding for 10 years. Im not the type to give shit (but mates will) if im chopping him on the 400 with only 6 months ;-). The whole reason why he wants me to take the K6 is so he has an excuse.

[dungbeetle]

http://www.circuitbreakers.com.au/index.php?option=content&task=view&id=5&Itemid=26

he will need draggins

[dungbeetle]

o and i cant take any more bookings. im sending the cash to james tomorrow so bookings are closed sorry guys. you can still book thru his site but youll have to pay $110...

we got 29 all up...good effort guys!!

[lilninja]

Is that counting me twice Dungy?:lmao:

[jasonbw]

http://www.circuitbreakers.com.au/index.php?option=content&task=view&id=5&Itemid=26

he will need draggins

You can hire them too, I think from memory he was charging $60 for it? (the whole kit, suit, helmet, gloves and boots) - undies not included - you may need more than one pair too

[triumph]

undies or draggins

[dungbeetle]

Is that counting me twice Dungy?:lmao:

:lmao: i sorted that problem...unless there is 2 of youcoming!!:D

[Prettyboy]

Out for this one.

Big thanks to Al for making the refund painless...

Hanging out for 17th

[kellz]

what size is he???
i have a pair of mens 34s if they fit him he can wear them for the day they are just sitting in my cupboard not getting used..

i will be there with dungy at 7 am :hatter:

[Bigdog]

I'll be bringing all of the Rat's apparel that some of you guys have ordered so I'll see ya's there.

[SHAMO]

Bloody weather isn't looking the best :(
Lets hope for the best

[lilninja]

Man Ill be so pissed if it rains!

[Peregrine]

Did my money come through dungy?

[dungbeetle]

yup it did peregrine, and yours to poyda...

[Peregrine]

Got another mate Michael on a R1 coming.

Start praying for the rain gods to p$#% off ;)

[dungbeetle]

no worries peregrine...but i cant book any more in so he will have to book thru james site...

[lilninja]

Hate to be a downer people but its not lookin good! Hopefully it rains out before monday!!!!!

[kellz]

we dont mention that swear word around here... lol
that R word is naughty

[Marcus]

We have had an unusally dry season, hopefully it stays that way.

The only forcast that is 99% accurate is 2 days before.

Quick Q, im thinking of bringing my RVF down to do a couple of sessions then switching to the K6 which a mate will bring down. Can I get it scrutineered during the day or does it have to be there in the morning?

[lilninja]

Im pretty sure they scrutineer it in the middle of the day, they only do a very brief check anyway!

[dungbeetle]

yeh id say youd be able to get it scrutineered during the day...just ask the scrutineer in the morning who checks out ya rvf and tell him what ya plan is

[Naked Twin]

I thought there was only meant to be 3 groups, I see it is now 4.
That means less track time.

Also where will the NSWRATS lads be, is there a particular garage I should be looking for?

What's this about breakfast and lunch, who do I see to get in on that action.

Nick

[kellz]

there will be a sign with NSW rats on it.. but we are usually in the 20 something garages..

just look for dungys black and pink flame track bike or guys and girls in rats shirts....

breakfast and lunch is just rock up to the bbq pay your money and then enjoy your delicous food... mmmmmmmmm bacon and egg rolls...

cant remember how much dungy or someone who isnt having a blonde moment will remember

[dungbeetle]

we will be around garage 20-24....brekky will be being bbqed and you will see the rats hanging around there for a feed. will be the only bbq goin...
bbq lunch as well. 2 or 3 bux for a snag or a steak sanga
my bike is black with purple flames on it and youll see either me or kellz or my 7yo son hangin around it.,...if ya have any probs just come ask me or grab someone with a rats shirt on!!

[trumpst]

Hope this rain blows away! See you all Monday:ayyy:

[dungbeetle]

shhhhh...it doesnt rain on our track days!!:D
seeya monday

[lilninja]

just got to wonderin, If it rains on monday( I know I know swear word blah blah) whos gonna be ridding, me personally I would If I had a set of pilot powers but my current OEM tire the pirelli super corsa is shite in the wet is like ridding a marsmallow in ice!

so who are the brave?

