May even get the MV rolling by then :-\ The dash should arrive this week so I can fire it up.
If everything goes to plan that could be a good opportunity to iron out some issues it may have and make some adjustments. In any case it will be good to blow the cob webs out of the monster. Title: Re: Track Day EC - 9th May Post by: mattyvas on March 29, 2009, 02:15:01 AM cool there will be a good group of S4Rs's out there.

Title: Re: Track Day EC - 9th May Post by: mattyvas on April 09, 2009, 02:08:23 AM Just spoke to Waz, spaces still available for the 9th.
Just booked one for Craigo, after he does Superbike School on Feb 24th. So how many does that make. Vince (his second home) Gianni Matty Big T Craigo Any others? Title: Re: Track Day EC - 9th May Post by: mattyvas on May 09, 2009, 02:24:58 AM Track day went ahead today.
What a ripper day, under a clear blue sky we all learnt more about ourselves and our rides. Big started a little shakey exploring lots of real estate on the track but it didn't take him long to find his way round. Craigo but his recently practiced Superbike School skills to the test eliminating all the chick stripes from the S2R 800. As for me, well I had a hug eye opening day riding "The Bull". Gave it a big twist of the throttle in the first session then bought it back a couple of pegs. Huge head wobbles coming onto the straight cause with me on it the front end is just so lite. Had a great finding out just how much fun an S4Rs is.............. Will do it again pretty soon but have a few bits to add before then. [evil] [evil] Title: Re: Track Day EC - 9th May Post by: Big T on May 09, 2009, 02:38:31 AM Was a ripper of a day. [moto]
As Matty stated my first session was "exploring" the track lines as this was my fist track day at Eastern Creek. But soon got into the rhythm and had a blast. Certainly blew the cob webs out of the Virgins. And huge thanks to Vince who rode a session with me (leading and following) showing me the lines.... Helped heaps... And great to see Betty, Jukie (thanks Jukie for the calf massages [bow_down] ) and Steph for the visit. PS: Okay the boy racer in me has to tell you all that I passed a Desmo on the track today... Twice..... (Thanks Vince for waving me through .. [thumbsup] ) PSS: In my best Arnie impersonation....... "I'll be back...."

The headers look like they are gonna drag on the ground.
