I'm not that stupid lol.

They won't ship interstate because of the "transport of dangerous good" excuse.

Charlie looked a bit better on the back of mine :/

This is what happens when you ride motards for too long

I'd be too scared of doing this with a 200hp bike:

Although I do like the look of the R1.. very much so.

Try this guy, I bought my spray can from him. Think he has tins in stock too if i remember correctly.

Haha don't kid yourself, similar shit will happen on any bike you ride. We can still hit the bike tracks :P

Which year R1 do you prefer?

Yeah true, still laughing over that night.. that push biker thinking wtf is a R1 doing on the bike track? lol

I'd go for a 08 or newer, like both shapes but wouldnt want to spend much over 10 if I go down that path so would limit me to an 08 all are great bikes though. Apparently the newer engine has better power delivery (or so my friend with a 2011 says) he loves shenanigans too.. often jerks himself off while going past bus stops with people waiting lol.. they get mad and I /wave at them

Haha I wanna go back there but also want to preserve option notice until November...somehow I reckon they'd break the notice if they caught me.

Haven't ridden the new one so can't comment on power delivery, it is slightly down on power or torque though, compared to my engine. Ever so slightly slower in a straight line too, but I'm sure the power delivery different makes up for it. Mine doesn't really come alive until 5k-6k.

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