[dungbeetle]

ill be there for the day....i just hang around in case it drys out and have a chinwag!!
james will get the track dry one way or another if it is only a little damp!!

[jasonbw]

[dungbeetle]

[Ian]

I think if its pissing down like this I'll see about bringing the TV/DVD combo player and put on the suspension videos in case anyone wants to watch em. (if thats okay Zee?)

Don't know if it'll fit in the boot cos of the wheels and than afterwards of the added tyres.

Squirt, for free to hang out :ayyy:

[lilninja]

Nah squirts completely free, mind you if its pissing down there wont be much to watch!

[jasonbw]

im riding rain hail or shine. although if the weather isnt "shine" then i will be riding very slow (even slower than normal) ;)

obviously it wont be as much fun in the rain but it will give an opportunity to slow it up a bit and practice being smooth etc etc blah blah and other feel good positive crap.

[Squirts]

yeah just saw the weather report....

showers - chiefly coastal....

i'll do a little sun-dance for you's... :D

[dungbeetle]

[striker]

im riding rain hail or shine. although if the weather isnt "shine" then i will be riding very slow (even slower than normal)

Do you mean backwards?

[Peregrine]

Is anyone going to bring a jump starter just in case? I've got problems starting my CBR400 cause the battery's screwed. None of the battery shops are open and my VTR batteries won't fit into the CBR :(

Cheers

Meng

[Peregrine]

Disregard last - just got it going again :)

[striker]

I just had a brief glimpse of the sun. Come on big fella!

[Prettyboy]

I'm about 20 mins from OP here and the weather is looking alright.

Clouds coming in from the East look to be holding a little light rain, though they have been threatening all day. Over Oran though it's cloud free. Good luck for those riding tomorrow.

[dungbeetle]

i have jumper leads and a spare battery peregrine amongst a million other tools!!
we are in garages 21-23 for tomorrow guys so ill see yas there...

[dan750]

[dungbeetle]

[swabio]

I can vouch for that..... Dungy is the best rent-a-tool dude at the track :) always has the gear to get my bike going after I 'sort something out' on it ;) :D

Have fun @ the track tomorrow!

[dungbeetle]

thanx swabio...i like to be prepared for anything!!! tho i couldnt fix my leaky fork seals the other month!!:(

[Bigdog]

The weather is looking good for you guys with sunny and dry conditions predicted for tomorrow. See ya's at Oran and I'll be bringing all the apparel.:ayyy:

[VINNIE]

Just spent the day out at OP.Marshalling for Post Classic Racing and was lucky enough to be posted out on turn 5,the little cage at the end of the bridge.The track is in good condition apart from the kitty litter it really is kitty shit.You will need gum boots if you run wide mainly on turns 1,2,3 and 4 .So after watching bikes going around the track all day i am so looking forward to tomorrow:ayyy:

[lilninja]

Ill do an early weather report tommorrow fo all you far away peoples as I am only 5 mins from the track, on a good day with the right breeze I can hear the gear changes from some of the louder cars! Il be Post about 6 45 if anyones interested!

Hooked up my camera again tonight so should get some good footage weather permitting, might take my laptop if its raining so people we can watch the suspension DVD's if jase cant bring the DVD/TV setup.
Ill be going to get fuel midway through the day most likely so if anyone doesnt know where there going they can tag along!

[dungbeetle]

ill be well on my way up by 645. but ill be there rain hail or shine so i dont care what the weather is doin:D

[Peregrine]

Thanks Swabio. Hope to see you out riding again soon :)

It's time for me to get my beauty sleep. It's a 4am wake up for me...

[SHAMO]

Well I just drove up from Canberra to Sydney yesterday and realised I left my trailer ramp at home. Hopefully I can borrow one in the morning from one of you guys?

Hopefully the weather holds out. Looks promising so far..

[lilninja]

[dallas]

i got a ramp that should do the job...if not, we will just lift the bike off:p

[jmuzz]

Glad V8's werent there. They made a mess of EC dragging mud all over it. Turn 2 runnoff was torn up, would hurt to crash into there.

[Marcus]

nah im working on stickers...they are damn hard to come by at a reasonable price...no one wants to reply to my emails!!:(

Did you try James or Dave at motographics?

