I to have met and ride regularly with Phil Harlem who commentates the Aus Supers and support classes for WSBK and motoGp also does Ride Rage radio. Top bloke with a mind like a steel trap for dates and figures on all manner of motorcycle trivia and rides like the wind. Phil always gives great advice on what to and not to get in the way of Winter Jackets and motorcycles(ZX9s) I had the pleasure of accompanying Phil, Ken, Greg and Steve for a test ride on 08 600s for AMCN this year. Thanks mate...

Back in the old days when motorbicycles raced around Bathurst. I'm pretty sure the aforementioned Rob Phyllis took a punter around the track who had won a radio competition or something similar. If I also remember correctly he got to the end of Conrod (pre Caltex Chase days) and went straight on up the exit road, thus scaring the living shit out of the punter who was expecting him to turn left.......

+1 Kevin Magee, met at CB race school. There wasn't a question he wouldn't answer including his nasty incident that nearly cost him his life.

Had some funny stories that he probably should not have shared but did anyway. The best thing he did for me was help me understand turn 2 and get round it.
