I'm aiming for the 29th at QR with you guys, but should be at MP the weekend before on the 22/23, and there will be a trackday on the Friday the 21st I think, which I'm pushing for but might not make. Borngreen said he might be there also on that Friday and it's a completely new track for you to have a look at, do it!

QR, is locked in, looks like it will be rideday only at MP on the friday, was looking at the coaching day on the thursday,but fri seems to be what will happen. new track, so that will be fun.

Mikes allways been like that, was the only guy i dealt when i needed tyres, and i used to go thru a lot, banged out a lot of Ks back then. good to see he is still goin. havent seen him for many years, been in melbourne since 97.but great to hear hes still goin, look after people and they will come back.

Maybe someone should ask him if he wants to be a sponsor? god knows we need more good shops out there??

Mike seemed to think that because my brembo's are so bloody awesome the front end isn't compressing all the way like they would if you really grab a handful.

All in all really happy, just means I need to ride it a lot harder Mike charged me nothing, gave me some idea's for when i really want to get serious, (ohlins valves, heavier rear spring etc) and sent me on my way on much better feeling bike. Also suggested dropping the front by lowering the triple tree by 3mm on the fork and seeing how that felt, which should stop the front end push in corners (sounds like a good weekend project)

So if you're in Brisbane, Mikes bike and car tyres at Brendale, great bloke who really seems to know his stuff

No matter his name a really top bloke who knows his stuff, and seems to have some pretty good deals