[swabio]

Thanks Swabio. Hope to see you out riding again soon :)

It's time for me to get my beauty sleep. It's a 4am wake up for me...


Hope ya'll had a great day..... and Meng, I will be out at the end of the year ;) or probably early 08 as I will be sorting out my bike in the last couple of weeks of the year and early jan.... those stinking hot trackdays aren't the best anyway :)

[jasonbw]

:) thanks Damien, if you take the laptop that'd be great as a change of plans meant first I wasnt able to come up, but now I'll zip up on the bike. Will seeya all there :)

[Peregrine]

[kellz]

[Bigdog]

I'm about to head out to the Track soon with all the apparel. I should be there by around 10:30 am and will hang around until around 1 pm. See ya's there :ayyy:

[swabio]

It's 0400 and -0.5 degrees. But it's forecasted for MOSTLY SUNNY :D :D :D :D :D!

See yas all there!!!

Reminds me of that day in JUly last year when it was below zero until around noon / 1pm'ish.....

I drove from canberra to syd that day and it really sucked.... took a bit to realise the reason the car was wandering around a bit was due to the ice on the road....... hmmm go the AWD + ESP...... certainly helped out that day! when we stopped @ MAccas Golburn the antenna would not retract as it had turned into an icicle... and there was ice build up of about 2cm thick on all the leading edges of the car....

it was nuts! And passing trucks became interesting with big sheets of ice flying off them! Oh well you guys enjoy the track day ;) I am off to Perisher instead.......going to take my sister-in-law up there as she is from Indonesia and never seen snow!

[jasonbw]

What an awesome day.... GREAT to catch up with so many !!

[Turtle]

What an awesome day.... GREAT to catch up with so many !!

Good to see some of the guys i've met before Dungy, Doggy, Vinnie and good to finally met some more JasonBW, Zippa, DAVID, Damien, Kat00, Kat00'sBoss, Birdman,Timmoa, zROYz, Zee, Kellz.

Yeah not too bad mate, to tell you the truth not having the bike hasn't bothered me too much....wel not as much as i thought it would.....after today being at OP it really gets you wanting a dedicated Trakky.........wouldn't take my pride and joy onto a track again, there's too many risks, as we were talking about today, you only need someone to drop a bit of oil or coolant and your gone......the guys today had a clean dry track and they were dropping like flys !!! Crazy stuff !!

Yeah I know I'm trying my best to find a tracky but waiting for one and hearing everyone one enjoy them selfs is killing me.. haha. it all comes down to $$ and right place and time!!

[MadHatter]

Must.. get.. to next trackday..

[juiced-r1]

Matman and I came out quickly for a look. Most of the guys were in between sessions so we just blended in. Catch up with you guys next Sunday! :)

[jasonbw]

Must.. get.. to next trackday..

:)

[jasonbw]

Did you get home b4 the rain Jase ?? Good to see some of the guys i've met before Dungy, Doggy, Vinnie and good to finally met some more JasonBW, Zippa, Damien, Kat00, Kat00'sBoss, Birdman,Timmoa,zROYz,Zee, Kellz. Weather turned out great, it was a shame that a few had "offs" but i don't think any were too bad.

Turtle

Thanks mate, yep got home with only a bit of rain... did it rain at the track after I left?

[kellz]

was a great day..

but i thought we went to a track day not a motocross day :confused1: lol...

was some funny moments watching guys come back covered in mud from head to toe

must get out on track soon, being pit bitch is getting hard want to ride :D

[MATTK6]

i think there was a coupla of drops just after you left jaspn, i think i saw you leaving as we were coming in, i was in a blue pulsar, but as for the rain, like i said there was a couple of drops and then it stopped

[Alex.]

Went looking for you Jason but someone mentioned to me that you'd left. Thanks for riding up with us.

Was a great day - completely hooked! Was great meeting many RATS.

[dungbeetle]

good to meet a few new faces and to catch up with the regulars!! finally met ya in person jason....:D
mr stompy was the one i saw get the muddiest for the day!! very impressive!! sin had a bit of an altercation, and it was a real shame as he was on his first trackday back since his massive crash at phillip island. but he will return!!
damn zippa....im gonna let down ya tyres next trackday just to have half a chance of keeping up with ya!! i took 2 seconds off my pb and down to a 1.23.36, possibly because the got rid of the bus stop, or maybe cause im riding faster!!
anyway im fukked and goin to bed!!

