ZX9 Tracky

Well been busy but have managed to progress to the stage that she is ready for some track action to see what need doing. Not going to paint the race glass as I have run out of time.

Progress:
New brake pads (peace of mind more than required)
Some new boots - Metzeler Racetec Interact Track Days
Race Glass (obviously) but have left off tail bit as too hard to mount as I will have to make up some brackets

Oran Park here we come....on Wednesday...Wooohoooo

A little word of advise ....... Don't fall off this time

A little word of advise ....... Don't fall off this time

Don't intend to devo, this is just to have a ride and discover a bit about it, besides i'm getting too old and the pain takes sooooo much longer to heal these days...
But then again I'm a bit of a hoon from way, way back and thats why I got a tracky.

Secret is the balance between death wish and chicken factor. I learnt a lot from my first track day, mostly how little I know about riding fast in general and specially on a track and learning to trust the tyres...so much different to going fast on 4 wheels. The thing I love, like most I suppose is the lack of traffic in the opposite direction and things that want to jump out and hurt you.

looks good mate hope ya have a blast

One for the track, one for the road...nice
The blue beast is just too pretty for the track.
Now the pressure is off !
Enjoy

Excited for you man, have a blast and congrats on the Track9

looking good there, now just need a track to have fun on.

Well it's been a while but I finally got the fairings painted.

Have fitted up to have a look as I just couldn't wait...

Now to put some stickers on it.

Mate I'm booked onto PI for 26/27 April. Might be a bit much for this ol fart.

Finally got a few pics from Marulan with the finished product.

Love the bush settings

aint looking too laidback in those shots

Well decided, seeing that the exchange rate is so good, to part with some hard earned and put a couple of extra bits on the tracky.

First was a score from ebay...bit pricey at $1.04...hehehe and yes I will put a decent mounting bolt in it when I get to town.
