I know this a Skyline/cage sight but...... :mad:

(Joe, you'd be aware of this off the PSB site)

This Monday (24-05-04) Today Tonight are running a story on motorbike 'hoons'. They downloaded footage off the Perth Extreme site and intend to air it with 'expert' opinion being given by some wankers. Quotes include "They are loaded weapons ready to go off" "menaces to society" etc. You get the idea anyway.

As much as this won't interest you guys in the point of it's about motorbikes, the ramifications of this could be far reaching. SAUWA is a close group with high powered vehicles that enjoying pushing their cars to the limits, you know, driftin and stuff.

Who knows, the next story could be on SAUWA, probably unlikely but hey, it's a possibilty and this probably a bit of a warning that the sensationalising journos really don't care about the positives of group events but only focus on negatives.

Anyhows that's my 2 cents worth.

Have fun all :)

This will blow up in the car scene again when the SPR dvd/video is released. If your cars in any of the illegal footage they have i'd be asking for it to be removed.

The police use it as evidence to charge you with whatever you were doin wrong. hopefully in these scenes the SPR ppl were smart enough to bler number plates

it does go to show though that TT is real short on decent stories. Naturally the footage they show will be very selective as most of the stuff was done on dead end back roads.

It will be interesting viewing that's for sure, what they won't say is that most of theses guys are race riders, the group organises track days and workshops to improve skills.

exactly, we all fall under into the same group

anything happening to bikes we should take as much notice of since, as said, it's 'broad' enough to encompass imports

Sorry guys, I don't agree! While I do apprechiate the notice and interset in wellbeing of our club and drivers. I have been to some fast and respected cruises with selected participants. We all have fun but how we behave, as a club should not be mentioned.

There are those of us that appreciate an art of owning a Skyline. Hence SAUWA!!!

I love my ride; I respect the club rules and do not accept a term "Perth Extreme".

So don't affiliate us with statements like those, as there are others that read stuff on these forums. It is harmful. Again it comes to the language used.

So lets be mindful of such comments. I respect bike riders but dare I say that when you go for a bike licence you are told to ride defensively. Not aggressively mad. There is a cult to this image of patriots. I.e. An art of speed. Movies such as Gt40 run through Paris streets, the Z350 in Prag City .... Getaway_in_stockholm.mov do a search on the net guys.....driven by professionals and recorded on the pro equipment.....I say not armatures. Not everybody knows how to drive/ride. I don't have to say no more.

By saying this you've just said we break the law on cruises with "selected participants"...

?? Perth Extreme is not a term - it's a bike club man..

I respect bike riders but dare I say that when you go for a bike licence you are told to ride defensively. Not aggressively mad.

Again.. ?? you've just taken the same view as the public on modd'ed cars - a nice generalisation there..

I'm trying to work out what you're actually trying to say here Sexila...

Cam just trying to say and look at the quote ...from PSIKO....That just saying the things like that make you look like the oldies want you to, dangerous speed freaks.......

Lets be diplomatic about all this, and what is this "WE" business? hheehhe :)

Lets not attach adjectives to other people as we are not all the same...

This is a fight I can't win I know, its the same discussion I had with few insurance people.

Try telling someone you are calm and respestfull of others when you are driwin an inport.

There is a saying "You are who you are with" And that is missleading isn't it.

Again I say lets use smart language. Iknow you ride a bike Cam and drive Skyline but that doesn't make you a Mad Max does it?

Lets not advertise it!

Sorry if I have offended any bike riders ..... :)

    • 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.
