WSBK February 2012

So folks, who is off to the Island for WSBK in only about 6 weeks?
I'll be there with a few non-forum mates on Sat and Sun but not Friday.

Our trip itinerary is:

- Wed: Canberra to Bright (via Tumut & Walwa)
- Thu: Bright to Traralgon (via Hotham, Omeo, Bairnsdale, Walhalla)
- Fri: Traralgon to Rhyll (via bottle shop & supermarket - delete the latter if we run out of time!)
- Sat: Track and Cowes bike shop
- Sun: Track
- Mon: Rhyll to Bright (via Reefton Spur & Mansfield)
- Tue: Bright to Canberra (via Murray Valley Hwy & Cabrumurra)

Can't wait!

I`ve been quite a few times to the supers / you`d love it; it`s great atmosphere

I'm still planning to meet you at Swifts Creek.
Will depend on fire and weather but Thu is good for me.
May / may not do Walhalla.

A meet at Swifts Creek sounds good Chris. When it gets a bit closer I'll work out our likely ETA. Checked the pack today as this year I am carrying the throw-over panniers and a sleeping bag. Will definitely be in tour, not sport, mode.

Roll on end-Feb.

You've got plenty of room Dave

That looks cosy. All you need is a cruise control and then you could laz back on the straights. Have a great, safe time.

Anyone else thinking of attending?

Yep, I thought of attending. But the wife's work commitments mean I am on child care duty that weekend.

the trade off is I get a week to go touring in March, a small consolation.

Hey Ewok, what are you're throw -over panniers (brand etc). They should go on the '06' shouldn't they?
Cheers, Steve

Mine are Motodry. I was in Canberra Motorcycle Centre the other day and Oxford appear to make an identical set (at least the same basic shape and size). The Oxford ones were about $80 from memory (maybe less).

Can't see why they'd be any problem with an '06. The panniers are held together by two velcro straps so are easily adjusted for width.

Cool, thanks for that ewok

I'll print up some laminated 'business cards' and any bandits I see at Phillip island next weekend I'll pop one into the join between the seats.

Better take a stanley knife with you then / pre 2007 bandits had a one piece seat

D'oh!!

Correction ! Mines an '06 and it has a Two piece seat. And a very pretty one at that.

ok then pre 06 ( blond moment ) wouldn`t be so pretty if he took to it with his stanley knife though

Have a GREAT time all you guys that are going and we want to see lots of pics.

It`s probably because the seats are " black " they look so good
the funny thing is my son`s is a 2006 model & I know his is the same as mine

Just turn to May in the SBF calander
