The only problem is he fell off at everyone of those tracks....lol.

hello JohnnyO...nice to see you here ...hope your bones are healing well.

Hey Johnny!

So we've finally converted you back to Kwacka mate?

If you're changing bikes you'll need to fuss over a gear lever all over again! Better just paint the Gixer green.

Hi *Johnny O* - sounds like you have ridden at a few good tracks......but not at Amaroo ?? thats a surprise, considering how long you have been racing....

Just checked my records for your 9th in the Aussie Superbikes back in 1995 - Did you mean ARRC Champs or Shell Superbikes ?

Shawn Giles finished 9th after 6 rounds of the Shell Superbikes, and at the second round of the ARRC champs at EC in July of '95, there was a *John Phelan* on a ZXR750, who was 13th overall after 2 rounds - 13th in Leg 1 and 12th in Leg 2.

Welcome aboard.

QR not worth mentioning hey

Welcome Johnny, hope to read some sweet posts of your history some time

Shell Superbike Championship, I was the first non factory supported rider.

Yeh I own a Suzuki GSXR1000K6 but I work at Peter Stevens so I ride a Kawasaki regularly.

Thanks Tack the bones are healing well, it's the muscle & nerve damage that is taking a while, I'm getting CNC engineering in Thomastown to make up a heal-toe gearlever for my bike this Thursday so I can get back on the track sooner. We'll have to catch up some time soon?
