2015 Barry Sheene Festival of Speed

NotBandit and I attended the Barry Sheene Festival of Speed on Sunday.

Bikes were not taken due to 2 hours on a freeway and the availability of free diesel.

We were a little disappointed by the stalls and displays, not much to see off the track.

No Good for Barry, where would you put the ensuite?


I hope you guys enjoy these few snaps.

some good photos mate!

maybe not what you expected, but still good to go and see.

I`ve got nothing in Gladstone to look at except a pile of coal been delivered to a bulk carrier.

as for the CBX`s, I don`t know what to call a collective, maybe a cibixian of bikes....  I want one real bad

Nice pics and commentary Re-C.  

Great stuff.  I love those type of events.  Would be nice if we could find one to coincide with the next Bandit meet.

I was thinking the 2017 meet would be a good combination, I'd love to do that on the way to a NSW or QLD meet

I popped out there on Sunday also, but didn't make it into the pits at all.

Pics are here......

Some great action shots, looks like you were up close and personal. I saw a couple of Bandits in the parking area, did you ride?

Many moons ago when these first came out , I was in the Ulysses club , & a certain Yamaha dealer lent one to a member to take on a ride & show it off...............the inevitable happened & he pranged it .Well the long & the short of it is the dealer had it repaired & then sold it .................the only problem was , it was to another Ulysses member & we all recognised it................not a happy chappy for not being told what had happened to his demo bike he  had just bought .( even though it had been fixed properly )

thanks!

i didn't ride - prefer not to when i'm carrying my camera gear, & particularly when the weather doesn't know what it's doing.
the top box doesn't like too much weight in it, as the sheared bolts will attest to!

Kickarse shot of Alan Kempster, boomer.

He`s a dead set legion!!!!!!!!!

mtbeerwah - that's Alan Kempster!  I have watched him for a few years now, & still have no idea how the hell he does it.  To say I'm in awe of him is a total understatement.
