First topic message reminder :

Who's planning on doing the WSBK's in February, and who is interested in getting a house on the island?

There are plenty of options but we'd need to know who wants to join in to get a idea of what size place we'd need?

Going

Hammy + Mate
Ewok & Bev
madmax

Glad to hear you made it home safe Chook. I think it was the best " gathering " yet.

ps. We won't mention the pool at Omeo.
I must admit today was a struggle, I had to work real hard not to nod off. I went to bed at 12:30, woke at 4:20am, tossed and turned but couldn't get back to sleep, left Frances just after 8:00, coffee stop 1/2 hr up the road at Bordertown, quick stretch at Tintinara (rode in the rain for about 15km before then but it was still well over 30deg), fuel & coffee at Tailem Bend, it was pretrty hot fot most of the trip but when I came through the Heysen tunnels just before Adelaide it was like riding into a blast furnace, by the time I negotiated city traffic and nearly every red light from the Old Toll Gate to home I was absolutely drained
That Sounds like a shit ride mate. I just got back from a ride to quindanning for lunch. 210kms as I rolled in the door. First ride on the bandit for a while

Other than being tired the 1st 300 km wasn't too bad, the last 20-30 was pretty shitty,
Almost forgot, the 1st 50 km was spent dodging roos and wallabies as well, did that bit pretty slow.

I couldn't make the last session - speedo said 150km.

So I still got lost a lot.

Get with the program!

PS: my odo readings are reduced by the speedo healer.

Hey, that means your maintenance intervals are longer than everyone elses reducing your maintenance costs by 8% Phillip Island WSBKs (2016 National Meet) - Page 19 959052286

But on the downside then I only really did 138 kms at the track reducing the number of laps I got by 8% Crying or Very sad

But I think my tyres last 8% longer than they really do Phillip Island WSBKs (2016 National Meet) - Page 19 959052286

but they actually don't Crying or Very sad

But........I think I better stop now Embarassed

So are madmax's, at refuels if I'd done around 290 km, his only showed about 275

Then I've answered the age old question. Silver ones are faster.

Mine was 8% so I fitted a speedohealer.

Which blew up.

I pulled it out and was going to throw it away. A friend said can I have it? He resoldered all connections on the pc board and it resumed normal operation so his bike is now slower.

Therefore silver ones are 3.5% faster than black ones.

Blue ones are more efficient. travel from one place to another and do it over a shorter distance Laughing
