What a blast, if you've been I'm sure you'd agree. If you haven't book in and get ready for another addiction ! Where else can you do 265 plus kilometers and hour and not be in the shit for it if you get caught ??? [leo] Thanks to Dockstrada, Jukie & Betty for popping in and saying Herro. We'll be booking another one soon as everyone's confidence and ability grew as the day went on [thumbsup] Title: Re: Who has been to the Creek ?

Title: Re: Who has been to the Creek ? Post by: mattyvas on May 13, 2010, 01:16:48 AM Started doing them on the 620. Used to ring it's neck as best I could.
Those MIVV's used to make a hell of a noise on the straight [evil] Have done 4-5 on the S4Rs and love it even more. Gotta be the best fun you can have on two wheels. Need new rubber before I can do another one got a plug in the rear tyre. That is unless I can borrow someone's B&W 1198s ;) Title: Re: Who has been to the Creek ? Post by: craigo on May 13, 2010, 01:29:40 AM DMF Trackday 28/9 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e6SLg98MgdU#lq-lq2-hq-vhq)
EC is tops. First bike is Melvin threading the turn 1 needle. Matty's 620 with Mivvs at full noise is from about 35 seconds onwards. Sounds better than the S4RS behind it with an Akro imho [laugh] [laugh] Title: Re: Who has been to the Creek ? Post by: Nickati on May 13, 2010, 01:39:00 AM Sweet memories ;D

Good to see Kaz having a go [thumbsup] Title: Re: Who has been to the Creek ?

Title: Re: Who has been to the Creek ? Post by: signora monster on May 16, 2010, 11:37:08 PM Thanks heaps fellas for all your kind words. I was terrified before I started, then a little worried on the first lap and then just had a hoot every other lap after that. I can't wait do it again, except heaps faster next time!!!!!!
I am looking forward to booking another Sunday at Eastern Creek real soon, so to all the OzMonsters out there, expressions of interest please........ ..........because I can't wait to do it again!!!!! [thumbsup] ;D Title: Re: Who has been to the Creek ? Post by: howcoolisjorgelorenzo on May 20, 2010, 12:07:42 AM [evil]
Title: Re: Who has been to the Creek ? Post by: tricolore on June 02, 2010, 01:58:21 AM Anyone going to ECR over the long weekend? I am booked for the medium group on the MV for monday 14th.
Will be picking up the Duc and the MV from Dmoto tomorrow after a bit of servicing and tweaking... hopefully your recommendations to them will be appreciated. So far so good all seems great. Title: Re: Who has been to the Creek ? Post by: mattyvas on June 02, 2010, 02:04:02 AM I might pop out for a look see Monday, I know Dock will be there.
Saw your bikes out there last week they are in very good hands, I know George said the MV is well sorted now. Your monster is so pristine though, no road rash on the engine at all. I wish mine was half as nice as that. Title: Re: Who has been to the Creek ? Post by: Two dogs on June 02, 2010, 02:08:44 PM Hay Matty , can you turn up "pay n play" or must you pre pay?
Are you riding this day or just perving? I would also be keen for a Monster track day any one else want to commit to one soon? It would be good to go with some seasoned track [evil] demon's for advice on tyre psi, corner speeds etc kind of like our own superbike school. Oh any anyone else a bit weary of all this rain [puke] Title: Re: Who has been to the Creek ? Post by: Dockstrada on June 02, 2010, 05:57:00 PM Yep im up for the 12th and 14th [thumbsup]
Title: Re: Who has been to the Creek ? Post by: mage on June 02, 2010, 07:17:35 PM Glad to hear you all had a great time on the track, when I find a bit more courage I'll have to have a go here at Simonds Plains. Was just curious , having one myself, how fast the 620 got up to. Specs reckon 190 but I think they would go a bit more than that. [thumbsup]
Title: Re: Who has been to the Creek ? Post by: mattyvas on June 02, 2010, 07:55:37 PM Hey Dez,
It's not arrive and ride you have to book and pay in advance. There are usually waiting lists you can get on for each day and the staff can advise if it's worth your while turning up on that in the event of people not being able to attend at last minute or people binning it. I group day is always great, it's fun to share your experiences of the sessions. As to psi most on road tyres usually start on 28 psi cold, corner speed well that is personal feel really. I can't advise you to take it into turn 1 flat out at 200 cause I'll most likely need to be there to catch you on the outside of the turn. I can say on my 620 I carried about 160-ish through turn 1, as to the rest dunno too busy looking ahead. What those of us who have been there can help others with is where to be on what parts of the track. Title: Re: Who has been to the Creek ? Post by: tricolore on June 03, 2010, 12:01:43 AM I might pop out for a look see Monday, I know Dock will be there. Saw your bikes out there last week they are in very good hands, I know George said the MV is well sorted now. Your monster is so pristine though, no road rash on the engine at all. I wish mine was half as nice as that. It probably would have the road rash and grime if I rode it more :-\ P.S. Like my "Bunnings" paint job on the MV ;D I can be a real tite ass when I want.... Title: Re: Who has been to the Creek ? Post by: mattyvas on June 03, 2010, 12:04:10 AM Hey it's for the track, so it's function over $$$

Post by: spotcom on June 03, 2010, 01:16:13 AM Ah, G'day Dock, fancy meeting you here...
I'll be at the Creek on the 12th too. I'll be testing the Monster 696 that I'm going to start racing this year on (F3 nakedbikes). I'll hopefully bring the 848 as well (and hopefully keep the bastard upright). 8) Title: Re: Who has been to the Creek ?