[zRoYz]

I had a very slow day :lmao: Birdman woke me up about 11am from a nice sleep, which sucked because I was having a super hero dream :ayyy:

Very slow ride to op due to the amount of people wanting to have a peek at my lic photo, I haven't seen so many out for along time. I was a little disappointed when I arrived at op because nobody told me you could play in the mud so left my gum boots at home.

Good to meet more RATS & thanks so much to all the people involved with the bbq (my fav) & clothing which is outstanding, I also now have 2 shirts without grease stains (yet) in my wardrobe. :mod_smilie_rockwoot

Jasonbw you can never come to my house ever, because you wont be able to ride home without that suspension that would strangely go missing (we have suspension eating possums here).

Birdman was also biatching someone covered his bike in rubber, I told him to just stop rubbing himself to hard :lmao:

[VINNIE]

OUTSTANDING DAY............................................. :ayyy:

Great to see so many RATs out there today which made the day even better.

The new apparel that Biggie had organized looks a million bucks.Love your work John:clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:

Our Illawarra Brothers and Sisters were well represented as always :thumbsup:

Track condition was good apart from the mud if you were unlucky enough to come a crop.I think there was more mud out side the pits than what was on some corners after the bikes had been hosed down.The mud played a good part as well.I think there would have been more damage out there today as it provided a soft landing.As for my riding,well i still sit on the bike like i'm going down to the shops with my feet spread out like wings but i am getting quicker with a new PB of 1:31 :mod_smilie_rockwoot

.....and a big thank you to Kat00's Boss,Kat00 and Biggie for doing all the cooking again and by the looks on how quick the food went down it was another success :ayyy:

[kellz]

lol and im sure that riding without rearsets is hard aswell roy lol...
cause apparently gold goes better with blue lol :lmao:

[mrstompy]

was a great day of mud wrestling for me.
luckily no major damage just a bent gear change lever and missing bolt.
will sort that out this week no worries

The track fairing (and foot of mud) saved the bike from any serious damage.
the worst bit was the following session when the gear lever fell of (cause of the missing bolt) then i pull off the track just to get bogged again. most embarressing.

anyway thanks for organising the day and see you all again next time.

[Marcus]

Great day, totally hooked! I didnt get to meet as many people as I wanted :(

Couple of moments, a mate went wide just as I was passing him on turn 8- next lap I touched the rear brake which sent me sideways around the whole thing (anyone see it?). Nearly went bush overtaking the black and yellow ducati with spoked wheels on turn 5 as he pushed me wide! :cursing:

Im not sure about the whole outside only overtaking in my group... I never seen so many near crashes and unpredictable behaviour. I guess I have to live with it until I get faster.

It was interesting jumping on the RVF400- I worked it out: I havent ridden it in 3 months- It was like learning it all again! :hatter:

Best part, trying to overtake everyone from the back of the pack in D group, couldnt quite catch the first 2. Oh well, next time. I did manage to overtake 4 people in in one go at turn 1 and 3 people 9/10

Managed a 1:37 on my second session :Kat00: (heaps of traffic)

[VINNIE]

Forgot to thank Dungy for organizing the day.Your the man Al :clap:

[dungbeetle]

nice work marcus...didnt get to meet ya but ill catch ya at the next one..


no prob vin...i fukken love organising these things:D

[jasonbw]

Sad I miss you MattK6, I guess you were the one coming in the drive (female passenger?)
Vinnes so right Bigdog, the shirt is outstanding!!!! Great work !!!!
Thanks heaps Dungy for organising it all, phark you were flying today, you suuuure you need to sell :( After you told me your PB 1:23, Ray, Damien and I were on the pitwall watching you fly around, I told them I'd 'guess' your laptime was 1:23... Damien timed you at 1:23.6 next lap .. I told them the truth later, not before they were wondering how I knew :) :)
And thanks Kellz for making us feel welcome, and Turtle and Damien for the great teamwork on suspension duties :)
Zroyz and Birdman, thanks for all the compliments and the yak about the bike, can't wait to see yours all done... thats my dream, a CBR1K trakkie :) good move.

