Phillip Island WSBKs (2016 National Meet)

Hammy wrote:Question to the accommodation organizer.  I think that's you Max.    Is there room for 1 other male in the house. A good friend of mine up here is pretty keen and he is a really nice guy. ( a bit like me ) He rides a K13 though. But if you let him come then I can have some rides on his Bemmer .  Of course it will reduce the rent cost for everyone as well.

But it filled a quick smart. Staying there is a not very active forum member and his better half. And If any of you remember John on the BMW S1000R from the Parkes meet, he's coming down too.

I should be heading north with Ewok to pick up Hammy and arriving Thursday at the Island with everyone else.

Monday, John and me will be doing the Afterburners Track Day and Tuesday, John heads home and I'll see if I can pick up whoever's doing the mountains tour following the meet.

No KTM for this one - everyone else calculates their fuel range. On the KTM I calculate my mechanical component lifespan range.

Ewok1958 wrote:Hey guys, two things:

First, I just rang WSBK ticket sales as there is no mention of a cut-off date for pre-race sales, and I see they have decided to use Ticketek this year (unfortunately IMHO). The Ticketek system doesn't want to give out a free ticket if we buy 7, per the Group Bonus option but the nice Haley said that that is just Ticketek not being able to cope (great arrangement!).  But she can process a purchase at her end over the phone if we want to proceed. I also expect there will be an admin fee from Tickteck so the full price is more likely to be something like 7 X $120 = $840 / 8 = $105. There is no cutoff date for pre-purchasing the tickets so the only consideration is making sure we leave enough to get the tickets so that we all have one prior to the Fri.  I'm happy to do the group purchase if we are all in.

Secondly, how is the house rental going - I've only paid the $17 or so MM asked for the original joint which fell through but have we definitely secured the Surf Beach place and do I owe someone some $$$?

Cheers
