Kawasaki Sportsbike Riders Club - Australia - Online Forum

Hi peoples. I'm new here and I've just recently become a proud Kawasaki owner. In 35+ years of riding I've never owned one, but have owned all the other Japanese brands so, better late than never. I bought an original and unmolested 1986 GPX750R for a sum that's so ridiculous that I won't mention it here and it's at my mechanics at the moment being prepped to go back on the road as my commuter bike.

This is what it looked like when I bought it.



And this is what it looked like after a run through the car wash.



Neat, eh?

However, the major purpose of my posting is to see if anyone can put me in contact with Dave Stone, who, I understand, is a member of this forum. I commentated the last Six Hour race that he promoted at Eastern Creek in the early 2000's and I'm commentating the final Six Hour at Oran Park this weekend. I'd really like to get the results from those late '90's races from Dave if he still has them just to complete my research.

If anyone here can help me get in contact I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks in anticipation.

Guess I'll see you on the weekend then .

Sorry cant help you with Dave's details & I only remeber the important result - when Pitty and Bucky won (98 I think)

That's why I need the results, you see, because I thought that Pitty won the last one in 2000 !!

I am probably wrong as I often am but in 2000 wasn't Team Green Saun Geronomi and Chadd Turnble???
I thought Pity had already gont to Europe by 2000 and was riding the Harold Eckle ZX6.

Pitty's first year in Europe was 2000, title in 01. Bucky won the Aus SS title in 98 before going to America, Pitty was second on the "Rock" ZX6. They teamed up together and won, on the "rock" bike I believe. Pitt went on the take the 99 Aus SS title before heading off with Harald.

Did he win more than 1?

I believe that you are both correct. 2000 was Geonimi and Turnbull, as Pitty had already gone to Europe. I think there was talk on the day that he might actually ride the Team Green bike, but it never eventuated.

1998 would have been the year I missed. I was due to commentate but had pneumonia and didn't make it. I recall that the on-track commentators called me on the phone while the race was on and spoke to me live, which was a nice touch. I was gutted to miss that.

Again this illustrates how handy it would be to have the official results from those races.

BTW, I have updated my personal web site with some stats from the "old" Six Hour as well as some useful links if anyone is interested in following them up.

2000 Race was won by Warrick Nowland/Mark Willis/Jamie (i think) Stauffer.

Graeme Morris was 2nd with Robbie Gee and Tony Rees.