Got to wonder Zippas laptimes, every time he flew past while I was on pitwall videoing I had the whole "motoGP" wind buffet shake happen .. :)

Alex (749Dark) had a ball, hope he posts up his first trackday experiences to inspire the virgins amongst us :)

I'm amazed though, what a great atmosphere in your pits... the IRA and RATs make a good combination, were talking a winter trackday and 30 something turned up.. fantastic... lots of effort in putting that together, BBQ & drinks, (Lyn and all else who helped) thanks RATs.

Trakkie or not, I'll be coming to more of these even if I'm not riding :) :) that was a great day !

[Zee]

Yeah I'll second that. :ayyy:
If you're not riding that day, come and hang out just the same.
Zippa just gets quicker and quicker. He's down to 1.18's :eyecrazy: :clap:

[Zippa]

Great day once again. Thanks to Al for organising :ayyy: & to all the other RATS there making trackdays socially fun as well as the riding part. Love seeing everybody helping out with tools, spares, tyre warmers etc :mod_smilie_rockwoot

As for the riding part, had a new rear slick fitted to the 400 at the start of the day & crusied around in the first session, track was still a little cold though fun.

Rest of the sessions were even better with some great riding weather. Some slowish riders in A group made things interesting (MV Agusta doing 1.35's ???) and with a mate of mine on another 400 to play with & improve times. We were doing consistent 1.19's in traffic, 1.18s with a half clear run & then with the empty track for the last session both down to 1.17's. (well was told that, Ben had a lap timer on his 400) Track is much kinder without that bloddy bustop after turn 3 :wtf1:

Also nice to meet some members i haven't before & a special mention to Jeff & Simon Black, sharing the fairing less FZR600. PB's for Jeff (Trumstr) & Simon was smoking along on his first trackday with a grin from ear to ear.

And as Jay would say " I love trackdays" :mod_smilie_rockwoot

[swabio]

good to see you had a good day ppl!

[sharpe1]

Great to hear no rain. I was worried as the forecast wasn't good. Hope everyone had a great day.

[trumpst]

Thanks again for organizing another great day at OP, Dungie:ayyy: Simon (buntz) and I had a great time- the old FZR600, now with no fairings after they blew off at last track day, went really well back to back sessions. Simon's first track day and he managed consistent 1.38-1.35's - his smile after session 1 was well worth the effort to get him there. Another track day 'junkie' :clap: :clap:
I was happy in C group -especially after the expected large numbers jumped ship and ended up in the large D! 1.31 fairly consistent- don't know how much more the fizzer can go without some serious scraping- hit pegs pretty regularly!
Must make more time to catch up with many more of you all at next one. (Get to em all before OP closes!!!)

[dallas]

yep, awesome day,...

my day started out crap,with my worst first session ever... almost took out a bloke in turn 2 on the second lap, and a major highside later on that session.. mainly due to my bieng rough and not smooth. lucky to keep it upright ...

rest of the day became better, with a session or two of going hard, and another just playing with skipp and the like... managed a 1:24, so alittle better on my PB from last time (although with the bus stop though). I for one like the bus stop.... did learn alot about rear wheel sliding though, esp in the left hander before the flip flop...

here are some snaps i managed to take, and i think they speak for themselves....

Hey Brother, I see Turtle (Ray) helped you set up your suspension too. He did mine when he did some other work on my bike and now its really awsesome, its a lot easier to go fast when its set up right.

[jasonbw]

Turtles a good guy hey.... damn glad I found this site!

[Marcus]

Pic's are up guys

Hopefully there are some of me going around joe on the outside so he will stop bugging me on MSN

[kellz]

yeh found some nice ones of dungy...zippa, and that dude on that fluro orange deadbull redback bike that was in teh garage next to us

havent looked through the other grades yet

[lilninja]

Yeah orange zx10 it makes life a hell of a lot easier, Im not that much faster but its a lot less scary taking corners and knowing the bikes gonna do what you want it to!
