Hi All, Well at the track again on the weekend for ride day and had a good turn out. Started out a bit damp but sun came out and made a good day for most, had a couple of spills and well some people will bring there good everyday street bikes to the track for a ride. Here is just a few pics of one of the riders day out. Always happens when i am not at that corner taking pics.LOL

Ah, that brings back memories of my spill down at Phillip Island. Damn expensive fix-up alright! Creamed both sides of my nice shiny bike and tumbled in the kitty litter for what seamed like and eternity. Managed to ride home but my back was pretty stuffed.

Your first photo is very nice. Which lens did you use the 80-400 or the Sigma 70-200?

Believe it or not that bike will be written off if its insured( which it might not be if on the track).

the fastest way to turn a street bike into a race bike, wreck it at the track. Here (USA, CA) if you can prove you wrecked in a "driving" school or some sort of instructional class the insurance can not deny coverage. I have seen some $150,00 cars (think Lambo) totalled and covered. At least the first time!!!

Oh yeah, nice pre/post. Love the clay color!!
