Mate, i just need to get fit... the last track day showed me that.. ive had a change of jobs in the last 18 months, and im sittin on my arse a lot, not like my last job, so fittness went down hill
Ive been finding as the sessions go on im struggling, 1st 10 laps are ok, but the last 4 laps fatigue sets in, than mental fatigue, which is not good, thats when mistakes happen.
And after looking at some footage of whole sessions i did, i could see by the end of the sessions i was getting lazy on the bike. And i love my track days, so i want to get the most out of them, and who know's it may help me go a bit faster.... time will tell.

Its great to see your insperation mate !! Shit lucky EC didn't have 14 laps i would still be nakered

Thanks mate, yep im on a mission!!!
Good thing about broady, it only a bit over 2km around, but there is no where to rest, with 12 turns, ur either hard on the gas, or hard on the brakes.......

Broady sounds like a great track mate! hoping to get down there one day as we used to go to heathcote park on many occations
PS back in the drag racing days.

But mostly just Hard On hey BG!

It is a cracking little track. It's not an easy track, so if you don't like camber and elevation changes four or five time in each corner, you may not enjoy Broadford. But it's learning it's little nuances which is the fun part. Anything 250GP or 400 four strokes, will wheelstand down the hill without any effort. With effort, they do it even better. The ZX9R was a corker down there, with enough torque to carry the stand into the braking area for the flip flop. Hell good fun. The 600 will do it, but you need to be really on it. I imagine the Rex would just loft it from 2000rpm I think i'd like to see what a Rex can do around Broadford. I wouldn't want to go too hard and risk tipping the old girl over again, but to have a 8/8.5 tenths crack would be fun. Be nice to see how that Gazi stuff does on the track too. I reckon it might work ok for as long as I could hang onto the bike anyhoo........

As for Riding a pushie, if you want a riding buddy, I'm happy to throw on the MTB shorts and get the bike out for a run. Lysterfield is only 15 minutes from our places. It's got some pretty good tracks. Let me know. Or we can Lycra it if you really want to, but i've seen the results of that and it shouldn't be encouraged!!!

Yer, well col took some photo's with kazz egging him on, prick started showing them around at work But it was to farrking hot to care!!!
So why dont u get the barge up there on the 28th and have a punt around??
Kazz is going to loan me her mountain bike, if i fit on it, as she's only using her road racing bike at the moment.
So yer will have a chat to u about that.

Krusty used to laugh at Shawn Giles doing all the eating and fitness stuff,he would just have a coke and burger and still beat him,makes you wonder though!

Shannon johnson was the same, mega fit.. when he retired from racing, he turned a pro pushy rider, and a damm good one from what i hear... saw him eating a donut at broady one time, and it was the talk of the day!!!

SO gearbox u up for another ride day? 28th is the go mate

He never laughed at him when he past him down the straights and he had to work to get past him again!!

Just imagine if Adam looked after himself

Well 2 weeks in, but who's counting!!!
Still going strong, upgraded to a better pushbike, kazz has loaned me her giant mountain bike, so had my 1st good hitout on it this morn.....
When does the pain stop
