Click for More information (http://www.easterncreekridedays.com.au/shop/home.php?cat=249)

Here are the groups and my opinion where some of us fit; based on the time I have spent with some of them riding on the road and track . So if you ride with some of these guys and think you can fit the same group its up to you, Just one thing the higher he group the more ruthless the passing and braking, your not riding with mates up to the Pie shop, there are guys (losers) thinking they are going to get discovered buy a major bike manufacturer for the next round of the super bikes so there is heaps of passing and corner pressure.


White (Slow) First timers not based on speed and ability on the road just the new environment.

Yellow (Slow/Med) Matty , BIG AL  (one thing Matty is talking down his ability for those of you thinking )

Green (Med/Fast) Rusty,Dock (I and I feel Rusty mostly ride to 60% on the road)

Red (Fast) Big Ian ( well I don’t know about Big Ian he's just to dam Quick)

So if you are interested let me know which group you would like to be in.

So far,

White Cragio , Melvin , ace70

Yellow Matty ,Tricolore

Green  Dock , Rusty , Pigmy


PM me with you prefered group if you are interested  

Do I have De-Ja-Vu?
Are we doin it?

No De-Ja-Vu Tri just added ace70.

Should get a reply from my mate tomorrow about 12pm, if not im just going to book and bring my own lunch .The food at the track is Shit.

So il let you all know  [thumbsup]

                                            Mmick (In the bloody car)

mick, bring your leathers.if you can loose a few inches off  your height and look like a wog
you can then have a go on my bike.

WHAT!!

I'm 1' 6" taller than you, and and, oh! I guess thats why you are called Pigmy  [thumbsup]





                                                          Mmick

Hey Mick i can bring the good to the track if you like [thumbsup]

Is there anything I should be preparing for? Having never done a track day, thought I would pick some brains for tips on surviving the day.
I remember my first Enduro, Man was I underprepared... poor tyre choice, blinkers, and no idea what to expect. Anyway I survived that but would prefer to be organised. I have noticed some people have pvc tape over lights etc, Why?

That's in case you have a stack, god forbid, and you don't leave glass all over the track.

Normally you have a colour tape over your light to indicate the group you are in.
Bring tools along to take your mirrors off if you want otherwise they will be taped up by organizers.
First day out I ran 30/30 psi in my tires. This time I might start a little lower.
If you are bringing it on your trailer bring your paddock stand if you have one.

 Let me see what else, big bottle of water and bring your own lunch food is okay out there but not great.

cheers
Matty...

Should be an awesome day,  I'm looking forward to it. I am gonna trailer everything as well. Less stress and more comfort.

Based on my previous (single) experience, if you are taking a trailer, tape your lights and remove mirrors the night before. Less stress when you get there. .  Umm you may wanna bring Fuel as well :)

People were removing/taping their number plate as circuit breakers.. not sure what the  deal with that was. It's not like there's speed cameras.   ;D


I think you might need to put a bar end cap on as well Tri if you remove your mirrors (not sure if you are allowed to have just the bars sticking out the end of the grips). 

Tri bring some fuel you will need it last track day I did over 300km so think about how much fuel she eats when you’re up her :o

Bring a chair, something to eat as Matty said the food is crap .a hat, ear plugs. Bring something to change out of your leather at the end of the day

Your head light is plastic Tri so nothing to worry about.

The track is not as daunting as it’s made out to be lots of people talk it up. Its much easer than you thing. if you run at you own pace, consider you have 10 mtrs of track width to play with and no nasty surprises coming the other way. Just chill and have a great day you’ll love it.

The fact that you ride a Dirt bike is a bonus, I do some dirt work my self and I can tell you if you have ever been to Belangelo State forest doing full throttle on some of the bends and fire trails while your rear wheel trying to over take you, than you have nothing to fear. the track is a walk in the park. There is no one throwing rocks from their knobblies at you as they overtake.

does anyone want to take my spot? i won't be going for variety of reasons so if anyone one of you wants to buy my place ......... make me an offer and PM me if interested

Does that include the bike Rob??   ;D ;D





                                                     Mmick

mick, i have complete faith in you ........ if you want to use my bike ....... take it, not a problem
the only thing is that i'm booked in the white group ........ but if that doesn't bother you ..than the bike is yours for the day

Hey Rob,

    What's up just getting over the flu that's been at you for a few weeks I hear.

