Hey Johnny! :D :D

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

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

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.

Thanks Tack :D 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?
