Kawasaki Sportsbike Riders Club - Australia - Online Forum

Yeah can't remember the year but last time I stayed there in a tent we had wind and rain that wanted to send the tent down to Tasmania, and to top it off I forgot my sleeping bag DOH! Survived to tell the tale but.

what about Bundy???

Either one or Jack Daniels even.... Depends on what's the cheapest in the San Remo Foodworks

I'll stick wth bundy, american whisky makes my clothes fall off.

Sawft the lot of yas, I have stayed at the GP - in a tent in trackside campground - every year bar one since the GP's returned to the island in 97. Yes it gets a bit chilly, man up and camp - it's not even "real" camping..........youve got like a tent, not just a groundsheet strung up in the trees

BTW, I am up at 0530-0600 every morning to get ready to go to work (have been since 96 anyway) shower shit and shave and I'm away

I know the feeling use to travel the F3 at 430am in the morning rain, hail, sleet, so cold isnt a prob on the bike, the main concern was the tent in the howling winds. Losing it mainly due to wind. also the fact of having to transport it all on the new 9.

Just remember to keep your tent zipped up when you walk away from the camp-site.

Buy a name brand tent - with an awning that you can get your shoes on in.

Sorry Nelso, I can still see the look on your face

good call will be shopping tomorrow then, plus a cheaper option.

I suppose 12yrs in the joint will do that to a man

Right now its 9.5 degrees and overcast . Stiff breeze here at the Cowes WWTP so at the track will be blowing strong from the North West .

Thanks for the update

Narrowed my camping down to 2 options

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Ferrino-Ligh ... 3a616e6be2

thinking the Ferrino option.

Oh crap, then I'll have to go to the camping stores and test them. Bugger they were cheaper.
