| One of our club members has a well set up XS650 for sale at present, would make a good entry bike, contact me off list for details. |
Life may not be the party we hoped for, but while we're here we may as well dance |

Cheers matcho, chucking the rock lobsters down the dunny got me excited, but jumping off that bus sealed it! So thanks to Popeye and Bill, I've got my new ride, I'm in!!!
Got a racecraft course in 2weeks, licence test 2weeks after that and W.A. state championship a week after that, phew, worn out already! Exciting days ahead |

Maybe I need a week off work to finish things up................. Good luck as well Yamaman! |

Cheers Ben ,willing to try most things, but jeezus a honda!!!!
Anyone wear a tiger angel extreme classic suit? They look the buisness, can get pretty hot in the west, also track is supposed to be fairly abrasive (though I believe has been resurfaced recently and may be a bit more leather friendly)
Obviously is a choice that I would be stuck with for a while, or at least the next 50 years Any tips there'd be great.
Only got road type gear at the mo, and being 6'5" & 100kgs just about rules out a second hand set.

Nuffing wrong with honda's, just takes forever to get everything together for the older ones. I am determined to be at the old farts so I am stripping down the CX500 (puts combined bike/rider age at 70) and taking the KH100 in Ultralights,
I saw Keith Campbell's K4 CB350 on the weekend, have a lot of time and $$$ to invest before I get into that league, what an outstanding machine. |

Now listen Ben, there are 24 hours in theday.
8 for getting money for racing
6 for sleeping to get energy to go racing
1 for taking in fuel to go racing
That leaves 8 for chasing chicks or working on your bike to go racing, so what proportion of time have you been spending on this Honda. I am worried that you may have been lead astray mate!!
Yamahaman has been showing you up, Beennnie, your club Needs you!.
