After last nights Pizza and todays sleep in I can finally report back. Wow what a full on day Bernie's training was great, 9 students with 5 teachers including Alex Cudlin , the new Superstock Endurance World Champion for 2010. The pace was pretty full on with heaps on advice as a group and personally given. I was buggered and not overly excited last night, due to exhaustion I reckon. Now looking back on it I really learnt a lot. Heaps of time spent riding. I did about 150 kms at The Farm which is a really technical circuit. Increasing radius corners, decreasing radius corners hair pins, off camber corners etc etc all thrown in. We ran anti clockwise and did 180 + KMPH on the back straight. Food was good I couldn't get much in the way of photos but here is what I have. It is lots of $$$ but I would recommend it after you have done some other training.       |

Sounds good, looks good but can I ask why there are big solid looking poles on the edge of the track? I'm sure it can't be answered but that seem a little dangerous to me, unless I am misinterpreting the photos.  |

Hi. I’m Troy McClure. You may remember me from such self-help tapes as “Smoke Yourself Thin” and “Get Some Confidence, Stupid!”
NYTimes: "...highlights of his global tour include encounters with Nelson Mandela, an 800-year-old demigod and a dildo collector."

sign post Matty, it needs to look like a standard road as per council requirement and so the owner can't get sued. As is it in the back of the bush and some person can easily venture on the road not knowing it is a private track.

Yes it's gated, in several spots. But if someone some how finds their way in there.......There are also speed advisory signs of which none are higher than 60, some as low as 30. Just for saftey's sake ! |

Yes John was an absolute top guy & a legend also. He rode a CBR600 that wasn't his around and was smooth as. What a gentleman.
He won the Bathurst 500 GP three times ...... Another of our talented instructors
