    Part 1 is up..
    I'll finish it off tomorrow.
    There are 220 odd photos to cut through yet.

    Late April 2010, I think. That sounds about right. The crash was in early May and I haven't ridden since. Not that I haven't wanted to, it...

    MCNEWS has some excellent shots..
    I was talking to the bloke in the pits.
    The howitzer he was carting around probably cost the same as my house..

    Still, I had fun.. I rode.
    For the first time since April, I rode.

    I'm just drafting up a blurb on the weekend now.
    It'll be done by the end of the week.
    In the meantime, this should explain just how much fun I had..

    What a weekend!
    Steve Martin clocked 1.39.something.
    That is indecently quick around the Island.

    I'm going through my photos and will put something together by the end of the week.

    Definitely required! How can you possibly think it's optional?

    From the info I saw on mcnews.com.au there's a few kats doing the rounds today as well as XR69's and I belive the RG500 also, nice.

    And Steve Martin is quick for sure! I even picked his Ducati up out of the kitty litter in the rain at Queensland Raceway once, then Craig McMartin the race after, same spot exiting turn two.

    I spent 3 or so hours in the hills.
    Tonight was a barbie with a few friends and a couple of cleansing ales.

    Tomorrow it's on for real.

    I'll write it up with photos in it's own thread if you think it's worth it
    Pics/info of your ride and the race bikes would be great.
    -18C, 25kmh wind and snow today means pics of warm bike stuff are required!

    Sounds far less painful to me...

    I've had better days, Pete.
    But I'm out of the game now.
    I'm turning back to Admin and OH&S. Better pay and less damage.

    Yeah, I rolled the truck at the start of last May that's what did the damage.

    Nice, you *are* keen! I would be too...

    Prang? I don't recall any prang, but I'm guessing this would be the source of the colar bone issue...

    Now I'm disappointed, Pete.. Sort of.
    I have my kit packed for the weekend already. That's a little eager I think.
    They're saying mid 30's for Sunday.
    I must say, I'm a little apprehensive about the ride. It's the first one since the prang but I figure the shoulder will stand up to a little punishment now.