Come on Rob waz up dude, ???

exactly.......been sick for 4 weeks now, other than a y'days run to Bar Italia i haven't been on a bike, don't feel all that good still; likely not to ride next week as well
it just doesn't feel like a safe thing to do to go an a track in this state, as well as i'm going o/s on monday 2 weeks from the track day ......... just don't feel right in my mind, i'm not in a correct frame of mind to go and ride; seems unsafe

Well that's just not good then, best you do as your better judgement says.
What-c-ya doing with the Monster while you're away, need a minder?

Craigo, I PM you incase you need a lift... Have trailer will travel!

still no one is interested?
v   v   v


does anyone want to take my spot? i won't be going for variety of reasons so if anyone one of you wants to buy my place ......... make me an offer and PM me if interested

So that was you?  [laugh] [laugh] [laugh]
Seriously, thanks guys I will see you there. Rain Dance anyone?

Found out why people cover or remove numberplates, to remove possibility of identification of bike by insurers incase of claim  ???

Depending on how far you got with "track day preping" your bike, you can always do a run out to the Shell servo on the GWH around lunchtime. (I've happily done it with a taped headlight and no mirrors, if you're doing to go so far as removing the headlight and indicators and sidestand, this becomes a less viable option.)

Oh, and removing the headlight isn't a bad idea - have you priced up a replacement from Ducati lately? They used to want ~$600 for the complete unit for mine, and didn't bother selling individual bits, unlike BMW who'll happily sell me the same front glass bit as an original Bosch part which is a spare part for a BMW R80 for ~$40...

big

Just flicking through the paperwork from E.C.R.D they have suggested replacing the Glycol for water and corrosion inhibitor? Is that something I should do? I understand that that Glycol is pretty slippery if it leaks  out ???

That's a hard requirement for race bikes, but I don't think anyone really expects people with roadbikes at trackdays to do it...

big

Thanks Rob, but I will pass, hate to have the 'Red Mist' decend upon me, and things go pear shaped.




No!  Like Ian said, its a rule for race bikes, not for us blokes tooling around.

I'll be out there about 09:30 and I'm bringing out some bottled water, tools and a stand for the twin swingarm bikes, so if you are not trailering your bike out don't worry about trying to carry those things.

NO!!!  We want a SUN dance, forecast is, fine and sunny for the next six days





                                                 Mmick

Good on ya Mick always nice to see there is still someone do something for nothing .doing it just because your a ledg [thumbsup]

Ok So I plan to be at the track between 7.30 a 8 Just look for a silver f250,I normaly try to park in front of the garage im in [thumbsup]

Great Dock,
 
               Makes it easy to spot, so I should be there about 8:00 ish ish oh and I did a little sun dance and the forcast is for a mild day 22c possible showers late afternoon, which should be just about perfect.




                                                              Mmick

See you all there, I will be the one with the stupid grin ;D

Boy we had a great day , best conditions I have had yet. Good to see you all out there having fun to day ,We must do it again.

Tri you machine sounds awesome full noise, and has the looks to match.

A special thanks to Mick for the refreshments [thumbsup]

Sorry no pics today Matty's day off  [coffee]

Gee your quick and not only on the track.
Excellent day, perfect temp's for bike/rider comfort.
Thanks for the burn on the big girl my last time round.
Sorry you didn't get a good listen to her but I'm happier it came back with all it's bit in the same place.

and yes a big thank to Mmick for the drinks and for the support.

cheers
Matty...

