Thats me and me old lady on the hill with the pink umbrella.

Was cool to watch hemi, think i learnt something.

What No "Team Tank Slapper" Logo's ?. That's it I'm withdrawing my sponsorship & "Your Fridge Privaledges". Last time i take a Banana to the track for ya you ungrateful sod.


Looking good "Veggie Slappa" next round i want you to give the other kids a fair chance & I insist you better tape up the GipXER6. in preparation

Cheers "Nana Slappa"

Eh Hemi,

Awesome shots, & gr8 commentary.

Felt like I was there with ya mate

Thats one thing I wanna do one day. Will have to get my hands on
a track bike & trailor.

Anyone in Melb know if you can hire a bike at trackside, bc I aint doing
laps on my roadbike. Big no no..

Great stuff Hemi. Looks like you had a ball.

How did you place Hemi?

Are you sure you are passing them and didnt just post the photos in the wrong order?

Stereo

excellent photos mate, you need to get the best of the *passing* shots and have it enlarged to poster size - frame it and bung it up in the loungeroom.......

Great work, I am *really* jealous now ya barstage !!!!!

Hehehe good stuff Gos, it's all about making others jealous.....

Lol Stereo ya bastard, very funny. If ya want the details the report is in the trackdays section. If I was on a Kwaka they would be in the racing section, but it does say Kawasaki Racing etc. etc. etc.... If only I could afford a Ten.

Will post some new pics up soon from another mate, Stretch on the 10R is in one of them too.
