Just dawned on me: You guys burn Methanol? How'd that come about? Is that side by side with gas burners?

Australia and New Zealand allowed Methanol in roadracing classes for many years. In NZ we're allowed it for fourstrokes up to 1989.
Many people on a budget just run gas. At this level of competition the rider ability has more to do with success than power.
Phillip Island of course sees maximum effort - it's a fast track and a big meeting.

Hey John, really nice bike, and from the looks of that tire, you've got plenty of trust it'll stick!

I haven't been as agressive on the throttle but the tyres are worn all the way out to the edge, this on my GS. :)

Dunlop Sportmax Sportsmart are also awesome. :D
 
Finally got some on track photos from the last Track Day. You'll have to excuse the poor form, still learning, but having fun. :)

Hey J, you look OK.
I can't figure out, why would Louisiana have a last track day, except on Dec. 31st? :confused:

Thanks Bil, the track is Cresson Motorsports Ranch. It's located a few miles SW of Fort Worth, Tx. There are a couple of track days in Tx. after this one, but this is the last one put on by my buddy Jeff Nash @ Advanced Motor Sports. There are tracks closer (Houston) but they don't have the elevation changes this one does. There is only one track in Louisiana, and it's on the other end of the state from me.

Yes, that would be him! Originally from New Zealand and still has family there. He is the owner of Advanced Motor Sports/Ducati Dallas in Dallas, TX. Really great guy and one of the best Ducati engine builder/tuners around.

I only met him a couple of times through mutual friends in the BEARS club.
Tell him we're still here despite the quake - and it's about time he came back for the Sound Of Thunder meeting, preferably with a quick Ducati.

The damage has got low side/front lock up writen all over it......
@ Pedda: hope you came out of it not too banged up mate, nice bike by the way

Pretty right that is. Lost front grip in a fast 5th gear left hander, Katana performing a lovely salto into the gravel. Me sliding with my ripcage over the curbs, bumped heavily, I tell ya. For the following weeks that caused me some severe...errr... yes, let's face the truth... ahem.... labour pain everytime I tried to do something copious on the toilet... :-\\\

Besides that I had two fingers' capsules grinded by the tarmac.