                          vote one mick for captain.  [thumbsup]

well done craigo , pure porn i dont think theres a better sound than a duc , pure porn  [clap]

gotta love you guys on the track i just which i was there, been around that track in the car but never on the bike  [thumbsup]

Craig, that's excellent thanks heaps for that.
So great to see and hear yourself out there.
Next time I'll ask someone to take my bike around just to hear what she sounds like on the day.
Excellent footage, really chuffed  ;D ;D

lucky pricks.
I'll make it to the next one if I can get myself some leathers... do they have to attach to your jacket? my icon jacket doesnt have any connectors for pants.

Yeh thanks craig great job.Hey I can take the girl around if you like Matty  Il be gentle [evil]

yeh right you be gentle  
 
(http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/36/36_12_6.gif)

Looking good Stephen i can almost see the grin through the dark tint. ;D,as long as you had fun and made it home it was a great day

Yes Jukie I have been told I can be gentle in the right situation ,I just can't put my finger on it   ??? [cheeky]

i bet you can but i think we are on the wrong thread to be talking about this

Ok im booked for a track day on the 26th of this month, can i tempt anyone ;D [moto]

tempted....

You guys are having way to much fun......

No can do the 26th Oct (junket eerrrr conference to attend) but you have my attention for future track days......  8)

Ok so 26th of Oct Track day is on [thumbsup]

So far ;D
Dockstrada (monster)
Mattyavs (monster)
Zeyad (R1) Japper mate
Simon(R6) Japper mate

Should be a great day  [thumbsup]

Still some spots left for any late comers www.easterncreektrackdays.com.au [thumbsup]

 

And a great day it was, not too warm a nice breeze passing through the garage.
Excellent track conditions, fresh oil changed myself (with Vince's help) well actually he changed it then when I announced after the job was done
That it was my first ever time doing this myself, Why didn't ya tell me I would have let you burn your own fingers off pulling the sump plug. (I'd just ridden from the City)

Back to the day, where was I, ah yes good conditions slight cloud cover good track temp not too hot.
Vince giving the Jap bike Thou's a hiding, get to the 4th session on my warm up lap after missing the first couple of laps of the session.
Rounding turn 7 before Corporate Hill long left hander, glance over to my right to see a fella on his TL 1000R had placed himself on a narrowing piece of real estate.
So how do you get yourself out of that situation, he gives it a hand full of wellie and hey presto over the top he went.
He was about half a bike length in front of me to my right and I just watched it in slow motion....

I couldn't believe I was seeing it, I felt terrible inside my helmet cause I felt like he was out there cause of me but then I corrected myself and thought well all he needed to do was wait one corner and he would have been safely by.
Poor mate Zeeat behind who was on an out lap with me had to avoid the bike sliding off one way and the rider going the other.
Went to check on the rider at the Medical centre after the session was red flagged, he was in okay shape hand and feet moving.
But couldn't remember what happened and all he kept saying was This wasn't supposed to happen!

Lets hope track day #4 is not as eventful for me.
I hear though that Vince is sticking the S4RS on slicks!!!!
He's already grinning like a teenager running SuperCorsa Pro's, slicks are gonna make him grin like a teenager who just saw his first nudie girl and took off to tell his mates. On Slicks!

My nose as been all choked up since I burnt the tip of my nose clearing finger on that sump plug, But yes it was good to have a fresh batch of oil in the sump ;D

As for the Ltr Japer’s the monster can defiantly hold its own against them on the track.

The only let down would be in to turn 1 and 12  but I think a good damper set up, slicks and some suspension setup would short that out

As for Matty you were tearing it up all day long being one of the fastest in you group,
All I can say is you are defiantly asking you baby to make commitments she can’t deliver  ???

Can’t wait to see you on a more capable machine you’ll be hot on my tail  [popcorn]

All fun day cant wait until the next one ,Which happens to be on the 13th of December He He  [moto]

Doing a Circuit breakers on the 24th of November anyone interested [thumbsup]

http://www.circuitbreakers.com.au/ (http://www.circuitbreakers.com.au/)

Yeah course I am.
Am I being to much too much of a hanger-oner!

just turn it round matty - be the first to post up the next one the day after you do this one...

