Yeah I wish, no both the wife and I had it handed to us by Adam, this was our first real ride in 5-6 years since before the kids came along. I have only done about 500 freeway km on the bike, and the last time the wife was on a bike she was riding a 250cc.

I want to do some motor bike school days next month and hope to step it up next time Im out.

Well since it wasn't my bike I tried to keep the front wheel mostly on the ground but holy crap those things go fast. I'll never stop loving thrashing the Skyline around a track but there is something to be said for hanging off the side of an engine on wheels, your face 50cm from the ground and your knee and elbow closer, while you scream around a corner.

My postie was no slouch either, keeping up with a mate on his R1 around the twisties only to see him disappear into the distance every time we hit the straight.

Pics of said postie:

Hey Adam, its Ramses.

How you been? Looks like your still riding a fair bit. Let me know the next time you go on a track day and hopefully i can make it. Weather looks good these days so let me know if your going on a cruise.

I spend too much time in the s15 now and i'm neglecting the bike. :P

Yeap the GP at oran, it was really good fun, and better then I originally thought it would be. It was cheap as well, $150 on a weekend BUT there were 160 bikes, no way we could ever put 40 cars on at once. It was really good after lunch once the numbers thinned out a little.

Hey mate, very good. I lost your number. Don't forget oroads. :D

yeah ive had my fair share of track days with my ex race bike (aprilia rs250) & an assortment of past 1000cc road bikes (r1, zx10r, gixxer) - get on eastern creek much better track as it used to be on the old 500cc calendar.

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