True, but this will most likely be my last before we head away in December.
I knew Vince was looking to do this one with Circuit Breakers.

vince = track junkie

matty = see description of vince

hhhmm looks like Vince and Matty and track Buddies

It's terrible when you get hooked.
First it was the Monster.
Then it was Bling
Now I've got a track addiction.
Dam......

And today I spent the day at Somesby Junior Motorcycle flat track.

Can I do that too? Too many bikes and not enough time. Might have to quite working and just ride bikes.

(http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3026/2988222937_a67127bede.jpg?v=0)

Just picked up the slicks we have a slick monster on the forum [bow_down]

To late goldfish looking at 24th Nov wakefield park and already booked 12 and 13th of December  eastern creek [thumbsup]

But missed out for the 20th as i have something on [bang]

But will be for sure pre booking next year  [moto]

Tell me about it Matty im hooked big time   [moto]

If he's a "junior", I'd hate to see how old the "seniors" look!  [laugh]

So was the flat tracking fun to watch? I've been curious before, but never actually curious enough to go and have a look...

big

There was only 5-6 bikes there for the day.
It was a private track hire for them to shoot clothing ranges going around on riders/bikes.

Was pretty fun to watch, didn't have gear there to ride, but if there is another chance I'll go prepared.
Biggest problem Andy (pictured) had was that his WR Kwaka had road tyres as did the other version there.
The other few bikes were on more appropriate rubber.

I'll bang a few more snaps on flickr and let you know.

OK had 2 trackdays Friday and Sat ,Friday was a hum ding-er weather was great, I'm getting a little more comfy with the desmo now so I'm liking it more and more ,The Don was out there whizzing around on his  oil burner trackie RS250 nice [thumbsup]

Today it was a little bit wet and 1 only had 1 session out there,But still had a bit of fun  with a different sort of ride anyway  ;D

Thanks for the visit Big T , Betty and Jukie .

The pics from today are up......

Just need to figure out how to get them onto the Blog.....

PS: Thanks for the present Jukie   ...... And thanks for a great day out Dock, Jukie & Betty... 

Hey can someone tell me how to get these pics from my Flickr to the Blog Flickr???

Saw Vince and Big AL at Eastern creek yesterday, had an awesome time, though I still need to grow bigger balls to crank the bike right over (chicken strips). Had my own private scrutineer check the bikes over in my pit (thanks Vince) and a great yarn to Big AL. Yesterday was the first time that I have seen a D16 in the flesh Lovely bike, congratulations Vince.
Don
Great day had by all and I don't think an ambulance was called. [thumbsup]

Matty's your man..

The issue is that Flickr groups are pretty basic - you can't group into collections and sets, so we ended up starting a new flickr account for them.
Not ideal, but the best we could come up with for the moment.

I'm not sure how you can transfer from one account to the other in flickr - perhaps Matty knows..

Sorted!

Now that is service with a smile. Thanks heaps Matty....  [thumbsup]  [bacon]

Friday 6th march Campion ride days $99.00 Oran Park , anyone interested.
Im going
Don

Hey Don,

can we have more details please, do we need leather etc..... what is it all about   ???

I'm pretty sure this is the one Jukie:

http://championsridedays.com.au/portal/component/option,com_eventman/ (http://championsridedays.com.au/portal/component/option,com_eventman/)

Unfortunately you need leathers. You can rent 'em though.

_______________________________________________________________________
Scrutineering Requirements     

Leathers are mandatory for your safety. One or two piece leathers are required. You can hire Teknic leathers for $50 for the day, if required. Full length motorcycle boots, leather gloves and Australian Standard Approved helmets are required. All your gear will be checked to ensure it is safe for the track. (http://championsridedays.com.au/portal/content/view/32/116/)

NO desert boots, sneakers, motocross gloves, open faced helmets, draggin jeans or Kevlar gear allowed.

Hey Jukie

Don
